She is also co-founder (along with her triathlete husband) of a new sunscreen line called Endurance Shield. Alicia and her husband Jarrod spend a lot of time in the sun and they realized that there wasn’t a sunscreen ...
Sunday Houston Blogger Brunch- May 2012
I think brunch was invented so that people would look forward to Sundays. Once a month, a bunch of us Houston blogger gals get together for brunch and this month it was at Haven, a restaurant described as a "seasonal kitchen"---they use fresh, local foods and their menu changes all of the time because they use what's in season. ...
Glorious Green
I feel like I've been on a green kick lately...it might just be "my color."I had an awards event to attend this past week for work and I wore my trust Zara tiered ruffle dress. It has never failed me! Dress- ZaraBlazer- NordstromNecklace- Regina PieralliniShoes- Ivanka Trump xoxo,Veronika. ...
Tunics as Tops
Happy Friday! H and I are relaxing, catching up on our DVR and enjoying Chinese food!So, this morning, I went to put on my new white Zara pants (that I also have in jade and black) and the fit was completely off. I didn't try them on when I bought them because they were the same style and size as the others I bought, so I figured they would fit ...
Skincare Updates: Acne & the Pill (or lack thereof)
This is a long overdue update on my skin since I stopped taking birth control pills in January. My skin was pretty good for the first couple of months and then it all went downhill. I'm now back to having hormonal acne around my chin, jaw and mouth area. Lovely, right? Fortunately, it is not as intense as it was when I was in my early 20's but ...
Neon & Lace
This morning while getting ready for work, I vowed to bypass my trusted J.Crew No. 2 pencil skirts for an older favorite, my lace pencil skirt from the Ann Taylor outlet.Reunited, and it feels so good. I'm seriously so happy I rediscovered this skirt. Sometimes I find myself buying new things and only wearing those things (obessively) ...
It’s Okay to Wear White, Right?
I love a crisp white dress and this Club Monaco one has been a staple in my wardrobe for the last few years. I don't own a lot of dresses with fuller skirts like this one so it's a nice change from the slimmer silhouettes you'll usually see me in.

On Tuesdays, We Wear Pink
No, this post isn't a tribute to the movie "Mean Girls," but today did feel like "wear pink to work day" at my office. If an outsider visited the office today, they would probably think an internal memo went out to wear pink on this random Tuesday. I tend to wear bright colors especially on days where I'm in a great mood so I chose my pink azalea ...
