My husband and I had the best anniversary weekend! Our third wedding anniversary is actually on May 9th, but we decided to celebrate over the weekend. On Saturday, we went to our favorite hotel in the museum district, Hotel ZaZa. We got hour long massages at the ZaSpa and then spent the rest of the day longing by the pool---sipping mimosas ...
Playing with Plaid
I originally got this plaid J.Crew shirt in the fall, but I decided to wear it into spring because its colors nicely complemented my jade green pants and bright blue blazer, both from Zara.I styled this outfit two ways to show the different ways it can be worn. (shirt tucked in) (shirt un-tucked) (add a blazer)Pants- ...
Watercolor Lillies & Recipe for Success at TOOTSIES
I love Monet paintings. The gorgeous watercolors in soft colors are so pretty and feminine. That’s why I couldn’t help myself when I saw this watercolor print dress at Ann Taylor. Thankfully, I got it for 40% off. I wore this dress to an event last night benefiting Recipe for Success held at a local boutique, TOOTSIES, in ...
Watercolor Leopard
Sometimes, the perfect spring dress has a wild side. I scored this Presley Skye dress at Nordstrom a couple of months ago and wore it for the first time this week. It’s quite an attention-grabbing dress with its bold print and bright colors, but its high neckline and flowy shape are perfect for the workplace---paired with a blazer, ...

30 Day Challenge- Who’s With Me? (Fitness Update)
You can do anything for 30 days, right? That’s what I told myself this evening when I signed up for an unlimited month of classes at a local workout studio. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll likely never be one of those self-motivated people who can pump herself up to go to the gym and do a self-guided workout. As much as ...
How I Clean Our Home & My Favorite Cleaning Products
“Is your house always so clean?” “How do you keep up with it all?” “Do you have a maid?” I get these questions on a weekly basis so I decided it would be fun to write a post on my favorite cleaning products and methods. I’m a little OCD/Type-A about cleaning (okay, more than a little) so I like to keep a pretty clean ...
Ladies Who Brunch
One thing I love about Houston is that we have the most incredible brunch places. I am a huge fan of Eggs Benedict and get them nearly everywhere I go. It’s also a city with a lot of incredible bloggers and we like to get together from time to time to chat. It’s a gorgeous day here in Houston so we made reservations at ...
