No really, it is. These jade pants have arguably become my most favorite pants ever. I just love how they add that pop of color without being too bright (thus, not offensive in the slightest for the workplace). I went for a more relaxed look on Thursday and paired them with a polka-dot blouse from GAP and a J.Crew long cardigan in ...
Spring & Summer Trends: Blogger Preview Event for Simon Fashion Now!
Last night I attended a blogger preview event for Simon Fashion Now's Spring 2012 show at the Galleria Houston. This year, the event was fun and interactive---I got to meet a lot of local bloggers and each store had a little presentation for us on spring trends---most notable were those given at L.K. Bennett and Bare Escentuals---I was ...
Royal Blues & Outfits from Last Week
I feel like it's a miracle that I'm posting an outfit right now. Ironically, I've been loving my outfits lately but sometimes I don't have time to snap more than a quick iPhone pic before I leave the house (thanks to having to leave earlier because of Houston's horrific drivers, who make traffic even more of a frustrating expereince than I ever ...
What I’ve Been Eating & Favorite Snacks to Stash in Your Desk Drawer (& Fridge!)
If you follow me on Facebook, you'll notice that I've posted lots of pictures of my yummy salads that I've been eating for lunch everyday. Like this one: I am so fortunate to have a great breakfast/lunch place on the first level of the building I work in. It has literally been life-changing for me because for awhile there, I had been eating Kashi ...
7 Products I’m Obsessed with Right Now
As I'm working on my blog's redesign, I'm thinking about the feedback you all provided and I'm going to add a favorites tab to my main header. Today's post is kind of inspired by that. I went to my master bathroom after work today, looked through my drawers and cabinets and selected products I have been absolutely loving lately. So here are ...
Master Bedroom Paint Reveal!
Our painting journey has finally come to an end so I decided to break things down and do a post for each room separately. You’ve already seen our main floor (kitchen, dining room and bathroom) and my painted and re-organized closet and today I’m revealing our master bedroom. This is the room in our house I have the most ...
Closet Tour!
I’ve done a post about my closet before (both in our old house and our new house) but I thought I’d film a video this time too. For those that don’t have time to watch my video tour, I’ve included photos of my closet in this post. Let’s take a look at what my closet looked like when we first got the house: This is actually from when ...
Weekend Shopping: Fitting Room Photos & Haul Video
Happy Saturday everyone! As always, I like to blog my fitting room photos as often as possible. You can watch my haul video here, or just check out the photos below! (by the way, there is a Lulu cameo in the video, so it's a cute one!) Everything I bought today is from Zara. That store has really been impressing me lately. It has become a ...
5 Things You Can Do Right Now to Help Prevent Aging
I'm turning 29 in May and something I think about more and more as I get older is how I can protect my skin from showing signs of aging. I've been very open about the fact that I would consider Botox as I age to prevent and smooth out wrinkles, but for now, I'm doing everything I can to delay that because the better I am to my skin now, the ...
A Painted House
Our home is nearly completely painted! All that’s left are bedrooms and bathrooms. I am so excited that our home now feels more like “us.” We ended up choosing Benjamin Moore’s “Revere Pewter” for the majority of our home. When your home is as open-concept as ours is, you really need to use a paint color that transitions well ...
