You know that expression "everything happens for a reason?" A couple of weeks ago I was driving back to work after grabbing some lunch and as I was waiting at a red light I noticed a truck in front of me that had an 800 number for a home handyman. Thinking this was "a sign" I quickly grabbed my iPhone and snapped a shot of the ...
Black & White Gingham
J. Crew's Perfect Shirt in gingham is becoming one of my favorite items in my closet. For starters, it's incredibly versatile and the fit is flattering (I ordered a 2 tall to get the extra length and I'm so pleased with how it's tailored). But, before I get ahead of myself, I just had to share my latest aquisition. This pretty, ballet slipper ...
How to Get Perfect Loose Curls with One Product! Bumble & Bumble Texture Creme Rave!
I don't want the title of this post to be deceiving, so here is the disclaimer: this is a post about how to get loose curls on hair that has been styled and slept on. I made this discovery by accident over the weekend. I woke up Sunday morning with some fourth day hair and I didn't want to do anything to it. No styling, no ...
Scalloped Edges
I bought this top months ago and haven't worn it until now. It's actually a pretty long tunic, but on me, way too short to be a dress. I loved the cutouts on this top---but what sold me were its scalloped edges. I typically wear what I buy immediately (within a week or so) but for some reason, this top rested in my closet for quite some ...
Blushing Lace
This weekend, Candice and I had a belated Christmas gift exchange and one of the gifts she gave me this gorgeous soft pink lacey top from Aritzia (the brand is Talula). She got it when she was visiting her family in Canada (that's definitely one store I miss!) I paired it with my new J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt that I got on mega-sale in ...
2012 Resolutions
I've been looking forward to writing this post because it's always motivational to see your goals and remind yourself about what you hope to accomplish in the coming year. I had originally planned to take a look back at my 2011 goals, but I think it's best to start fresh and with a positive outlook instead of focusing on what wasn't ...
Dressing in Dots
In my last haul video, I talked about a silk dress I scored at J.Crew for $53 (it was originally $168). Pleased with my incredible savings, I finally wore it today. Dress- J.Crew Cardigan- Express Scarf- Forever21 Tights- Target Boots- Jessica Simpson Jacket- BR Bag- Tory Burch Reva Clutch Polka-dots again? Well color me ...
In the Navy
I was all excited this morning to wear my new bird-print top. I had the perfect outfit planned and paired it with navy diamond-patterened tights and my navy blue lace skirt from Zara. Later this afternoon, in a meeting room full of delightfully flourescent lights, I noticed that my lovely bird blouse was not in fact navy, but black. Though my ...
