I visited Sephora last week to pick up a new Bumble and Bumble product that I've seen in EVERY magazine lately. It's their "texture" product and it's supposed to be used on wet hair to create the highly coveted beachy, matte, "undone" hair. It got some rave reviews on makeupalley.com (I always check it before I buy) so I decided to ...
OOTD: The Girl in the Green Dress
Happy Tuesday everyone! It feels weird saying that because it still feels like Monday to me, but I'm thrilled this work week will be over sooner! I'm anxious for the weekend to get here because we've totally been dilly-dallying on selling our home and we finally contacted our Realtor to list...so this weekend I'm once again ...
4th of July Trip: Lake Austin!
Happy 4th of July to all of my American readers and of course happy Canada day to all of my Canadian friends! We had a lovely 4th of July weekend relaxing on Lake Austin. It was so nice to just lay out (in the shade, with sunscreen and a hat on!) and to go boating and eat yummy food (I was definitely NOT thinking about calories this ...
OOTD: Lace On Top
You may have seen that I picked up this lacy top last weekend at Zara on sale for $29.99 from $59.90 (I had my eye on it for awhile but didn't take the plunge, hoping for a sale!) I wore it on Monday and I absolutely loved it. Someone even asked me "why I was so dressed up on a Monday?" I think this top has a dressier vibe and I love ...
Products I’ve Been Loving: Living Proof “Straight”
I'm not a huge fan of straight hair. I like hair with a little bounce and shape. Even when I "straighten" my hair, I do it with a blowout and I set it in Velcro rollers so it has a little shape instead of being pin-straight and flat (that is just NOT a good look for me.) So, why in the world would I buy a product called "Straight? I'm ...

Hi ladies! I'm delighted to announce the Stiletto Hardwa contest winner!Here's how I came to the winning number. I saw that there were 70 comments left and I used random.org to generate a random number: 48. I went through each comment and skipped past any that were not entries/did not indicate that they liked it on Facebook or a comment that was a ...
Weekend Shopping: Saks, Lululemon, Zara
So I'm kind of excited right now because I just got flash seats to the NKOTBSB concert tonight. I was a HUGE BSB fan back in the day (I even met them in 8th grade!) and I can't wait. I totally forgot they were coming and then I saw all of these Facebook posts about it and I just knew I had to go. So I got myself some $25 seats way in ...
OOTD & Night: The LBD
Happy Friday everyone! This week felt like it dragged on forever, didn't it? (or is it just me?) On Thursday, I had an awards dinner to attend (our firm won 4 awards--- 3 on projects I worked on!) I wore a black cotton dress during the day and changed into a lace dress for the awards dinner in the evening. I also wore BOTH pairs of my new ...
OOTD & Fitness Updates
I have an outfit of the day to post today, but I also wanted to share some exciting fitness updates! My H and I have been working really hard at the gym lately, going 5 days a week on average. We are doing a fitness challenge with our trainer where we are part of a team so we are getting measurements done ever two weeks or so to track ...
Motivation Mondays: Amanda from A. Co Est. 1984
She's been featured on my blog before in my self-esteem and confidence series (which I seriously need to get back on track with) and I'm thrilled to showcase Amanda from the blog A. Co Est. 1984 again today in my Motivation Mondays series. I couldn't help but notice how awesome she's been looking lately so I wanted to know more about her ...
