Do you ever buy something that you think is really cute and then end up wearing it so much that you realize it was one of your best buys of the season? That's how I feel about this H&M sweater coat. I can only think that my grandma's sweet spirit was shining down on me when I discovered this sweater coat while shopping in Bratislava after her ...
I’m Having a Colonoscopy
The title says it all, folks. I finally went to see a gastroentronologist after dealing with IBS (and its many, many symptoms) since I've been a teenager. I've seen many doctors and done many tests over the years but I'm still having issues and I'd just like to get my digestive system back to normal (if that's possible for me). In the ...
Motivation Mondays: Jamie’s Back to Talk Swimming!
Do what you love! Since my last motivation Monday post a lot has changed. I'm going to be completely honest with you. I used to be the kind of person that would work out once a week if at all in the winter, and then when April rolled around I would grudgingly up my workouts to 3 a week and hate working out. I am in school as well and I ...
Shop My Closet: Blog Sale
I hope everyone had a love weekend! Today my husband, my best friend and I went to church together and then went and had brunch at Backstreet Cafe. Yum! I spent the entire weekend cleaning my house. Like deep cleaning everything. It was nice to have today off to relax. I also had time today to finally take photos for my blog ...
Saturday Houston Blogger Meetup: Ladies Lunching
Today I got to have a lovely lunch with my favorite blogger friends: Monica from Classy & Fabulous Angela from Everyone Loves Lipstick and Magen from MAP Your Style I was a few minutes late to lunch because my hair appointment ran a little over and when I arrived I just had to laugh when I saw our table: you know you've got a table full of ...
OOTD: I Have No Sense of Direction
Happy (almost) Friday everyone! I had the busiest day ever today. I went from meeting to meeting and overall the day was hectic. It all started when I was meeting one of my clients at a radio station this morning. Because it's on a college campus, the building had no physical address (what!?) and I had to go by intersections ...
Shopping Smarter: Tips & Tricks (Share Yours, Too!)
One of my new year's resolutions this year was to shop smarter. So, when I saw this post on over shopping by the lovely Gigi over at Gigi's Gone Shopping, it made me self-reflect a little. I feel like I've been doing a lot of personal posts lately, so forgive me for the frequency, but I think these are important topics to ...
Motivation Mondays: My Current Workout Routine & Eating
This isn't a true Motivation Mondays post, but a lot of my lovely readers have been requesting that I post more about my fitness routine and eating habits. I'll touch on the eating part first, because I've just been really struggling with my IBS lately so I'm seeing a specialist this month to talk about what kinds of foods might help me (I'm ...
Getting Personal: Why I had a Breast Augmentation
What a title, huh? Might as well keep it simple and to the point. A lot of you ladies who read my blog know that I underwent breast augmentation surgery in April of 2007, about a month away from my 24th birthday. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself and because I get a lot of questions and emails about the procedure and ...
Weekend Shopping: I Heart Neiman Marcus (&OOTD)
I slept until 10 a.m. this morning and lazily laid in bed until 10:30 or so watching TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress." I'm a "need 8 hours of sleep" kind of girl and I tend to listen to my mind and body---so if I sleep in on a weekend, I'm thinking it's because my body needed it to "regenerate" (or something like that). I finally rolled myself ...
