Though I haven't quite jumped on the peplum train yet, I do have one top, that, when belted, nearly fits the bill. It's not quite the same look, but it's a nice change over having every top tucked in. Perfect for a Friday at the office. Lace top- Zara (similar, similar, really cute option)Skirt- J.Crew (buy it ...

The Silk Blouse
When I don't know what to wear in the morning, I always reach for a dress shirt. It's the always appropriate, can't-go-wrong choice. I especially love this silk dress blouse from Banana Republic. It's a perfect off-white color and the fabric feels luxurious and a little fancier than cotton. The other thing I love about a silk blouse? ...
If You Like it Then You Should Put a Belt on It
I've worn this dress/jacket combo a few times now and wanted to find a way to make it feel fresh when I was getting dressed this morning.I don't usually belt my blazers, but I've done it a few times in the past and decided to resurrect the belted jacket look this morning. Dress- J.Crew Lucille dress (in yellow lace; incredibly adorable ...
Blood Orange for Summer & Fall
I absolutely LOVE the Hunter Dixon blouse I purchased at a trunk show held by my friend and fellow blogger Nina. In fact, we are planning on hosting a trunk show together sometime soon :) Now, it's not getting any cooler anytime soon here in Texas, but this blouse is the perfect example of a transition piece that can be styled for summer ...
Monday Gingham
I like to start Monday off with an outfit I love. But with love sometimes comes loss and I say this because I pretty much lost circulation in my feet because of these shoes. I'll be the first to admit that these shoes are horribly uncomfortable, but they are super cute (and it's not so bad if you'll be at your desk all day)...or so I tried to ...
Bright White & Computer Issues
If you follow me on Facebook, you know that my computer is on the fritz. Like majorly won't-even-start/in constant-system-restore-mode fritz. My Dell also got the blue screen of death, but it's like 7 years old so I can forgive that. I am taking my VAIO to the Microsoft store this weekend to at least try and recover some data. Thankfully, I ...
Re-Styling a “Memorable” Dress
Sometimes when a dress really makes a statement (like my yellow lace Lucille dress from J.Crew), you tend not to want to wear it as often because it's so "memorable." I think they key is to have fun with the piece, everytime adding one or two different elements. This time, I switched out the fabric belt the dress came with to this hot pink ...
Black on Black
I don't know what got into me this morning. Maybe it's the fact that I saw a personal trainer at my new gym on Sunday and realized that I am not as in shape as I thought I was (and can barely walk today)....and maybe it's that I need to curb my sugar addiction... or maybe it's because it was gloomy out...but I decided to wear all black. GASP! It's ...
Shorts That Go the Distance
My bright purple J.Crew chino shorts are arguably one of my best summer purchases. They're comfy, versatile and fun. So fun, that I seem to live in them on weekends. Today was no exception. I met with Magen, Monica and Mishelle (whoa, that's a whole lotta "Ms") for brunch at Tiny Boxwoods. If you haven't been there, it's amazing! I had ...
Double Take
I had a work-related event to attend after regular office hours Friday evening, so there was no "casual Friday" for me (I don't really remember the last time I had a casual Friday recently,come to think of it).I decided to re-wear my J.Crew Lucille dress in the emerald color again. I can already tell this dress is going to be one that is ...
