Hello, yellow. As I mentioned in my post where I got to rent a dress from Houston's New for the Night, yellow is a color that has always been out of my comfort zone. But when I saw that J.Crew's Lucille dress also came in a sunny yellow lace, I couldn't resist (I got it on sale, too!) Dress- J.Crew (buy it here)Belt- ...

The Grass is Greener
It ain't easy being green. Okay, that's a lie. We all know by now that green is the color of summer...or maybe just MY color of summer, but either way, it IS easy being green..because the vibrant color suits so many skin tones.Here's my latest green pairing... Shirt- Talula @ AritziaSkirt- J.CrewNecklace- Bauble Bar lime ...
Lace for Summer
It may seem odd to wear a half sleeve top in the height of summer, but when it's lacey, it's airy and perfectly suited to keep you cool (though, in my case, I had to use a heating pad at my desk all day because of the office's frigid A/C). Imagine how much money all companies could save if they turned the temperature up just two degrees in ...
Orange You Glad I Heart Coral? & Bubble Necklaces for $19.99!
I always shyed away from coral and orange colors, but this summer, I've embraced coral, blood orange and everything in between. In fact, two of my most recent outfits have featured pretty pops of orange: In addition to adding lots of pink, green and blue to my wardrobe this summer, I'm glad I also stepped out of my comfort zone ...
Bright to Brunch
We went out for an early brunch this morning so that we could start our day of errands...little did we know there would be a torrential downpour later on. There is so much thunder and lightening happening right now, I'm surprised I still have an Internet connection. We did get to squeeze in our grocery shopping though, which was great.I decided to ...
Emerald
Oh the J.Crew Lucille dress. We met over a month ago. We gave eachother a look. You tempted me with your beauty, but when I looked at your price tag, my dreams of having you in my closet were shattered. Then, last weekend, you were on sale for $99.99 plus an additional 30 % off and now, we're going steady (because let's just be honest, your ...
A Great Investment
I feel like I've written this before about this blouse, but this is probably one of my best investments of 2011/2012. It goes with everything and is incredibly comfortable. I think the black and white classic stripes make it quite seasonless as well, which is a bonus. Shirt & Skirt- J.Crew (similar vertical stripe; ...
Sweaters for Summer?
Navy blue and hot pink might just be one of the best color combos ever. It's not quite as harsh as black and hot pink and the rich, deep blue plays well off of the neon color of the sweater. This outfit was incredibly comfortable and felt totally laid-back---but the lace of the skirt made it look a little more dressed up than it ...
Bright Shorts for an Unproductive Saturday
Today was the day of errands gone wild. We had intended to get my passport photo taken, and that was a fail because I wore a white dress shirt without thinking. Then, I forgot to deposit some checks to the bank and it was closed by the time I realized it.Then, we went to Restoration Hardware and we realized that the drapes we want only come ...
A Wrinkle in Time & A Very Special Young Girl- Help Her Birthday Wish Come True!
Oh linen. So perfect for the summer, yet so wrinkle-prone. What's a girl to do? Wear it anyway, I suppose. Does casual Friday mean "linen wrinkles permitted?" Probably not, but a girl can wish, no?For all of you Lulu fans---this post is for you :) and please read the end of this post, because I think the story will move and inspire ...
