Happy 4th of July to all of my readers! We are off to spend a day at the country club with my in-laws! It will be nice to get some reading done at the pool---and no worries, I'm drenched in sunscreen! I'm still over-the-moon about the bow-back dress I scored at J.Crew last weekend on mega-sale, so I was excited to wear it this week.I ...

Minty Monday & What I’ve Been Doing to Keep Fit!
No Motivation Mondays today---but maybe this will motivate you---I'm so sore, I can hardly walk! Now that I'm back into regular workouts, I've come to really embrace my Sunday afternoons. I have a whole routine--- go to the gym, reward myself with a little scouting trip to Marshalls Home Goods and then go grocery shopping (and I'm ...
Light Rose
My undying love for the J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt is deeper than I ever imagined. In fact, during the extra 30% off sale, I picked up yet another one---this time, in the color "light rose." It's actually more of a bright coral color---and every bit as delightful as my other No. 2s (seriously, I need to start naming them). Let's call this one ...
50 Shades of Purple
Though I never quite had an affinity for Barney, the big purple dinosaur, it certainly didn't keep me from wearing head to toe lilac, with a few touches of gold, for balance, of course. Why, not, I thought? This outfit actually kind of reminds me of our sofa pillows! Shirt- Talula Boyfriend Shirt (Aritzia)Skirt- J.Crew No. ...
The White Pant
I don't recall the last time I owned white pants (I returned the ones I got at Zara a couple of months ago because of fit issues) so when a co-worker recommended GAP's modern boot pants to me, I jumped at the chance to buy them at 30% off when GAP was running a promo a few weeks ago.A word of warning---these stretch like crazy as you wear ...
All Tucked In
This printed tunic from Zara is one of my most loved blouses of the moment. I love that it's super thin and lightweight because it wears so well under pencil skirts. You may remember that I also wore it tucked into shorts for brunch a couple of weeks ago. (...and if you don't remember, here's that outfit): ...and here is that same ...
Neon Coral
I often think about what a complete 180 I've done with my style these last couple of years. That feeling came full circle this past weekend when I accompanied my friend on a shopping trip where she too delved into the world of colors and brights. She is me 2 years ago---lots of gray, black and navy (remember how practically every outfit ...
Succulent Green
ALERT THE PRESSES! It's official y'all, the J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in double serge cotton is just as amazing as its cozier cousin, the No. 2 Pencil skirt in double serge wool.I have to admit I didn't think I would love the double serge cotton skirt as much as the wool---but I love it as much as the wool (and maybe more, at this point, ...
Monday Blues
Thank you to everyone who helped me with my camera settings a few weeks ago. I think I'm finally seeing an improvement. I lowered my ISO and I'm using natural light from the balcony doors behind my camera. Dress- Target (buy it here!) Belt- J.Crew Outlet Blazer- Zara Shoes- Jessica Simpson Necklace- Stella & Dot c/o This affordable dress ...
Jade is the New Black
No really, it is. These jade pants have arguably become my most favorite pants ever. I just love how they add that pop of color without being too bright (thus, not offensive in the slightest for the workplace). I went for a more relaxed look on Thursday and paired them with a polka-dot blouse from GAP and a J.Crew long cardigan in ...
