Polka dots continue this week as I showcase my final ensemble for the CultureMap feature last week. This one incorporates one of my most beloved pieces---a classic trench that I scored at Banana Republic last year on mega sale! This outfit was fun to put together because it involved mixing the same print together---but in a different size ...

Polka Dots, Take Two
In part two of my fall must-haves series, I'm showcasing yet another way to wear polka dots. This sweater has larger polka dots that are more spaced out and I just love it. Simple skinny pants were all that was needed to pull the look together. Sweater- J.Crew (similar, similar) Pants- Banana Republic (buy ...
Fall Must-Haves: Featured on CultureMap
I kind of took a break from blogging last week. I don't know why, but every once in awhile I get a little burned out and need to take a week off to refresh and re-motivate myself. Thanks for your patience and for all of the sweet ladies who sent notes wondering if I was okay. I assure you, all is well, I was just tired. I'm ...
Falling for Pink
I broke out the wool this week! I was so excited to wear my J.Crew No. 2 pencil skirt in the pink color because I had set it aside all summer due to the fabric. Oh how I've missed you! Blouse- J.Crew (similar, similar) Blazer- Nordstrom (similar) Skirt- J.Crew (buy here in other colors) Shoes- Zara ...
A New Fall Neutral
This burgundy skirt from Target was a steal at $22---and I'm loving the way it mixes with various prints and color combos. It's almost like a neutral for fall. I decided to add a tiny polka-dot blouse and a striped blazer in the same colors. If you're scared to mix prints, try using prints in the same color family to ease into the ...
In Her Shoes
I'm very much a die-hard pencil skirt addict. But everyone once in awhile, I like to switch up my silhouette. I think it's my new Zara shoes that inspired me to wear a fuller skirt this week. I also had a luncheon to attend and wanted to look a little dressier, which I think a fuller skirt can sometimes accomplish. Dress- ...
Pretty Pink.
A coworker of mine told me my makeup looked really great on Monday---and I hadn't changed anything, so I knew it was the pink shirt I was wearing that I got at GAP over the weekend. Isn't it great when a color brings out the best in your skin? Shirt- GAP (buy it here) Skirt- Zara (similar) Shoes- Nine West (buy them ...
A Place for Lace
I went on a little bit of a hiatus from this navy skirt from Zara and didn't wear it very much when I first got it. But over the past six months or so, it has quickly become one of my most-loved pieces. It pairs well with so many textures, colors and patterns. I love this blood orange and navy combo. Both colors are rich and ...
Mint + Turquoise= Love
I started my Saturday off right with a workout with my trainer---and it just got busier from there! We had our handyman come over to install our curtains, chandelier and wall-mount our master bedroom TV (more on that in another post). H and I decided we would go out for dinner---we went to PF Chang's and then had frozen yogurt at Berry Pop. I ...
What I Wore: Dinner at Smith & Wollenskys
Friday night, I met up with my blogging beauties, Bethany, Magen, Mishelle, Monica and Nina. We dined at Smith & Wollensky's (my first time ever) and since it was Houston Restaurant Week, I got an appetizer, entree and dessert for $35 (plus tip, of course). It was delish! I FINALLY started using Instagram and now I know why ...
