BB

dress: All Saints / necklace: gift'd / shoes: BCBG / bangles: Alexis Bittar / bag: Gucci

This is my last outfit BB (a.k.a. Before Bangs). We went to an art gallery opening last Friday and this dress was perfect for the warm weather.

Now please excuse me while I go sneeze another 1023 times...

Good morning sunshine!

You know you are an early bird when waking up at 7 AM feels like sleeping in! Last night we had the honor of celebrating on of my besties last year in his 30s.

He is one of those people who make you feel like you are the most important person in the world when you talk to him, hence everyone thinks he is their best friend. And my world is definitely better for knowing him. Happy birthday cutie!

I wore a new dress to his party. It was on super-sale at Anthro so I couldn't resist.

dress: Anthro
shoes: BCBG, remix'd
necklace: gift'd&remix'd
belt: Gap, remix'd
bracelet: Chan Luu, remix'd

It is a shift dress and runs rather large (I am wearing in XS and I am not an XS person) but is super comfortable for the summer, machine-washable, and looks great with a belt. I think it could even be work appropriate with a cardi thrown over.


Note to self: remember that celebrities always put at least one hand on their hip when taking photos of a sleeveless outfit - helps define the shoulder and get rid of arm fat!


And just a quick photo of me and the hubs. Isn't he the cutest?

I have really been enjoying the 30 remix challenge this time around. As I have been nearing the end, I got a request from Linda to wear these shoes again. I am to please, so here they are!

This bag has been my new everyday purse since receiving it for my birthday this year, even though this is its first appearance on the blog. The hubs knows how to spoil a girl.

I am getting back on my regular wake-up-and-blog-before-the-sun-comes-out schedule which means today is going to be a better day :)

I am wearing my dress of the summer again. It's just the perfect material for hot and humid Texas summers (except that it wrinkles to death when I even just look at it funny).


This time I decided to make it a bit more fun and casual with bold jewelry and shoes. Everyone knows I love my big shoes :)

Veintidós: I would wear these shoes everyday if I could

This summer I, like many of my fellow blogging fashionistas, have embraced shorts as a valid fashion statement. Of course I am trying to not wear them with only tees and tanks. To up their fashion ante, shorts have to be accessorized properly!


And what I think makes shorts more fashionable...fierce shoes, of course! If I didn't have to worry about my hamstrings getting too tight (heels are not the best for yoga practice) or tripping onto my face (5+ inch platforms can be difficult to navigate, depending on the terrain!), I would wear these everyday. They are surprisingly comfy and I love the way my legs look in them. Why is it that flat sandals are just not as appealing as massive heels?

This post really resonated with me and when I found that these girl's were doing another Dress Your Best challenge, I knew I wanted to participate.

I used to be envious of girls with long skinny legs. I am not one of those girls. I have calves that are bigger than most boys (except of course the hubs!) I know. But I have finally embrace my muscular calves. They have helped me finish 3 marathons and countless other races. They are most currently stretching more than they ever have and carrying me through my yoga practices. And for that I am thankful.

A nod to the 70s

I have been inspired lately by different boho looks I have seen in magazines as well as on different style blogs, so I wanted to see what I could scrounge up in my closet.


I am glad I hung on to this blouse, because it works nicely, without being too costume-y. I just love Target!

Shoulders are ok

I went shopping for the first time in over 2 months last week while I was working in Dallas. I bought a skirt and...

shoes: BCBG, via DSW (new!)
shades: Dsquared, remix'd

these platforms! They are knock-offs of the Miu Mius that were popular last year. I have also realized that no matter how much I try to resist, I will not be able to stop wearing heels altogether (so that I don't tighten my hamstrings too much, which can make my asana practice suffer). I am just going to have to alternate with flats.

As I was looking at my outfits from the past few days, they look almost identical. Now that the temperature is rising, wearing layers is not much of an option. One good thing about being home? Showing my shoulders is ok!
