all dressed up | Happy 2013

Most of my wardrobe these days consists of either clothes for work, yoga or hanging out. I do my best to buy clothes that have multiple functions, but for something like New Year's Eve, something special is always best. I had looked at the Neiman's collection for Target back in December when it first released but wasn't super-impressed, especially since the prices were not in the typical Target range. However, at 50% off, I was definitely more inclined to try something, especially this top, which intrigued me online and I loved even more in person. Lots of ruffles which in not for everyone, but which I loved and works for me with my broad shoulders and height (I am not super tall, but not petite either so it doesn't overwhelm).


Our last selfie of the year
The hubs and I had a fantastic time ringing in the new year with our friends but I am having a hard time getting back on schedule. You know you are an early riser when you feel like you're running behind if you wake up at 5 AM instead of 4:30AM!

At least it's already Wednesday so the rest of the work week should go by quickly. Are you returning to work today or are you one of the lucky ones who has the rest of the week off? Either way, have a good one!

2012 | parting thoughts

Looking back on the year, the things I will cherish most are not things at all but moments spent with those I love the most: the hubs, our families and our friends, both near and far. I hope you have had a wonderful holiday season (and year) with your loved ones as well. Here's to a fabulous 2013!

P.S. Be safe tonight and call a cab if you need to!

Counting my blessings

2011 was definitely an interesting year. I am unbelievably lucky that I have had more highs than lows and thought I would share some of the best moments of the year here.


1. The best friends.


2. The best room in which to practice yoga.


3. The best new friends.


4. The best buddha baby nephew, with a nose that looks like this girl :).


5. The best concert.


6. The best sparkly wedding shoes.


7. The best 40th birthday trip..


8. The best movie.


9. The best sunrise.


10. The best zombies.


11. The best newly-two-year-old nephew.


12. The best families.


And, of course, the best man with whom to share my life!

Happy 2011!

We rang in the new year with some of my dear friends from high school in Austin. We had a fabulous time (even though we had to wait 2 hours to hail a cab to bring us home!) and stayed up way too late, which is why I am going to bed soon. Here's to a great year!

Happy 2008!

We spent a fabulous NYE with our friends at Reef for dinner and then Kirt and Mike's to ring in 2008. We definitely didn't get enough sleep last night but will go to bed early tonight. Here's to the New Year!

Goodbye 2007

Wow - the last day of the year. I can hardly believe it! I would say 2007 was a pretty good year. We had some trying times but hopefully 2008 will bring lots of new additions (or at least one) to our family (and by family I mean our extended family although I am not opposed to making our little family of 2 a bit bigger either!).

Happy 2007!

The past 2 days have been a whirlwind. We started at little Berry Hill for afternoon drinks; I came home early and watch a marathon of Law and Order until the party at Kirt and Mike's. We stayed there until well past midnight and then danced the night away at Habitat.

Today we spend by the pool and Kirt and Mike's. A very relaxing day, but I am exhausted and will be going to bed shortly. Here's to a great new year!
