working wardrobe | just another day

top: Ann Taylor / skirt: Theory / shoes: Anthro / necklace: Collingnon Designs / sunnies: Dsquared

Today was just an average, ordinary day. Still glad the sun is out but it's not terribly hot. Yet. And really looking forward to the weekend.


I like this skirt but it works better with heels, which I haven't been wearing much lately (although I did yesterday and yoga didn't suffer as much this morning as I thought it would). Still on the fence on whether to keep it...

weekday casual | holiday party no. 2

HIM blazer: Theory / shirt: Gucci / jeans: Gap / shoes: Kenneth Cole
HER dress&necklace: Loft / tights: Urban Outfitters / shoes: Tory Burch

Our friend EJ throws a big holiday party every 2nd Thursday of December. Over the last few years he incorporated a photo wall, this time with a big sparkly bow.


My tights (and booties) were a hit, although I ended up taking the shoes off before the end of the party because my legs were killing me. Note to self: always bring a back up pair of flats to parties when wearing high heels.


Having a good hair night too.

Hope you have a great weekend!

A good combination

top: Theory / skirt: J. Crew / shoes: Payless / earrings: gift'd

This outfit made me happy. The combination of old (top, which I've had forever) with new (skirt, this year) and high (Theory) with low (Payless) proves to me that style not where you buy your clothes but how you wear them. And a little lot of pink is always a good thing.

layer up week | short over long sleeves

The always adorable and fashionable Megan and Keely are hosting another fashion challenge this week, in which I will attempt to participate as best as I can. Layers can be tricky in the South, as sometimes the weather just doesn't allow for them, even in the dead of winter, so this will definitely be a challenge for me.

I really love these red wedges even though they are a bit tight. I am hoping they will stretch out after a bit of wear. The weekend seemed to have flown by and I still can't believe January is almost over! The hubs was out of town this weekend and I am ready to see him tonight :)

Finally Friday

Is it weird that the hubs and I are in bed before 9 PM and up before 5 AM? I swear we are not grandparents, we just like to sleep! We rarely watch TV these days; in fact the only shows we watch on a regular basis are Modern Family and The Soup. The Soup keeps us up-to-date on pop culture so we feel like we know what's going on, even if we don't!

I thought these 2 green outfits would look good in the same post, as they are color I don't typically gravitate to. Pink will always be my signature color, but I like the share the love with other colors in the rainbow.

I am thankful that this is a non-working weekend and we really don't have anything big planned. I could use a nice, long weekend full of nothing.

no. 3

top&belt: Anthro
sweater: Gap
skirt: Theory, consign'd
shoes: Jeffrey Campbell
jewelry: Collingnon Designs

I have discovered why my closet seems to be fuller than normal these days. 1. My winter clothes (sweaters, cords, etc) take up much more room that shorts and tees. 2. I don't put away many of my summer tops because, like this one here, they make for great layering. 3. The weather here in Houston is so unpredictable that you never know when you may be wearing shorts in December! I am keeping my fingers crossed it won't come to this in 2011.

Fall trends: Midi me

top&belt: Anthro
skirt: Theory
shoes: 9West
earrings: Collingnon Designs, gift'd* (and new!)

Looking at this photo has made me realize that when belting this skirt, it is not quite as "midi" as I envisioned, but it will have to do.


These earrings were a gift from the hubs yesterday as a congrats for reaching the 100! He really is the best. For those of you who watch Modern Family, I keep wanting to call them "hair rings!"

A little Missoni goes a long way

top: NY&Co, remix'd
skirt: Theory, via consignment
shoes: Missoni for Target
earrings: Collingnon Designs, remix'd
necklace: Tiffany's, gift'd

For all my talk (obsessing?!?) over the Missoni for Target line, I thought wearing something would be better sooner than later. I actually bought these online and they are surprisingly comfortable for 3+ inch heels. The fact that they are not stilettos probably helps.


I am actually the type of person who waits a few weeks before I wear something I buy. I am not sure why. I am guilty of still having a few things in my closet that I bought this summer and have yet to wear. Reason #325 not to do any more shopping.


This skirt is the second item I bought during my recent trip to the consignment shop. I have been wanting a pleated midi skirt and this fits the bill perfectly. It is a bit big in the waist and fits a bit lower than I would like, but nothing that a skinny belt can't fix (so now I need a good skinny belt!). And something about full skirts and feeling pretty just makes me want to twirl.

No sleeves please

The buzz around the fashion/style blogosphere seems to be the upcoming fall season and fashion. Unfortunately here down south wearing layers is months away. I always crack up when I see sweaters and jackets on display at stores - I can hardly even think about wearing anything with sleeves right now!


all items remix'd
top: Theory
shorts: Gap
shoes: Dolce Vita
sunnies: Dsquared
earrings: Collingnon Designs, gift'd
cuff: Tiffany's, gift'd
chains: Calypso for Target
bag: LV, gift'd

This is another top I decided to wear after seeing Linda, a fellow Texan blogger, wear the dress version. It is another oldie but goodie:

Here I am wearing it during our trip to Ibiza back in 2008.


These shorts are not quite as old, purchased in 2009. I have been favoring shorter shorts this summer compared to last but bermudas are a good length when going to dinner so your thighs don't stick to the chair. :)

Back in the swing of things

top: Theory, old
pants: Gap, remix'd
shoes: Geox, remix'd
earrings: gift'd&remix'd

We had a fabulous time in Austin over the Memorial Day weekend. I took tons of photos, and will post a recap later. I am now trying to get back into the swing of things. Fortunately I don't have to be at work until 10 AM today, which buys me a little bit of time.
