weekday casual | MDNA (and a good hair day)

top&jeans: Uniqlo / booties: DV by Dolce Vita / bracelets: Tiffany's, gift'd & Chan Luu
Although we were sad to leave NYC on Tuesday, we have lots going on this week. I actually took Wednesday and today off from work, mainly because we were seeing Madonna last night!


I obsessively bought pre-sale VIP tickets back in February, which were insanely costly, but you only live once, right?


The VIP tickets included a pre-party with food, drinks as well as a "swag" bag that had inside a tee, program, as well as sample of her new perfume.


Our seats were unfortunately not in the "golden triangle" but in the 3rd row.


She looked and sounded amazing!


And I have never gotten more compliments on my hair, from friends at the show as well as FB peeps after I posted my pics.

weekend casual

jeans: Gap
shoes: Target
scarf: India

Not much to say today except that I am sad the weekend is over.


We attended the 40th bday party of a friend of ours on Saturday night.


Everyone had a great time and the party lasted into the wee hours of Sunday morning.


I really liked my outfit too, but only got a picture of my new booties. They are DV by Dolce Vita that I found at Ross for $20. I decided life is too short to live without sparkly platform booties and bought them. My legs were aching by the end of the night, but they were worth it!

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!

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. :)

Weekend wear

all items remix'd:
top: Gap
skirt: Anthro
shoes: B.Makowsky
earrings: gift'd
bag: Gucci

The hubs and I had a fairly relaxing Saturday. Practiced yoga, did a little shopping (I looked but didn't buy...you should be proud), met up with the friends, ate out too much...the usual.

I was super excited to see that they are putting in a Lululemon in the Galleria. I own way too many articles of clothing from this place, but I wear them a lot too. I especially love this wall.

dress: Anthro
shoes (not pictured): Dolce Vita
earrings&necklace&bangles: gift'd
bag: Gucci

I never celebrated Easter growing up, so I never realized what a major holiday it can be to some people. We spent most of the day catching up with friends at various houses and restaurants. The hubs actually took quite a few photos of yours truly, but always forgot the most important part of the outfit...my shoes!

Week in photos (and what I wore)

We just returned from Cabo last night and I am now trying to get caught up with real life. Going on vacation is wonderful; returning takes some adjusting. So my 30-for-30 posts may be a bit delayed.


JJ is on a roll; I think he took his first steps when I was gone!


Dr. Seuss is his favorite


"Lady, do you ever NOT have a camera in front of me?!?"


Our view of the Pacific


Our Cabo San Lucas group


We did see the beach, albeit very briefly. Being by the water is not very fun when you can't get in!


Our last breakfast at the house. I took over 500 photos of our vacation and won't bore you with all of them, although I will probably post some more later this week!


My travel outfit to Cabo

I am a bit sad because I left that white cardi in one of the cabs we took to dinner. Oh well, I guess it could've been worse!

On why I like skinny jeans

all items remix'd
top: J. Crew
vest: Charlotte Russe
jeans: Citizens
shoes: Dolce Vita

I am, in general, a fairly slim, in shape person. One reason you can tell I am a runner is from my muscular calves and thighs. I do NOT have stick legs, like may girls. So when skinny jeans first became popular again, I was skeptical about how they would look on me.

I have to say that the right pairs (i.e. the ones that fit perfectly) actually make me feel, well, skinny. And feeling skinny is always a good thing.

26 + 27

4 + 19 + 24

I just switched out my pants and shoes last night to hang out with my peeps and watch Project Runway. Last night was a great, drama-filled show and solidified my love for Tim Gunn. I love how he calls it like it is!


5 + 16 + 30
earrings: gift'd&remix'd

I wasn't feeling the photo this morning. Probably because I went to bed at 10:45 and got up at 4:45 to run!

Only three more days to go. So ready to wear some different clothes!

15...halfway with a recap

21 + 24
shades: Dsquared
earrings: gift'd
bag: LV

I know I wore this dress 2 weeks ago and I know I haven't changed it up all that much, but I was really too hot to do anything about it.

I am halfway through the challenge and getting a bit nervous about making things look new. Fortunately I haven't worn all 30 items yet so that should save me for a couple days!

Here's a recap of the first 15:

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and here's to a great (and hopefully cooler but I'm not holding my breath) week!

That time of year again

The beginning of August always starts with the birthday of my dear friend M.
We celebrated by having dinner at Dharma Cafe.

And then drinks at Boheme.

On the walls of the restaurant were paintings by one of our favorite local artists, David Addicks.

He also happened to be at the restaurant and was gracious enough to take a photo with us.

And what I wore:
dress: Eryn Brinie (a new puchase from my recent NYC trip! and it was marked down from $95 to $19!)
shoes: Dolce Vita, remix'd
shades: D2, remix'd
necklace: AE, remix'd
bag: Gucci, remix'd

I am in the process of picking out my 30 items for the next 30 days...wish me luck!
