weekend casual | times four

Saturday

cardio / work / Vegan fest / Praia Urbana {new Lulu shorts from the hubs}

Even though summer does not technically start until Friday, it's here. Spring was beautiful but the heat and humidity has hit us hard.

Sunday

yoga / pool / cardio / home

And that's why one must change a million times a day: walking outside for only a moment will cause you to sweat profusely.

It's Monday already. How is it that the weekend days fly by so fast? Here's to a great week!

weekend casual | a little love

HER:dress: Anthro / shoes: Sam Edelman / HIM: top: French Connection / shorts: Gap / shoes: Jack Purcell

One of the many things I love about the hubs is that he takes me to places he knows I'll want to take photos of (and in!). The wall behind us was part of a large mural in midtown. Great spot for engagement or any kind of love photos!

The whole wall was super cool. We love finding cool graffiti art.

weekend casual | happy december

Our December has certainly started off with a bang.

One of our dear friends who moved to London about 6 years ago invited us to spend a late Thanksgiving dinner with his family. Besides seeing him of course, the big draw was that he opened up his wine cellar and generously shared his delicious wine. Nothing compares to the Silver Oak!


And yesterday we helped celebrate the birthday of a new dear friend. P&S are the coolest couple and we are glad to have gotten to know them better this year.

And while December is here in spirit, the weather tells you other wise. Both days have had highs in the upper 80s. Global warming, anyone?

And I mistakenly got caught up with watching The Walking Dead and had a difficult time falling asleep last night, so no yoga for me this morning. Oh well, stuff happens.

weekend casual | something new

top&jeans: Gap / shoes: Sam Edelman / sunnies: Dsquared / necklace: gift'd
I am not wearing anything new, but I am posing in a new backdrop (our pool area, should have thought of this a long time ago!) and posting at a new time (PM instead of AM). Minor things, really.


I have actually worn these jeans a multitude of times but haven't photographed every.single.outfit. as they all tend to look similar. I like that these are a bit different than regular blue jeans and they are uber comfortable.


One new thing for today, though: eyelashes! I did these at the end of last year and while I don't like maintaining them, having them for a few months is always fun.

weekend casual | stripes, please (and some accountability)

dress: Gap / shoes: Sam Edelman / sunnies: Dsquared / bag: Marc by MarcJacobs
Shopping seems to occur the most for me during the changing of the seasons. Down here in Texas, when stores are bringing out fall sweaters and boots, the temperatures are still in the 90s so I am not so inclined to by a sweater. Conversely, summer items end up going on sale and I love a good deal, like this dress, which was on sale with an additional 40% off.


Insanely out-of-control closet
That said, even though I think of myself as a good bargain hunter, my closet is so full I really don't need another dress. And since moving into our new place, I have been really bad about sticking to my 1-in-2-out rule. I am writing this now so I can keep myself accountable to you, dear reader. Please keep me to it!

sister (and hubby) style

her: top: Mango for JCP / skirt: from Maine / shoes: 9West
me: dress: Old Navy / shoes: Sam Edelman
These days I rarely see my sis without the boys and not in a tee and shorts so I like to capture moments when she is dressed up. We attended a ballet young professional happy hour with her. She cleans up nicely, although the iPhone is notorious for taking blurry photos in lower lighting.

The hubs is as cute as ever as well

Traveling in comfort

dress: Old Navy / cardi: Anthro / shoes: Sam Edelman / earring: gift'd

I wore this outfit no less than 3 times on our vacation: the day we left, to see Legally Blonde the play and the day we returned. It is comfy enough to sit for hours on end on the airplane but chic enough to go directly from the plane to wherever we needed to go. I am not a fan of wearing track suits a la Juicy Couture on the plane.

What do you wear to be comfortable when traveling?

Summer floral

I am bit brain dead as I just arrived home from working in Dallas. I thought I had scheduled this post, but apparently not 


top: J. Crew / shorts: Loft / shoes: Sam Edelman

I have a closet full of floral prints but my go-to for the summer are these shorts. They are cute, comfy and can be worn with virtually everything in my closet. A win-win! {And notice how I added a bit of neon in my new sandals!}
