Long and lean

sweater: J. Crew
pants: Gap, remix'd
shoes: Via Spiga, remix'd
earrings: Collingnon Designs, gift'd
bracelets: India, remix'd

This sweater was one of my purchases with the gift card I won from Lisa. Thanks again!


As much as I like skinny pants, nothing in the world can make a girl feel leaner than a good pair of long, slightly boot cut pants, especially if she has muscular thighs, like me. Gap still makes great fitting pants, even if everything else they has is a bit blah. I wish they would take a cue from J.Crew and make some brighter clothes!


And speaking of skinny pants (well, jeans in this case), I made the mistake of going into Anthro yesterday and tried on a pair of AG skinnies and JBrand skinnies and loved both.


Do I really need a pair of lilac AND pink jeans? Probably not. Do I want them? Of course. Decisions decisions!

A bit of color

I wore this to the most recent Project Runway party. It's my first attempt a real color blocking, although the orange top kind of looks pink here. I have been obsessed with Jil Sander's looks since seeing them this spring but have yet to attempt it myself. Baby steps, right?

Speaking of PR, this season looks super drama-filled. I love it. I also love the dress that won this week - I tried to find it on Amazon but they only had the maxi dress.


Every now and then something I buy from H&M is a real winner. This tee falls into that category.


And I am glad I finally paired these pants with something other than a neutral. More color remixing on the way!

Last day!

I didn't think I could do it, but I did. Only 5 items of clothing in 5 days. I guess this means I really shouldn't be doing any more shopping!

I'm think I may see a little family resemblance! The peanut is growing into his personality more everyday. I almost forgot to get back to work during lunch yesterday because we were having so much fun!

Shhhh!!!

I have probably been talking about it more than normal, but I blame my husband and sister who started my birthday celebration two weeks early with the surprise party!Today is the ACTUAL day that I turn a year older (I try not to think about this part too much! I am going to relish this last year of my 30s!)

As a birthday gift to myself, I stopped by Anthropologie yesterday to check out their sale and use my birthday discount! I tried on multiple items, but what I was really looking for were some summery tops for work. Some really great cardis were on sale but with the H-town heat and humidity, they just wouldn't be practical.



These are some of the items I tried on that came home with me :)

Can't wait to wear it all!

This morning, after a sweaty 5 mile run (and 8 miles for the hubs), I got to relax while the hubs prepared a yummy breakfast.

Yums! We have also been using some new pink placemats that my mother-in-law made for me - I adore them!

Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and I must be off to work in a few. I do plan on enjoying the rest of my day!

A rare event

I work 2 Saturdays each month, so I love months with 5 weekends, like this one, because then I have 2 Saturdays off in a row! I could get used to this!Top: J. Crew, remix'd

I am going to get my hair cut this morning. I think I am going to ask David, my stylist, to chop it even shorter. I really need a new summer 'do!

3 for 1

I've been feeling pink and black these days.This outfit for work yesterday was super comfy and I got lots of compliments on my shoes! I mean, how can pink shoes not make you smile :)!
After work, Joe and I celebrated a dear friend's birthday over cocktails and ceviche! Yum! This look is my homage to the popularity of clogs. Unfortunately the Chanel studded ones are way out of my price range, but these Via Spiga ones work for me! I got them last fall in NYC, so I guess I am a trendsetter!

Today I wanted to be even more comfy because the schedule looks like it could be pretty busy. I also try to keep Wednesdays and Fridays flats days because I practice yoga after work and wearing heels all day can tighten up my hamstrings too much.

And this last photo is just an extra for your viewing enjoyment. I just realized I have worn something from the Gap every day this week except Wednesday. I guess I am a gap kind of girl!

Still in recovery

I'm glad the holidays have fallen over the weekend this year. I have really enjoyed these long weekends off from work! Today was another relaxing day spent with family and friends and cupcakes!

I feel like I have been wearing too much pin lately so I decided to spice things up a bit with some turquoise blue. I have also been in love with cardis this past season, probably due to the influence of the many fashion blogs and flickr I have been following the past few months!
My wardrobe goal this month is to wear things that I think are too "special" more for everyday stuff. Life is too short not to look fabulous while living it!
