It’s the weekend! Woo hoo! It’s time to go out and do something fun, late into the night, with the ladies! Dressing to go out with your friends is fun because you can get a little nuttier than usual. You can dress for a laugh, for conversation.  Here are some tips for an inspiring girl-date […]

Have you ever had a million questions about something and felt afraid to ask because you didn’t want to overwhelm or annoy the knowledgeable person? Well, that’s how I am with estheticians. I’m a skincare nerd, and ever since I was 22 have been putting at least 247 different products on my face every day. […]

Summertime, you really make things challenging. First, you make me not want to wear clothing. Second, the clothing you do make me want to wear requires customized undergarments. Third, everything remotely professional seems too heavy to wear when it’s 105 outside. What is a girl to do? Maybe move to Montana. Or invest in some […]

I’ve been habitually complaining about my desire to wear racer back tops this summer, and how I can’t deal with the strapless bra I thought it required in order to not have my bra straps showing. Since I have serious strapless bra issues (ie they make me short of breath and I hate them), I […]

I don’t know about you guys, but I am just about ready to lose my mind if I don’t get a vacation from this horrible heated dome called Texas. Alas, our annual family trip to Provincetown isn’t until the end of August! How was I to know that it would feel like August all summer […]

Ever since I bought these red jeans I have been dreaming of wearing them with blue. Well, the day I dreamed of finally arrived. I found this blouse at Buffalo Exchange and immediately knew it was destined for a fiery affair. Are you flummoxed by bright colors? If you’re new to pairing brights, start out […]

There are only a few pieces of clothing that I find intimidating to wear. One is a romper, another is anything backless, and the third is a silk top. I find silk frustrating because it wrinkles and I have a well-documented tendency to sweat. So, it is incredible that I am wearing a silk top […]

And here we have the second dress I found on last week’s vintage shopping trip! I was immediately drawn to the print and color of this 70’s wrap dress (from Feathers) because it’s so neutral–I could see an ocean of shoe possibilities in it’s rusty browns. The print is verging on hippie, but is tempered […]

I was lucky enough to find some amazing pieces last week on trips to Laced with Romance and Feathers vintage shops here in Austin. I was looking for some unique summer pieces and this was one of the dresses I found (at Laced with Romance). I couldn’t resist the perfect colors in the print: ochres […]

So last week it was miserably hot (I know, same old story) and I decided I wanted to wear as little as possible but still needed to look respectable. Somehow the innocent cream color of this short 60’s-shaped dress makes up for the lack of fabric. When I had this on, barely anything touched my […]
