Wow! I didn’t realize that such a wonderful dress had been sitting in my closet all that time! Thanks for all the comments on my last post. I think it’s really neat when I find out what looks good on me based on the feedback from the blog. This dress is definitely going in the […]

Here’s a dress I haven’t worn since it was warm out. I thought I would try my hand at styling it for winter, or “winter” as I call it here in Austin because right now it’s oh, 58 degrees here. But anyways. I keep trying to figure out my 30 for 30 pieces and thinking […]

 Here I’m all 1960’s dog trainer and stuff. I love wearing navy and black together and you can’t stop me! I am feeling kind of under the weather today so I thought I would cheer myself with a little color. Penny’s rocking blue and green and brown, so she’s all over the place just like […]

  I’m crossing things off my list today and it feels so good.1. Registered for the Texas Style Council Conference in March. Super excited. Attempted to add badge. Failed.2. Researched plus-sized shopping options in Austin. Big win on that.3. Made some much-delayed, much needed phone calls. On my way to setting up some awesome events […]

 I was inspired by some weird version of Miami Vice today with the blazer and the cameraman told me I looked like a leprechaun and I think I look like a nerd. So I guess you guys win because I’m showing you this ridiculous outfit. Nothing like some velvet blazer/tuxedo pants/argyle socks combo, right? I […]

 Good evening! I am glad you all enjoyed my grungy post from yesterday! It seems I may have stumbled upon blog-gold, or blogold as it will henceforth be named, when I wore my best 90’s inspired look.  It’s funny how one giant cardigan can make such a difference. I really feel weird when I see […]

How to dress grunge, according to Laurel:1. Remember the 90’s. 2. Find favorite boots from high school. Sew them back together. Don’t think about why you saved them in that weird plastic bag that a comforter came in. Don’t think about the fact that you wore them with a slip that you bought at Value […]

 BRRRR! I wasn’t wearing a coat because I care so much about you, dear readers, that I wanted to share the same sweater you’ve seen me in a million times! Therefore you get stripes and more stripes AND some jumping. Just what the doctor ordered. I have decided to partake of the 30 for 30 […]

Today I decided to see if I could pull off looking sophisticated in these super casual-feeling jeans.  Did I pull it off? Not sure.  I still can’t shake the feeling that I’m late to class whenever I wear flared-leg jeans. Too nostalgic. Guess I’m gonna have to make new, more sophisticated memories in these jeans. […]

This is NOT a paid endorsement of these products. I wish (because they are expensive)! But I thought I would just go ahead and tell you guys all of my highly-researched and time-honored skin care secrets. I have been spending too much money on my face for some time now, and I tend to get […]
