Les Petits Jours de L'hiver
It’s 70 degrees outside so I’m going to make this quick so I can hop on over to South Congress and walk around outside and eat some froyo! It’s my first time this winter (“winter”) to try the tights/shorts combo. I had previously done it with denim shorts which has a very different effect, but because I haven’t done laundry in almost a month this outfit came...

It’s my second day with bangs and I still loathe them. In the past when I’ve had bangs I typically liked them and felt like they framed my face, but this time around I’m really, really hating them. I think they make my face look round - I...

Chanel: Khaki Collection
{source}
Three military inspired colors, from left: Khaki Vert, Khaki Brun, and Khaki Rose. Unfortunately, none of them are just plain, classic khaki as I thought they might be. I love the subdued, earthy color palette, a pleasant change from the bright, almost neon shades that are on-trend currently. These shades premiered last...

Dark Days
Yesterday was the first day we saw sun in a week or so and while it was pleasant and worked wonders on my mood, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the glum, winter weather. It’s still a little chilly - in the 40s tonight - so I threw on a cardigan under this thin jacket. After work I went to the gym and now I’m curling up to watch a documentary and drink some topo chico....

5 Things for the New Week
I know it’s the beginning of the week and you, like me, are probably pretty bummed that the weekend is over and it’s back to the grind, but here are a few things to brighten your day/week!
Spring Nail Polish Color Palettes
I’m thrilled about this season’s nail polish colors! Nudes, tans and creams paired with orange lips. Lilacs and pale purples with smoky eyes. Classic...

Young Americans
Just got home from one of the most amazing brunches I’ve yet had in this city. Two words: lamb chorizo - out of control delicious. We picked Olivia because none of us had been there yet despite the fact that all we do is eat and this restaurant has won a slew of accolades since opening over a year ago, including Eater Austin’s “Restaurant of the Year” award.
Ana and I...

Favorite Things for This Week
No outfit post today! Instead I think I’m going to try out my “Favorite Things” feature on a weekly basis instead of having it pop up haphazardly (when I run out of ideas!). My goal is to do it every Monday as a way to record some of the things that are currently inspiring me and catching my eye, and hopefully, to inspire some of you!
First up - the commercial for the fall...

A year in retrospect. 2010.
A few of my favorite outfits from the past year. I particularly love May, June, July, September, October and November.
It’s funny how looking at a photo can flood your mind with memories of the day. Just an outfit can trigger so much. For example, October’s image comes from my trip to New York with Leslie to visit Garrett. This photo was taken by Garrett on the Manhattan end of the...

Friday morning a group of us went to brunch at Mi Madre’s and then spent much of the day gallivanting around town. Since we had some friends in (Garrett from NYC and Chassaing and Julia from L.A), it was quite a busy weekend!
After Mi Madre’s we went shopping at the Domain, which was unsuccessful, and on...
