How-to: exercise in style

I love lululemon, but let's be honest- everything is pretty darn over priced. I can't help but to include some of my favorite lululemon gear because I am obsessed with it nonetheless, but here are a few more reasonably priced pieces that do the trick.

// beyond yoga (my second favorite, after lulu)

Needing It Now

I have been dying for a nice camera because I really want to start doing outfit posts, but I think it makes a huge difference when you use a DSLR instead of a point and shoot (learned all about them in my photojournalism class this semester!) Big investment, but I think it is worth it. Do you have any recommendations on which cameras are best?!

Watch this!

I took 3 fashion classes this semester (can't complain!) and I was surprised that in all of them, we watched this short film. After reviewing it for one of my finals, I thought that all you fashion bloggers and street-style-obsessors would really enjoy it.

Working hard or hardly working?

Definitely working hard! Been in the library as much as possible the past week or so... and I may or may not have been consuming multiple energy drinks a day... oh well. I'll be back as soon as finals are over!

Maximize It

I've loved the look of a maxi dress and skirt for the spring and summer for a while but I only own one- so it's time to invest in a few more. I like that you can throw on a tee to walk around town, or put on a nicer shirt, wedges and some jewelry and wear it out to dinner. And, if you get the right one, they can be so comfortable. You can also find maxis that can be worn as a dress and a skirt (see the white one below)- talk about a great two-for-one price!


(Can you tell I love Splendid's maxis?)

Needing It Now

Today is probably one of the nicest days in Dallas yet this year. So since it finally feels like spring, that means...

Rainy Day

Today is one of those stay-in-bed-all-day kind of days. It is pouring and thundering here in Dallas, and I am thankful I don't have class. The dreary weather inspired me to share some of my favorite rainy day accessories!


These short Hunter rain boots are a must have. I used to have the taller ones but they were so clunky that I almost tossed them out!

The Spring-Into-Summer Wedge

My all-time favorite shoe for the spring and summer is the wedge sandal. Although I have a few pairs in my closet, I'm always open to adding some more! The main reason I love them is because they are so versatile- I wear them with skinny jeans, flared jeans, dresses and skirts. Always a great go-to shoe. Here are a few of my favorites. As you can see, I really like Kate Spade's this season.

(A definite "Needing It Now")




(Florals for spring? No surprise here- but, I like these nonetheless... great addition to white jeans and a simple top)


(Love the cork)

Needing It Now

So when these "cut off" boots became a fad, I wasn't the biggest fan. But several months later, I am finally craving a pair! Is it too late?

Look I Love

I'll admit it- I have days when I spend hours looking at different blogs. And once I've gone through my routine of the many I have "bookmarked," I begin a search for new blogs to religiously scroll through (again, and again... and again). I recently came across this photo on a newly found blog that I loved, and I wanted to share it with you! I really like the look of distressed, cuffed jeans with this style of heel.

In My Bag: Easter Weekend

I'm headed to Austin today for a relaxing weekend by the pool! For short trips like this one, I always turn to my favorite Hervé Chapelier bag. It's the perfect size, and it comes in so many fun colors.

Kate Spade Loves Saturday

Kate Spade recently released her "Saturday" collection... and in the perfect time for spring. Known for her bright and bold colors, this is something her new line certainly does not lack. Whether it's the clothes, accessories or even home decor, I like to think of their colors and patterns as "mood-boosters." Here are a few of my favorites :)

Fab 5

No, I am not talking about the Fab 5 from "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy"... Am I the only one that remembers that show? Anyways- I'm talking about these Balenciaga rings that were spotted during Fashion Week 2013... they're so funky but in such a chic and hip way. Think you could pull them off? Despite their hefty price of $765, companies like ASOS and sites like Etsy help you work around that.

Needing It Now

I am currently in love with jean jackets. I don't think I have owned one since middle school, but they are definitely making a comeback. My favorite look for a jean jacket is when it is paired with white jeans, wedges, hoop earrings and a simple necklace. And unlike most jackets, you can definitely find these for under $100.

Your turn:






Want to splurge?

New (Beauty) Finds

When I put on my foundation the other morning, I realized that it was nowhere near the color of my skin now that I am actually tan. So it was time for a mini road trip. Before I got to Nordstrom, my plan was to buy my current foundation (Chanel perfection lumiere) in an appropriate shade. But as I walked in, the Trish McEvoy counter caught my eye because I have been told that her husband is a dermatologist- and my skin needs all the help it can get. I ended up taking a risk, and purchasing her tinted moisturizer. It feels so clean and natural!


Oh, and I also finally bought the Clarisonic "Mia" that I have been wanting for a while after hearing my friends rave about it. I love trying new products, so I am really excited about these purchases!



Your turn: Are there any beauty products you swear by?
