Weekend Shopping: (Thank God for AE's Boyfriend Shorts), Essie's Pink Parka & Homemade Cards

What a random post title, huh? So much happened today that I didn't quite know what to call this post, but I'll start at the beginning.I got to meet one of my LOVELY blog readers today.  She had bought several items from my blog sale and since she also lives in Houston we decided to meet at a local Starbucks.  Ilham is the most awesome girl.  I just clicked with her right away! She was so sweet (

More Weekend Shopping: Forever21, Bobbi Brown, Buckle, Old Navy

I just realized that my shopping ban can't truly go into effect because I have to buy a baby shower gift and a birthday gift for my best friend...but those don't technically count, right? Because I'm buying for other people. Sigh. I will continue to work to not shop for myself. That's the goal.EDIT- would you guys be interested in me having a blog sale? I've been going through my closet and I

Weekend Shopping: Zara & DSW

Happy Saturday lovely ladies! Before I start this post I want to say that I am going to announce the winner of the contest in a separate post so it's not confusing. So look out for that later today or early tomorrow.  As many of you read yesterday, it was raining and flooding so we figured we'd try to spend Saturday indoors.  I thought the mall would be an awesome indoor place in which to spend

Zara Semi-Annual Sale Finds & OOTDs (From Friday)

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!  Before I get into this post, I wanted to remind everyone about the $50 SEPHORA Giftcard Giveaway.

Motivation Mondays, OOTD & Weekend Shopping

I know I haven't done a "Motivation Mondays" post in a long time, partly because well, I've been seriously lacking motivation.It's a combination of things...stress, laziness, tiredness (probably a result of the stress.) I just haven't been feeling like my usual energetic, motivated self lately when it comes to working out.  I'm trying to get back on track...even if it's just one or two workouts a

Weekend Shoping: Things I Didn't Buy Today (& Some I Did)

Hello lovely ladies!  I went shopping today to pick up a bottle of OPI's "Alpine Snow" nail polish. I love the look of white opaque nails so I can't wait to try this formula (I already have "funny bunny" but it's too sheer.)First, I'll show the things I got:This pretty Love 21 floral print skirt from Forever21. I don't own a floral printed skirt so this one was fun...and at $17.50 I won't feel

Not So Good Day Ulta & VS Swim Rave!

Today I dragged my sick little self out of the house because I wanted to go to Ulta to redeem my $5 off coupons that I got several weeks ago.  When I got those coupons I was so excited because the girl at the cash register told me I can use all $20 worth of them in one purchase! I was like YESSS!!! $20 worth of stuff for free!You know how when things sound too good to be true, they usually are? 

Forever 21 Haul- Pretty Skirts and Dresses

Isn't it fun to have an excuse to shop? "It's our anniversary tomorrow," I said to my lovely hubby who agreed to tag along for the adventure.  It's one of our friend's birthdays tonight so I originally was going to the mall to get something for her (happy birthday, Lindsey!) but of course my path led me to Forever 21 and there was no turning back.I always says Forever 21 is a hit and miss store.

Weekend Shopping: Forever 21& Target

Candice and I started off our Saturday with a session at HardCore Pilates (which, once again, was hardcore). Then we headed to Starbucks (we are both obsessed with Skinny Vanilla Lattes) and headed to Rice Village to get pedicures. I usually do my own nails, but it's nice to have my toes done professionally every once in awhile. I don't like to go every week (or even every 2 weeks) but I'll go

Weekend Shopping: If You're Looking For Something, That's When You Won't Find It

I was so looking forward to my shopping trip today. I woke up, took an Excedrin and started my day with all of the hope in the world to find the perfect skirts for spring. And then it happened. It always happens when I set out to buy something specific. I don't ever end up finding what I'm looking for. It's like Murphy's Law. Every time I set out to get something I imagine in my head, I spend my
