An Outfit of the Day & De-Cluttering My Life. De-Clutter with Me, Dear Readers

Lately I've been feeling the need to de-clutter my life. My goal this week is to start with our bathroom.  I'm going to get rid of (and possibly donate to a woman's shelter) unopened products, things I'll never use etc.  I just have so much STUFF...hair products, lotions (I don't even USE lotion) etc. I just need it gone!Since I've been in house-mode lately, I've been thinking about all of the

Versa Spa Tanning Review & OOTD: The Giraffe Dress, Round 2

It's amazing how a spray tan and a great blow-out can make you feel awesome. I know I was whining yesterday about feeling "blah" but today is a different story. I felt fab today!  I think the spray tan turned out great. I like the Versa Spa system. Though I got mine through Groupon, the regular price is about $40-$45 per session, which I think is quite high and for that price I'd rather get

Finally Back! With Some OOTD's & More!

Where have I been?  All over the place.  Between co-hosting a baby shower last weekend, doing two blog sales and having my sister-in-law in town (oh, yeah, and putting together a big press conference at work) I've just been slammed and didn't have the time (or energy) to post.But I'm back today...and although I'm exhausted, I certainly didn't let my outfit show it!  I purposefully chose bright,

OOTD (Tuesday): Zara Striped Dress (Love)

Are you a shopping bag hoarder? I am. It's actually the only thing I "collect" or "hoard." Otherwise, I like to throw away almost anything that creates clutter (or recycle it, if possible!)My shopping bag obsession worked in my favor this week as I've used them to package all of the items for my blog sale. Each order has its own little bag with the person's name on it. I knew these would come in

OOTD: Black Zara Dress & Blog Sale Update

OMG ya'll!!! I just spent an hour taking pics of my blog sale clothes and I'm about to collapse! My feet hurt from wearing heels all day and I think I'm coming down with something. I felt really "off" this morning...just low energy, nauseous, hot...now I feel a sore throat coming on...that can't be good, right? I am praying it's not going to turn into something full-fledged.THANK YOU to all of

Victoria Beckham Goes Long & Outfit of the Day: Basic Black

I have her book, titled "That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and

OOTD: Giraffe City

I don't know that I've ever considered a giraffe print for clothing, but this dress changed my mind. Its pretty coral-colored animal spots have won me over.Some of you might remember from my weekend shopping post that I got this dress at LOFT for 40% off plus another 15$ off. I always feel even more awesome when I wear something I saved a significant amount of money on!Dress- LOFT (buy it here)

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

Eyeliner Rave: L'Oreal for the Waterline, HIP Jelly Gloss & Some OOTDs

A week or so ago, I told you lovely ladies about my trip to Walgreens which resulted in the purchase of L'Oreals Extra Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner and L'Oreal's HIP Jelly Balm in "plush."Well ladies, I am here to report that both products are absolutely wonderful, with the eyeliner being a standout product. I've been using the eyeliner on my waterline since the day I got it. But today my

An Outfit of the Day Post...Times Five

I have missed a few days of blogging because I've had post-work events to go to and because I'm like death warmed over right now. I'm coming down with something and combined with back-to-back evening events, I haven't had much time or energy to write a post. I have taken pictures of my OOTD's though, so I'm going to share those here:Sweater- White House, Black Market; Skirt-Forever 21; Heels-

Review: Redken Guts 10 Volumizing Foam, OOTD & Back to Black Liner

Today I decided to try out my Redken Guts 10 Volumizing Foam Spray. As you all know, I LOVE mousse. I use mousse every single time I blow-out my hair so I was skeptical about working with a spray foam.After washing and towel-drying my hair, I brushed out my hair with a paddle brush (carefully) making sure not to pull too much. Then I applied the Redken Guts 10 spray foam to my roots all over my

OOTD: Seeing Stripes & My First Bikram Yoga Class

I'm blogging so late in the evening tonight because I just got back from Bikram Yoga and ate some dinner. The 90 minute classes definitely take a huge chunk out of your night.  I decided to try doing 10 sessions in 30 days, which is what the studio recommends for the most benefits.  Bikram Yoga is difficult. The moves are intense...it makes you realize that you're not quite as flexible as you

Requested: My Daily EyeMakeUp & An OOTD

This is a much-requested post so I'm so happy I finally remembered to bring my camera into the bathroom with me where I get ready in the morning.This is my daily "eye makeup" routine, step by step.  My first step is to apply MAC's studio finish concealer on my lids, and then powder my entire face with MAC's Studio Fix foundation (a powder.) I didn't show this step. I love using concealer on my

Best Dress: Club Monaco

Today I wore one of my favorite dresses of all time. I actually own it in both white (which I got first) and black because I love it so much.It's so simple and can be worn so many different ways. The versatility is really the beauty of this dress. It is from Club Monaco and I believe it cost about $170 or so (I had bought it for a job interview I had in NYC so I decided to splurge.) I got the

Simon Fashion Now Wrap-Up (Picture-Heavy)

My best friend and I were lucky to score amazing seats to Simon Fashion Now at the Houston Galleria (our friend who works at VERSACE invited us as his guests to the show.) We actually got seats this year in the VIP section and swag bags (gotta love em'!)After the show we enjoyed some of the evening's after parties.Here's what I wore:Top- D'Agaci; Skirt- Ann Taylor; Shoes- Paris Hiltonand makeup:

OOTD- Wearing Navy & Staying on Track

I always watch (or rather listen) to the Today Show when I get ready for work every morning.I wake up at 7 or 7:15 a.m., turn on my TV, turn the volume way up and listen to the latest news as I shower, style my hair and apply my makeup (it makes me feel like I'm starting my day knowing the top headlines...plus, I feel totally scared when I'm alone in a completely quiet house.)In between Today
