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

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

OOTD: Zara White Linen Dress & Soft Waves Using Hot Rollers

This morning, I used hot rollers for the first time in awhile. I use ones by Conair that I got at Target. You can buy similar ones here.Hot rollers are pretty easy to work with, though I find that they don't give me as much of a curl as using a curling iron does (probably because they don't get as hot as my Hot Tools curling iron- which I love, BTW.)This is how it turned out (kind of softer,

Weekend Shopping: Zara & Nordstroms (& My Hair Trim)

I woke up at 6:20 this morning (ick!). I tossed and turned until I officially got out of bed at about 8:40.  I hate when I can't sleep in on weekends, and that's been happening a lot lately. I got ready and headed to my hair appointment at Toni & Guy in the Galleria.  I was so nervous when I got there, but my best friend gets her hair done there all of the time and hers looks great so I tried to

OOTN: The Little Black Dress & I Hate Humidity

Last night we went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was hot and humid out all day, but by the evening time, the heat had come down a lot (but it was still crazy humid and my hair was a pouffy mess all night!) I thought last night was the perfect opportunity to wear my black dress from Zara from a haul a few weekends ago: Dress- Zara ($39.50); Shoes- Paris Hilton bow shoes (style: Senorita
