Outfits Lately

I haven't posted a ton of outfits lately, mostly because I've been recycling looks you've seen already, but I did pull some shots from my iPhone (some workwear and some casual/weekend wear).

Also, my year end review is this week and I have been spending a lot of time working on it these last few weeks and I haven't had the energy to think much about blogging when I get home (especially now that it gets darker sooner, it always makes me feel less motivated). Thank you for everyone's patience, I know I haven't been posting a lot lately.

I've been pretty much LIVING in my Lululemon stuff on weekends. It is SO comfy and perfect for running errands.  

So, here are some of my office looks lately: 





...and my weekend looks (my personal favorites!)





and an adorable nap time shot of our sweet Lulu <3 font="font">



Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend--- yay that tomorrow is Friday!

Taking an outfit from weekend to work can be as simple as switching up one piece.  I loved my Sunday brunch outfit so much that I decided to wear the same outfit to work this week, but instead of jeans, I paired it with a trusty pencil skirt.


weekend....


to work week:


 Blouse- GAP (buy it here)
Sweater- J.Crew (buy it here)
Skirt - J.Crew (buy in other colors)
Shoes- Nine West (buy them here)
Necklace- c/o Groopdealz


Also, how CUTE is Lulu?!

Sunday Snaps

Sundays tend to be lazy days for me, but today was full of cleaning. I have been on a cleaning/organization kick lately so I feverishly go through the house and clean and organize everything in my path.  

Now, I'm taking a break and relaxing before I hit the gym for a workout (as if cleaning vigorously wasn't enough!)


I love a nice, clean bathroom countertop.


My MacBook keyboard cover finally came in.  I'm a little disappointed because it's not made for the newest MacBook air model, so it's not as tight over the keys as I'd like it to be, but it will do for now. Better to protect the laptop keys, even if it's a little more difficult to type.  When the new ones come out, I'll get one that's a perfect fit. Mine is by KB Covers.



I also cleaned out my closet today, because believe it or not, it was a mess. Stuff all over the floor, everything out of order. Sometimes, it just gets that way when I don't take the time to keep it organized.

It still shocks me to see how much color and how many prints I have in my closet...



...and how color little color I have in my shoe collection:



Hello black, nude and brown. Ha.  I'd love to get a pair of leopard print heels and also polka dot heels. I love these, by Kate Spade, but don't want to pay that price.

I still have to organize some of my drawers and throw away some stuff that's too old and tattered to wear. Hopefully I'll have the energy to do that tonight. What I do know is that H and Lulu definitely don't have the energy to help. This is their typical Sunday routine. Birds of a feather:


As I mentioned on my Facebook page, I have a fun fall fashion feature coming up on CultureMap...here is a little preview:



Hope you're enjoying your weekend!

Sunday Snaps: The Workout That Never Happened

I had the laziest Sunday of all time. I got out of bed and then proceeded to lounge around until about 1PM when I realized I had late lunch plans with some of my blogging friends (hi Magen, Mishelle & Bethany!).  I got ready and even threw on my workout clothes so I could head to the gym after our late lunch for a good Sunday workout.

Unfortunately, my body had other plans and towards the end of our lunch I had started to feel like I was getting a migraine and it just got worse and worse and then the nausea kicked in.  I had to go grocery shopping because we had no fresh produce and needed snacks so I went to Kroger and snuck into the medication area and totally opened a bottle of migraine pills and washed the pill down with water from the water fountain there (filtered by my bobble, of course).

Then, I felt guilty and awkwardly explained the entire ordeal to the cashier who was checking me out. The entire time I was sneaking the meds I was picturing some loss prevention dude jumping out from behind me and I had this whole "I SHOP HERE EVERY WEEK I SWEAR" speech prepared. I even tried to look around for the cashier who always checks us out to see if he was there because he would remember me and vouch for me.  Yes people, this is how weird I am

I was pretty pleased with today's workout outfit (uh, even if said workout never happened).  If you're in Houston--the tank is from High Fashion Home---there is a boutique in the store and they have these amazing stretchy tanks for $12 a piece in every color of the rainbow. I am totally going back there for more because they are awesome (and long).


The tights are Lululemon wunder unders (with the embossed chevron print) and the jacket is also Lululemon- it's the define jacket in Paris Pink (no longer available, but they have a similar color called "pow pink")

One of my favorite things to do in August is to read the September issues of all of the magazines. In addition to my subscriptions, I also purchase the ones I don't get:



I used to subscribe to In Style and then I didn't re-subscribe but I think I will because it is one of my favorites. People Style Watch is also amazing because they have include a lot of items that come from popular retailers so it's a magazine that's "easy to shop."

It was fun to share what's in my fridge last week, so here are some things I bought this week, both in my fridge and my pantry. Excuse the lack of organization.



Among the newly purchased items: bread, strawberries, peaches, cherries, arugula, fresh basil, roasted tomatoes, mozzarella cheese ball, Chobani greek yogurt.


In my pantry- I got the low glycemic Dreamfileds pasta and pasta sauce and the rest if stuff we already had---beans, canned soups, teriyaki sauce, etc.



For snacks, I got Luna bars, Skinny Cow Heavenly Crisp bars in peanut butter---I buy a ton when they are on sale because they are pricey, walnuts (for salads), Teddy Ghrams, pistachios, etc.

Oh and before I go, someone wants to say HELLO:


HI.


Hope you had a great weekend!

Lace, Lilac & Lulu on a Friday

Though I haven't quite jumped on the peplum train yet, I do have one top, that, when belted, nearly fits the bill.

It's not quite the same look, but it's a nice change over having every top tucked in.  Perfect for a Friday at the office.


Lace top- Zara (similar, similar, really cute option)
Skirt- J.Crew (buy it here)
Belt- Express (buy it here)
Shoes- Ivanka Trump
Bag- Kate Spade (buy it here)


Hope everyone has a great weekend!
