Changes....

So I feel like this blog is going to be changing.  Firstly, I have done anything since December!!!  That is a really long time to have no new content at all.

Second, I don't know that I want to continue having the main content be fashion.  Although I love a good deal and find, it is not my true passion in life.  I'll still share what I find that is amazing but the focus is going to be shifting.

Third, I don't have all the time in the world to shop, take photos and then edit and post them.

So....  I'll be updating the blog soon with a new look.  The them will center more around running and fitness in general.

Running is my air.  It is what keeps me centered and focused and sane.  If I wasn't able to run I would be completely different person and one that I probably wouldn't like very much.

So since my last post, I've completed a half marathon in December 2017, a full marathon in January 2018 and I'm now looking at completing a 50k in December 2018 with my sister.

The half marathon that I completed was amazingly hard.  The weather was warm for Houston in December.  But it was amazing and it was a women's only half with amazing medals and mimosa at the finish line.

The full marathon that I completed was the Chevron Houston Marathon and was by far the most amazing race I've ever completed! It was also the hardest thing I've ever done.  The support pre-race was fantastic, as well as the expo the week/week-end before the race.

One race day, there was really only one section with no spectators and that made it very silent and hard to be along with your thoughts at the end.  The rest of the time, there were amazing posters, food, drinks, cheers and the best energy I've ever experienced.  I can't wait to do it again!  Here's to registration opening and that my calendar doesn't let me down :)


The 50k that I am aiming to do will take place in Houston and I'm hoping that my sister is fully on board and able to complete the entire thing with me.  She has issues with her hips so I don't know that a 50k is doable for her but I'm hoping that with training and a good run/walk interval set-up we can do it together.


So here's to good things happening on the horizon and new changes for this blog.

Business Trip

So, I have a business trip coming up in exactly one month.   I will be spending almost a week in beautiful Panama for the conference. Even though I won't have any free time to explore, shop or lounge on the beach I would still like for my look to breath in the tropical atmosphere while looking business professional and flawlessly put together.  Below are some of my favorite looks.  The prices for some of the items are much higher than I would be comfortable spending but believe they would get a lot of use in my work wardrobe. 1. STUDIO Tahari-Levine Co. ,  2. Gloria Vanderbilt ,  3. Fast & Effective ,  4. Public Image ,  5. The White House ,  6. For the People For a portion of the conference I will be on stage as the moderator and feel that it is very important to look my absolute best.  At that point in time I am representing the company I work for in front of about 200 people. What are your travel trips when you h...

Finished Chalkboard

So I am delayed in getting this posted but the chalkboard was a huge success and the kids were thrilled!  They have played on it a lot and have even invited their friends over to color on the chalkboard with them. So after I applied the layers of chalkboard paint and let them dry, I took a piece of chalk and laid it on its side and "colored" the chalkboard with it.  You are doing this according to the directions to help prime the surface for use. After you color it and let it chill, you then take a damp rag and wipe it off.  Sounds easy enough, right?  Well, it is!  I was nervous about  it not working because I may have some how missed a step along the way...I even googled the directions just in case!! I also added a really cute and perfectly, imperfect burlap boarder to the chalkboard.  I had initially planned out creating a wood boarder for it and painting it to match the colors from the playroom pillows but ultimately decided against it...

New House!

So the husband and I are in the middle of purchasing our 3rd house!!  We are very excited and are now just waiting for Friday so that we can close and get the keys. With the waiting game in full swing my mind is drifting to how we are going to furnish and style the house.  With three young kids (ages 5, 3, and 1) I need and want things that are resilient, easily washable yet beautiful and timeless. We purchased new furniture and curtains this summer when we moved into our apartment.  We only brought our bed and a couple of dressers from our previous house (lucky tenants didn't have to furnish much when they moved in).  The furniture is similar in color to the curtains but is not carried by Ashley Furniture anymore, although they do have some great options. For the game room upstairs that the kids will use all the time, I'm looking at Ikea for a great couch that is also a pull out bed for when we have guests over.   Sleeper with storage St...
