In Blue
The weekend was just the sort of lazy, lounge-around style that I needed. HB, Gidget and I enjoyed a Sunday evening stroll, and I discovered just how truly comfortable my new Sperry boat shoes truly are. I used to own a pair that I got from a discount shoe store and they were super uncomfortable. Now I know why those were discounted!
I love the look of clean denim, but sometimes you're just in the mood for really, really, really ripped-up jeans. Am I right?
Erin Condren Life Planner Rose Gold Edition
Ever since I found out the Erin Condren Life Planner 2015-16 marked the launch of the new Rose Gold edition, I couldn't wait to get one in my hands. I'm a self-confessed planner junkie, and own many a Filofax, Erin Condren Life Planner, and Louis Vuitton Agenda MM (my current system).
I'm very pleased to know that the changes they brought to the 2015-2016 reflected what a lot of us were asking for, so click to find out more!
In Pink
There are some days when you just want to wear a little (or a lot of) pink. This top is half-lined (the top part, of course) and breezy, and I love the racerback. It's kind of made me realize, though, that it's time to start working on those arms, because damn. They're weak and floppy.
I still love my staple Topshop Jamie jeans, and these rose gold-capped espadrilles are the perfect slip-on shoe for summer.
May Favorites 2015
The month of May went by ever so quickly - and it's one of my favorites. My birthday was May 1, and my anniversary was May 12. Two of my most favoritest (I'm making that a word) people also celebrate their birthdays in May, so it really just feels like a month of celebrations.
HG Edit: The Perfect T-Shirt
As I've mentioned before, my style has evolved quite drastically from early days of this style & beauty blog. No longer am I interested in adding layers upon layers, stacking rings and bracelets galore. I'm more interested in quality, minimalism, and investing in pieces that will stand the test of time.
Because of this evolution and the fact that I realize I haven't shared this process with you yet, I've decided to start a capsule collection of posts that I'm calling the "HG Edit" (HG stands for Holy Grail).
Back To The Basics Of Love
There's a song that HB loves to sing in the car, called "Luckenbach, Texas", sung by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, and it's this song my husband was singing to me before we shot the photos of this casual Saturday outfit.
The Meaning Behind My Blog Name
One late afternoon in November of 2009, I purchased some web hosting space, installed the default template in Wordpress, opened up the domain name registrar page....and waited for inspiration to strike.
Terms of Endearment
When it comes to the history of this great city I live in, there are a few hidden gems. One of them happens to be the house where they filmed the classic Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson movie, Terms of Endearment. We are frequently in this area of town, so we decided to use the house as our backdrop for today's outfit.
