This is perhaps my most favorite of all gift guides to create, perhaps for obvious reasons. I basically get to scour the web searching for the things I love and own or covet insatiously (is that a word?). You’ll find a lot of grey, a lot of cozy cashmere, and earthy tones in this roundup this year. I think it’s because being postpartum I am basically living in a grey bathrobe (albeit one from Target so, ahem ahem, HB, if…
I cannot believe the holidays are already around the corner! It’s almost Thanksgiving, and for some people, that is good enough reason to start unpacking the holiday decor. Guilty as charged! I haven’t had much opportunity to film anything since Harper was born, but I do have ample hours to write blog posts while the little one is feeding or sleeping. I promise, when I’m up to it, I’ll film some baby/birth related videos! For now, I wanted to share…
A word on the Houston Floods As a native and proud Houstonian, I’ve been through hurricanes and severe weather all of my life. But I’ve never seen the devastation, and overwhelming catastrophe that has been brought by Hurricane Harvey. Almost exactly 9 Years ago, Hurricane Ike brought HB and I closer together than we could have ever have imagined as we weathered out that storm together at the beginning of our fledgling relationship, and now, all these years later, catastrophic…
The bump is getting larger and it’s getting harder to feel stylish when you’re starting to waddle a little bit. I honestly don’t know how the pro fashion bloggers do it. I mean, most of them are super tall and stick-thin, of which I am neither, but I just generally feel so slow and encumbered (is that the right word?). Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy as a clam, but adjusting to a new body type that has emerged within 20 short…
NARS are releasing a completely new product – a liquid lip that promises to be fully matte, lightweight, and comfortable to wear. I have the privilege, being in the industry, of getting to sample the full range myself ahead of its July 6th release, and I wanted to share my thoughts. If you want to opt-in to being the first to order these when they arrive, you can sign up on NARS’ website. First of all, the packaging is on…
URBAN DECAY dropped a bombshell on the beauty world not long ago by launching their newest “Naked” palette, part of the uber-popular Naked series of palettes, ironically, meant to be neutral or flesh-toned. It’s called the Urban Decay Naked HEAT palette, and it’s on fire. As the popularity of Naked 1 and 2 began to soar, however, the brand expanded the range to include much more than just flesh-toned pretties. Naked 3 was a rosey themed palette at the height…
We are so beyond over the moon to announce that baby Braly, coming November 2017, is a GIRL! HB definitely called it. For some reason I, along with most of our families, thought we were having a boy! Only a rare few believed it would be a girl! We are SO EXCITED. We’ve picked out a name that we’re 99% sure we’re going to stick with, but won’t reveal until the day she arrives. As my Pappa said, “PSS Co…
We are so overjoyed and ecstatic to bring a sister for Gidget into the Braly fold. We searched shelters for nearly a year to find Gidget the perfect playmate and companion, with no success. But when we stumbled upon this little girl, we immediately scooped her up and she hasn’t left our laps since. She’s sweet, funny, rambunctious, very playful, and has about a 75% success rate for potty training on the puppy pads–which is pretty good considering her age!…
