favorite things :: september

It's that time again - favorite things! I think my most favorite thing about September so far is the cooler breeze blowing through Houston. The mornings are actually pleasant and the afternoons are not  unbearable anymore. (All I need now is to find a place that doesn't have mosquitos!) With cooler temps comes football, fall clothing and all of those pretty accessories. See below for my faves...

GP + JCrew = Perfection!! Bird print (love!!) blouse, skinny jeans and structured bag...
Fall 2012 Collection // via goop
          

Plum and Neutral nail polish // Essie Fall Collection 2012

Whimsical print blouses like the JCrew one on GP or this one from Zara...
The one from JCrew is $128 while this one is $49 // Zara

This is the BEST serum... my skin looks tight and glowing after
just one month // Mary Kay Serum+C

Ridiculously excited about Tory Burch Spring 2013 :: NY Fashion Week // Tory Burch

This cute little top is for Emma and Claire!
Again, whimsical is in // Nordstrom

Thank goodness for football. Go Ponies // SMU

I have LIVED in these jeans the past month... my new favorites!
Destroyed Always Skinny // Gap

Pumpkin Spice Lattes // Starbucks

This new product "Style Prep" by Aveda is amazing and I'm obsessed - use on damp hair to add volume
or spritz into dirty hair to revamp and restyle // Aveda

beach bound


Ahhh... one week until Daniel and I are on a plane to Seaside, Florida to celebrate our dear friend's (woo hoo, Emily!) wedding. I haven't been on a plane since 2009 when we went to Israel. I'm so looking forward to not being in the car for hours, being without children (sorry Emma and Claire) and getting a fun and relaxing vacation in with my man. Oh, added bonus - I'll be with some of my best friends from college. I seriously CANNOT WAIT!

I am sure many are packing bags this summer for a beach vacation, so I thought I'd share some of the things I'm taking with me. Must haves include:

1. Stripes :: shirts, dresses, etc...
2. Colored shorts
3. White skinnies
4. Straw :: tote, clutch, hat...
5. Statement jewelry
6. Tory Burch sandals
7. Bright nail polish
8. Sunscreen and Sunglasses
9. A good read: Daniel and I are reading, NERD ALERT!! - A Storm of Swords (3rd book in the Game of Thrones series) and lots of magazines (that I never have time to read!)
10. a swimsuit that covers post-baby flab... let's be honest, my stomach will never be the same.
11. flowy tops to dress up jeans and shorts
12. Daniel's guitar... he's playing in the wedding and I had a dream last night we forgot to pack it! I promise Emily we will bring it! :)

ONE dress :: THREE ways

As spring rolls along, so do many events I have to attend. Rather than spending money on several dresses, I have found one that I can get lots of good use out of over the next few months. 

I wore this orange-stripe dress from J.Crew for Easter. I paired them with my favorite Kendra Scott earrings and gold accessories. For the two weddings I have coming up, I'll wear the dress sans-sweater and add in turquoise jewelry. For the indoor wedding, I'll wear the bauble necklace and high heels. For the outdoor wedding, I'll wear earrings - with my hair up - and sandals. Are you "thrifty" like me and try to wear your dresses as many ways as possible?

j.crew wishlist

I have to say that after receiving the past two J.Crew catalogues ... and seeing their look-books online ... I'd be willing to sell my entire wardrobe for these pieces below. I am smitten' !! Every piece is versatile and can be mixed and matched. If only a) I had a disposable income and b) J.Crew wasn't so darn expensive! (Although, as a J.Crew customer for years, they make clothes extremely well and the price tag probably does fit.)

My favorite pieces:
