sweet dreams

It doesn’t happen often enough, but the weekend mornings I can sleep in (past 7:30am, that is) make me so extremely happy. It’s a rare occurrence when I wake up in the 9 o’clock hour or later. As much as I love to be productive all day long and it appears I’m destined for a life of constant organized chaos, I cherish the mornings I can sleep in more than one could possibly imagine. Of course there are nights I fall asleep in a t-shirt and yoga pants or shorts, but my ‘cuter’ pajamas I just love. I think cute pj’s are extremely underrated, and I think every girl needs to own more than one pair of these beauties. Waking up in a fabulous pair of pj’s will lead to that much better of a day. Here’s to Monday!

knock your socks off

October 3, 2012 by Julie 12:10 pm 6 Comments

Here’s the deal. We all either have our Fall and Winter boots ready to wear as soon as the weather allows it or we’re on the hunt for the most fabulous pair (or pairs) for the current and upcoming season. As much as I love love love boots, I’m also a sucker for the socks that go underneath (don’t make fun)! Just like you would pick out beautiful undergarments to go under your stunning dress, think of socks in the same way. Even if your boots are staying on the entire night, you still want to feel great from head to toe. And if your boots happen to come off wherever you are, your friends at the party will have fashionable socks to look at (and, at the least, a fun conversation starter). Take socks as you would take any garment or trend; wear what you’re comfortable with. If you don’t like lots of colors, stick with the neutrals and find a polka dot pair in basic colors. If prints are your thing, find an animal print or the classic argyle. If you’re all about color, then go for it. From polka dots to stripes to animal prints and florals, there are absolutely pretty socks for every personality (sans all white) to wear under those fantastic Fall boots.

summer chill

June 25, 2012 by Julie 1:05 pm Leave a Comment

I know summer is in full swing (and considering it was 102 degrees in Houston yesterday, believe me I’m aware), but it is still essential to have some lightweight sweaters and cardigans in your wardrobe this time of year. When the warm months hit, the A/C starts doing its job. While it may be scorching temperatures outside, restaurants, stores, and offices tend to feel like the north pole. With that being said, you never want to go out to dinner, shopping, or to your work place without such pieces of clothing. There have been one too many times where I walk in somewhere and am utterly freezing, so now I always try to remember to throw some sort of covering in my bag. I urge you to do the same. Some great lightweight options below.
