What I Wore: Red, White & Black (Day 1)

Sometimes I just wake up in the morning, with random ideas that have to be executed right away…or else. That is exactly what happened on Saturday morning. I was sitting in my bed thinking about what I would post on the blog this week, and for some reason I was really digging the idea of doing a red, white and black series. It might be cliche/overdone, but I still love this particular color combo. I always gravitate towards black and white pieces, so a pop of red usually makes an outfit for me.

I went through my closet and realized

Friends with Benefits: Good Idea or Terrible Idea?

Okay, so, I’m definitely not an “expert” on friends with benefits, but I’ve had a few situations in my life that have made me familiar with the subject.

Anyway, these kinds of relationships have an expiration date. According to some really prestigious websites (I forgot the name of it) that do experiments on these things, a friends with benefits situation is not supposed to last more than 3 months. Or else the dreaded happens, and someone will get feelings or whatever. Well as the rebel that I am, I refused to believe this, and proceeded to have an on and

What I Wore: $7.77 Shirt

MAJOR Fashion Tip: If you see a 40% off sign in the window of Gap, go in! That usually means you can get 40% off of sale items too. I normally don’t go for color, but when I saw this shirt, and it was less than $8, I couldn’t resist.

Even though, we had a brief stint of arctic temperatures the last few days, I am happy to report it is back to being in the 80s! Whoo!!

What I Ate: Super Donuts

Most people probably don’t think fashion and food go together, but in my world, they are my two greatest loves. Thus, I have decided that it makes sense to start doing a regular column called, “What I Ate”. When it comes to food, I am pretty much down for anything from gourmet to gross (I am never above Taco Bell or Dominos).

One of the greatest things about living in Austin is the food, so I am going to try to use these posts to highlight all the local spots. However, I can’t deny that I love a good meal

Why Do We All Still Want to Move to NYC?

When I was 17, I had my whole life planned out: I would go to college in New York, gallivant around the city during the week, and travel up to West Point on the weekends, where my high-school boy was spending the next five years of his life. In my perfect vision, I would show up in my fabulous Fall clothes, we would hang out, and then I would head back to my fabulous life in the city. It all seemed ideal, until it didn’t happen. I ended up going to college in Texas, and my boyfriend and I broke

Easy Hair Tips for a Busy Girl on a Budget

While I love fashion, beauty is not my thing at all. I have pretty much been wearing my hair and make up the same way since I was in middle school (probably time for an upgrade). Unlike most of my friends, I never really get that excited when Mac comes out with a wild new lip color or Dior introducing their latest and greatest in mascara technology. Confession: I buy most of my beauty products at Target or at the drugstore; going to Sephora is my version of torture.

Even though I have no patience to learn more

What I Wore: Leather!

There are things that I just love in life: iced coffee, my dog, Harry Styles, reality TV, spinning and leather clothing (not in some kinky S&M way). If I could afford it, I would own leather pants, skirts, shirts, gym shorts (yes, they exist!), overalls, etc…you get the picture. Right now, I have leather pants and skirts, and if it were cooler outside, I would wear them everyday.

In my opinion, nothing makes you look more chic and put together than leather. For all the haters that say leather is only for skinny people, fuck off.

I decided

What I Wore: It’s Cold Edition

Okay, so it is cold today for Austin standards: 54 degrees and it is supposed to get colder! Brrr. I love it when it gets cold because it is opportunity to bust out some of my old jackets.

I know you are probably tired of only looking at me, so Mallorie (my awesome and fashionable intern) also shows off her “cold” weather duds.

IMG_9762Awww I know, we are cute! Just ignore that my hair is doing something crazy…thanks, wind!

Easy, Healthy Dinner Recipe

As you saw before, my old NYC roommate, Alix Altit, made this awesome video with a healthy drink recipe. Now, she has created another video with a really great idea for an easy, healthy dinner…and I mean really easy…it takes her about 5 minutes to make the meal.

I know, I really hate cooking, mostly because I hate cleaning up the dishes after. I need more recipes like this in my life!

Here is a break down of her recipe:

Left over, plain roasted chicken with a spoonful of mustard or mayo Chopped up vegetables of any
