Favorite Looks of the Week

Work has been crazy busy this week, and with Sasha in Austin for the University of Texas at Austin MBA in Houston Program’s (a mouth full?)  “intensive week,” looking at fashion blogs before going to bed has been my calming factor. I honestly could not narrow down the number of “favorite looks” – there were so many. In fact, Jennifer (of The Native Fox) had two – she is a real-life Barbie doll though.

I drove to Austin last night, and we’re going to spend the day at Mt. Bonnell and Town Lake. Cannot complain! Have a wonderful weekend, y’all.

Adding to the Blogroll

tumblr_mhslbh0UGw1qdxkdzo1_500_largeI read the same blogs every night (or at least on the days when I don’t crash into my pillow!). I watch zero TV every week, so these sites are my entertainment and inspiration. I love to read the following:

Fashion
Atlantic Pacific: Could Blair be any cooler? The answer is no.
Gal Meets Glam: Beautiful photos, beautiful clothes, beautiful blogger. The trifecta.
Could I Have That?: Samantha reminds me of what Lindsey Lohan could have been. Sigh.
The Pink Peonies: A J. Crew lover’s eye-candy. 
Karla’s Closet: I want Karla’s closet.

Lifestyle/Other
Cupcakes and Cashmere: Meeting Emily was such a cool moment. She’s my style hero.
Design Love Fest: I want to be this design-saavy so badly.
Sequins and Stripes: Liz might be the sweetest person I’ve never met.
Stripes and Sequins: Grace is so cool. I mean, so cool. And crafty to boot!
Buckets and Bunches: I’ve only met Chelsea once but I feel like we are still besties. 
vmac + cheese: Victoria exudes style and grace.
A Piece of Toast blog: These girls! This is a must-read.
Oh So Beautiful Paper: For the stationary obsessed.
Fourth Lake: My best friend/MOH just gets it. And finds amazing pictures.
The Beauty Department: I want to learn all of these tricks.

In my yearning to be among the beauty of NYFW, I was scouring the IFB Conference site and saw the list of speakers, many of whom I hadn’t heard of before. I immediately went to their sites and am tickled – new blogs to follow? Yes, please. I’m obviously way behind, but if you haven’t looked at these, you should.

Bathroom Countertop Decor

I’m decorating one room at a time (in an attempt to stay sane!). I finally purchased the entryway and dining room furniture this weekend – which was exhausting as I ran between Crate and Barrel, Restoration Hardware, Anthropologie, West Elm, Z Gallerie, The Container Store, and IKEA (a nightmare). I decided to focus on the half and guest bathrooms (which look like this) first, so I purchased the following items (as inspired by Emily Schuman and Samantha Hutchinson). I still need to buy a cute little basket, but have lots of good coffee table books to use!bathroom_counter1) Glass Melon Knobs from Anthopologie, 2) Voluspa Japonica Mini Candle from Anthropologie, 3) Barr-Co Soap Bar from Anthropologie, 4) Provence Perfume Bottles from Anthropologie, 5) Square Lacquer Tray from West Elm
