Just a Touch

If Ihaven't disclosed this before here, I LOVE technology. I'm always wanting the latest gadget and am excited when something new comes out. Of course, I had to get an iPhone ASAP and since I've had it, we have been inseparable. I, actually, left it at home once and felt completely lost throughout the whole day. I check my email, surf the web, update my calendar, check the weather, seriously, this phone does everything.

My husband, who also has an iPhone, got me hooked on the iTunes App Store. I have quite a few pages on my phone loaded with handy apps. One of my favorites is Touch Closet by Bay Dynamics, Inc.

The application allows you to upload/take photos of items in your wardrobe and then categorize them by type of clothing/shoes/acc. You can also add color/brand/date info. While it takes a while to take pictures, I've started doing this everytime I've gone shopping or when I'm doing laundry and the clothes are already out. So far it has come in very handy when I'm shopping and trying to figure out if I have an item that coordinates with an item I want. You can also create outfits for future use. Plus, it has a feature to shop select retailers or add their clothing to your closet, too.

I love being able to access my closet even when I'm far from home, and the best part is the ability to log on to the TC website online and check out your wardrobe from there.

I have tried out other apps like this, and this is by far my fave. I cannot recommend this app enough, just because of how fun and functional it is, and best of all it's free!

BACK in BLACK

After a looooong hiatus from blogging and pretty much any internet use (!!!), I'm back. It's been a hectic couple of months for me and I've been under the weather all month (colds, bronchitis... all that good stuff!) Leave it to me to get sick during the summer. It's the worst. Most of my outfits lately were definitely not camera worthy, but finally, I'm beginning to feel 100% better! Yay! I'm excited to catch up on all my blog reading! And enjoy what is left of the summer. Here's my work look.

Dress: Target; Belt: vintage; bracelet: F21; shoes: Nine West

Have a great day!!!

Dreary day, Lace Top

blouse: Express; pants: NY&Co.; maryjanes: Nine West

Another dreary day in Texas with ominous clouds across the sky. Extremely humid which made for frizzy hair, and I haven't been feeling well lately. :(

I bought this top at Express. It's silk which I love and it has lace on the top and the bottom, very feminine. I wanted to wear light pants because I was tired of all the dark colors, so I found this pair of NY and Co. that I bought a while back. Unfortunately, they don't have pockets so I had to carry my iPhone with me all day. I have these Nine West suede maryjanes in several colors. Love them! I had a long beaded necklace on with this outfit but I took it off during lunch and forgot to put it back on. Hmmph!

Memorial Day

silk blouse: F21; skirt: Express; wedges: Steve Madden

I was having a bad hair day and make-up day, but I still really liked my outfit today. I was trying to find a way to wear red, white, and blue without being too bold. After trying on a couple of white blazers, I remembered I had this blouse and thought it went perfect with the skirt. The wedges kept my feet comfy after walking around all day.

I attended a touching Memorial Ceremony today honoring our brave soldiers. I also remembered my grandfather who was a war veteran. Thank you to all our troops for all that they do.

Lady Like

Wrap blouse: Express; slacks: NY&Co.; heels: Betsey Johnson; pearls: Gifted

There's something about wearing a set of pearls that just makes you feel very lady-like. I have this wrap shirt from Express in several colors. And these blue satin heels put a kick in my step. They have the cutest pink soles.

It was so humid today I had to put my hair in a bun to avoid the frizzies, since my beloved blue Chi flat iron died on me. The on/off switch just broke off. So sad! I'm using a huge old one from Sally's. It just doesn't have the same sleek effect, plus it takes forever to heat up. Guess I will be on the hunt for a new flat iron.

Flower Power

Skirt: Old Navy; blouse: Express; Shoes: Steve Madden; bracelet: F21

Sorry for not posting in a looooong time. I've been super busy. I'm trying to incorporate more prints into my wardrobe because I tend to go for solids. This skirt intrigued me and I thought the design on it was beautiful. Perfect for the warm weather!

I had to do a close-up of my bracelet because it has such a great whimsical appeal that it brightens my day looking at it. My hubby joked that it looks like a crystal ball. Too bad it doesn't really reveal the future!!

Mustard, Please!

Sweater, blouse, skirt: Express; heels: Nine West; jewelry- gifted

Wow, it's been a busy couple of weeks. No time for fashion for me! But hopefully, I will have a bit more time to relax and catch up on my fashion fun!

I've been dying to wear this ruffled skirt from Express for weeks, but wasn't sure what to wear it with. I've seen a lot of fashionistas wearing it with a green sweater a la Gwen's LAMB collection. Alas, I have no such sweater in my closet yet. But this cashmere cardigan in mustard seemed to suffice. Of course, I had the perfect yellow platform pumps that don't ever really see the light of day too much. Overall, I was pleased with my look today.
