The Block is HAUTE

So excited about this one! When one door closes, another opens right? Swirl.com where I scored so many great deals on brands like American Apparel and Winter Kate, decided to merge with it’s parent company Daily Candy. As crushed as I was that my fave sale site was closing up shop, I actually clicked around [...]

Day 7. Studio Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones. I saw the commercial [way cool no?] for these the other day and fell in love. I don’t wear headphones much but if I did I would definitely want these….in orange duh! It’s no question. Orange is my favorite color and these headphones are the perfect shade. [...]

So that’s how the First Lady does it? Ballet flats? I was searching for a title for this post and then I stumbled upon a different picture of Michelle Obama and the president at the 34th annual Kennedy Center Honors last night. She is actually wearing flats. I love how the hair is pinned up, [...]

It’s official! The Baylor Bears have been invited to the Valero Alamo Bowl in San Antonio on December 29th. So obviously… Day 4.

I’m just wondering what took so long… Well the day has come. As of yesterday, the famous Barbie maker Mattel revealed a one-of-a-kind Nicki [...]

Continuing with my Christmas wish list. Can’t believe it’s December 2nd. Only 24 days until Christmas though! Here’s item number two on my list. Day 2. a pair [or two] of TOMS. I’ve had my eye on a TOMS for a little while now, just haven’t found a pair that really got me excited. Now [...]

I haven’t really thought about or made a Christmas list since high school. But over Thanksgiving break, my uncle asked the family what we wanted for Christmas. While no one really had an answer, I’ve been thinking about it and have come up with a list. Since there are 25 days until Christmas, I decided [...]

Already a winner before stepping on the red carpet at the 63rd annual Emmy Awards, Gwyneth Paltrow wows with her Emilio Pucci ensemble. The bare midriff look is a departure from her usually girly gowns but she pulls it off. The intricate beadwork and tulle accents really make this look outstanding. She accessorized with flawless [...]
