Hell Hath No Fury

What is goin' on y'all???  I don't have much news, other than the fact that it is hotter than Hades and there is no end in sight! This Texas heat is not conducive to, well, anything really.  I can't begin to describe to you folks who don't live here how friggin' hot a Texas summer can be.  We've had 12 days straight with temps over 100 and you cannot go outside without breaking into an instant sweat.  And as though that ain't enough, there are mosquitoes taking over life as we know it.  Inside, outside, in your car.  One actually woke me up on Saturday morning because I heard it buzzing in my ear!  Totally unacceptable. 

It's tough to dress for this weather, when quite frankly, I'd just assume walk around naked.  But no one wants to see that, so I have been trying my hardest to make the best of our sweet little summer of hell.  I also decided to start a workout regimen and eating plan right smack in the middle of all this heat, so that's been really enjoyable.  I'm on week 4, but I took these pics right before I started, so hopefully they can serve as inspiration as I make my way through the first 90 days.  This dress looks cute now, so I can't imagine how it looks when I'm ripped to shreds and look like Jessica Biel.

A Little Geometry

I hope everyone had a lovely Fourth of July!  Since we live in a new 'hood, we attended the parade early in the morning with some friends, complete with mimosas and some fabulous egg muffins.  After that, we spent the day in the pool with friends who live a couple blocks from us.  I was done and in bed at about 5pm and woke up 14 hours later. I was exhausted evidently!

The boys are playing golf today, so I plan to do some things around the house, work on some new posts, and sneak off to the mall for a few minutes.  I went to Francesca's last week when I traveled to College Station for business, and found several super cute pieces with a boutique feel.  I'm not sure if Francesca's is nationwide, but if it is, you should check it out.  Bright, colorful pieces, with great price tags is what I'm talking about.

One of the several items that I had piled up in my dressing room that made the cut was this cute geometric print skirt.  I love the way it fits, and although you can't see it, it has a cute zipper all the way down the back.  

Top: Ann Taylor Crepe Scallop Hem Top, sold old, similar
