Busy in Pink- Work/Business Outfit

by adminupdated on June 28, 2018December 8, 2016

December has finally reached Houston, and it’s time to rock anything other than summer dresses! These past few weeks have consisted of nonstop labor, and I’ve been incredibly inspired to incorporate more color into my work outfits that don’t include red or green (don’t worry, Christmas outfits will be coming soon!). For now, I wanted …

Five years in this city, and it still surprises me Five years in this city, and it still surprises me every day. 🌆 

New York took a girl from Houston, Texas and gave her a whole new life - friends who became family, sidewalks that became memories, a skyline I never get tired of looking up at. 

Here’s to the version of me who took the leap, and everything this city taught her along the way.

Full reflection is up on the blog now at www.reesarei.com, link in bio! 📖✨

Surprised my husband with a Michelin star birthday Surprised my husband with a Michelin star birthday dinner…in a subway station 😭 @noksunyc ✨ Nōksu (pronounced “NOHK-soo”) is hidden behind an unmarked door at the Herald Square subway entrance in Koreatown, and it might be the most unique dining experience in NYC. Multi-course Korean tasting menu, incredible presentation, and flavors we’re still thinking about. 🍽️💫

📍49 W 32nd St, New York, NY 10001 (Herald Square subway station entrance)
💰 Tasting menu runs approx. $225-245 per person (excludes tax + gratuity)
📅 Reservations required, book on Resy…entry code is sent the day-of!

In honor of the Knicks parade happening today 🧡💙 In honor of the Knicks parade happening today 🧡💙 

I had to share this special moment✨This city has a way of making you feel like you belong, and watching the Knicks win felt like one of those full-circle New York moments. I came here a Texas girl who didn’t know a single thing about basketball, and somehow this team converted me into a fan for life 🏀 @nyknicks

Summer is HERE and I cannot believe how fast this Summer is HERE and I cannot believe how fast this season is flying 🌸 My girls and I kicked off the season with a whimsical-themed picnic: macarons, a dreamy pink cake, fruit salad, all the snacks, and my favorite people by my side. Honestly, the universe really said this is how summer begins and I am not complaining one bit 🧺🌷 

There may or may not be a life update coming soon but for now just know that this day was everything and more ✨ Here’s to long sunny days, good food, and even better company ☀️ 

Shoutout to @lydi.lsn @nunuhomestudio @progress07 @carissacristobal @kpamulya @thealiceli @anniehua for making this pretty picnic party come to light ☀️

I’ve been wearing @fankaofficial compression set on my runs lately as I prep for my next race event, and honestly…it’s a game changer. The body sculpting and compression tech actually makes you feel supported and held in all the right places while you’re moving. 

Running to Roosevelt Island in this all-pink set felt like a whole vibe. If you’re looking for activewear that works as hard as you do, Fanka is it!
