Two-toned

Saturday was such a BEAUTIFUL day! Can you tell? I was definitely very comfy in my n ew sweater from Forever 21. I decided to go for a simple look and pair it with some jeans and my tan booties. We usually do a lot of "adventuring" on Saturdays around the city, which means A LOT of walking. John is always very comfy, being a guy and all and not ever knowing what it is like to walk 10 miles in a pair of pumps. I, on the other hand, need to think of a more comfortable (yet still cute) approach. I have to say, I think I did well.

So there is a reason for the title of my post. John and I had some friends over this past Saturday, and they brought their little girl. She is the most adorable child I have seen to date! Her name is Lola and she is 1 1/2. She quickly became comfortable with us and I could not seem to get away from her (or vice-versa). 

Anyway, I really have been trying to to make more posts, but with a full-time job, daily yoga, and Pinterest, I cannot seem to find the time. I know that seems like such a line, but I will really try to step it up! Also, I posted the last picture because of my hairstyle. I was so proud of myself for doing this! I have seen it on so many other girls and I've always wanted to try it. I found an awesome tutorial at GalMeetsGlam@blogspot.com . Check it out!

My Christmas sweater amped up a bit. Had a long long Christmas weekend in Dallas, TX, and now I'm exhausted (as usual). Ready for the new year! 

P.S. This song has been in my head probably since I attended the show a few months ago. Enjoy.

This outfit totally reminded me of Freddy Krueger but in a more "stylish" way, haha. I was certain of this when I walked out of the room and John goes, "Freddy Kreuger?", when I asked him what he thought of my outfit. "I like it , though," he said. Well me too! 

The pictures towards the bottom are from this past Wednesday when John and I went to the Chevelle concert at La Zona Rosa here in Austin. They have been one of my favorite bands for such a long time, that I definitely could not pass up the opportunity of seeing them live-even if I only got to sleep a few hours. Story of my life- and I love it.

P.S. I think I need some new black opaque tights. Any suggestions on where I can get some that are REALLY REALLY dark?

Also, this following video was actually take by me at the show, and then I uploaded it onto YouTube.com.

During Thanksgiving weekend, I accompanied my husband John on a business trip to Corpus Christi, TX. I have only been there one other time (22nd bday celebration thanks to some 0f my best friends), but I had never experienced it with freezing cold temperatures. While he was at his meeting early in the morning, I decided to get myself a latte and go and enjoy the beautiful beach (we had a beachfront view from our hotel!) It was so peaceful and serene. I then remembered that one of my all-time favorite artists has a memorial in made her honor when she died. Who other than Selena?! I remembered I was around 8 or 9 when tragedy struck. I was one of those little girls that had choreographed dances to ALL of her songs-ALL OF HER SONGS :-) I spent a good amount of time there-just reminiscing.

Now, isn't my jacket AH-mazing?! I actually bought it last Fall at Storets.com due to a very inspiring blogger Chiara from TheBlondeSalad.com.She looked so amazing sporting this baby that she totally convinced me. I was also very into the Balmain power shoulder look then. Still am actually :) This jacket totally fits like a glove and I am trying really hard not to wear it with everything I own. I made the mistake of "hiding" it in the back of my closet last year and totally forgot all about it once the cold weather came along. Not making that same mistake this year!

This is my new favorite necklace. AND sweater. It started to get really chilly this past weekend and I took FULL advantage of wearing one of my sweaters. Although it is the thinnest one I have, I still kept warm. Of course now, we are now back at 86 degrees F in Austin, but I guess it was good while it lasted...all of 1 day, haha. 

John and I went to go watch "Just in Time" with Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfreid on Friday and it was SO GOOD. That movie had me on the edge of my seat the entire time! I highly recommend it! We also had dinner at an Indian restaurant right before that so all I could smell all night was curry. Oh well-it was delicious.

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! :)

Yes, everything is bigger AND BETTER in Texas. We randomly found this box top in this field while we were taking pictures. It was so meant to be. 

So I guess by now you can tell how "different" my style can be. I can go from being girly and cutesy one day to grungy the next. I do have to say that I prefer the "grungy" side better. I feel like I'm more in my element. Maybe that's because I went through a punk phase back in high school or that fact that I am seriously infatuated by the ever so dreamy Kurt Cobain. I've gone on one of my tangents now-I apologize.

I hope you all like it! <3
