Just a short post from this past Sunday. I had completely forgotten that I had taken these pictures until now! The weather fluctuated SO much that day. It felt like the sun was never out long enough to get a good shot and not one where the day would look gloomy and sad.

I've currently been obsessed with everything bring and neon and pastel and PINK! SO unlike me, but you know what they say: opposites attract :-)

Hope you all have an amazing weekend! (Yes, I'm starting it early)

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.

Giving Thanks

So this was my Thanksgiving Day outfit. It was quite a long, long day that day. The weather was actually bearable that day and my parents in law have such a pretty garden growing in their back yard that I decided to make it my backdrop. These leave were all over the grass while I was taking pictures so I decided to incorporate them into the shoot. I think a real detailed drawing of this kind of leaf would look so pretty as a tattoo. BUT, that's just me. I really dig expression through art. What do you all think?

Wedding Daze

I recently attended my friend/co-worker Carey's wedding. It was amazingly beautiful! Everything was so classic and simply breathtaking! After all of the planning for months & months, it was so awesome to see it all come together. John and I had a great time eating the delicious food that was served (& cake!) , having yummy drinks (prickly pear margaritas) and exploring what is Laguna Gloria. I was able to catch the bride in her "sprint" across the venue after the ceremony for a quick photo. She looked so beautiful! 

My camera, of course, was blinking "low battery" since the moment I turned it on during the ceremony, because silly me, forgot to charge it. These were some of the shots I was able to get of the night before it gave out.

I don't know how I feel about this whole time change situation. I'm at a crossroads-on one hand, I love the weather the fact that it is no longer 100+ degrees everyday, but it sucks that the sun is setting so early now. I feel like I don't have enough day anymore! 

Anyway, I have been wearing my new Alexander Wang inspired bag by Furor Moda nonstop for the past week! I could not get enough of the original Alexander Wang one since I first laid eyes on it a few months back. All I could do was dream at the moment since I knew I couldn't afford it. Then, one day, I was browsing around on Dani's blog (Nanysklozet.blogspot.com) and she was sporting this bag! I immediately went to the website she listed for the bag and did not hesitate to purchase it. $62!!! Wow. Sometimes I have no self-control :-)

Dinner at Sago's in Austin Friday night. Dog Parks. Red shoes. Mexican food (or "regular" food for my husband and I haha).Micheladas & Mexican Martinis! Yum! I'm so very sleepy right now it's ridiculous. It has definitely been a longgggg week. I already can't wait for the weekend to arrive again. I have gotten myself a few new toys this past week. One of them is this amazing pair of red suede pumps! They're my new favorite shoe and they're pretty comfortable :)

This may be a late "Easter" outfit now that I am looking at it. The florals, the white cardigan, and the wedges all point to it. Oh well, considering I did nothing for Easter Sunday, I'd say I'm okay with it. This was actually my "date night" outfit for Friday night. The hubby and I ate Thai food and then had some drink at a Tex-Mex place here in Austin while listening to some Spanish music. We were exhausted at the end of the night, but it was fun over all.

 Yes, I do realize my that my pants are very "crotch-ful". They actually don't look like that in person, but the camera just emphasized that area for some reason. ANYWAY, sushi and shoes. That's what I did after work today. John and I ate sushi at a great Maki sushi place in Austin and then proceeded to go to Target to walk it off. I quickly discovered that Dolce Vita has a new shoe line for SS11 at Target. I could not pass that up-so I got myself some espadrilles. They're awesome. I can't wait to wear them. 

On another note, I have discovered yet another band I am truly intrigued by. They are called The Detroit Cobras and the girls voice is indeed captivating. They remind me of The Heartless Bastards because of the singers voice, but with a little more of a punch. Listen for yourself:

Helloooo freezing cold! Really, I don't even want to go to my car to grab that pair of flats I left there. I had to defrost in my apt. before I ran out to my porch to rush with the picture taking. Luckily, it wasn't THAT bad since the sun was hitting my skin in all the right places. Anyway, these last few pictures depict my Friday night: a warm fire going, and a stack of magazines that are way past overdue. I am seriously subscribed to too many of them. I was really stoked to see Michelle Williams on the cover of Marie Claire though. She was great in Blue Valentine! I'm saving that one for last. 

I hope it gets at least a little warmer tomorrow. I want to be able to leave my apt. not wearing like 3 layers of clothing. Gotta love winter!
