Austin City Limits-Pre & After Shows

So you would think that living in Austin, TX I would have been at the Austin City Limits Festival ALL weekend. Well, you'd be wrong, haha. I did, however,  make it to a Pre-Show at the W Hotel downtown on Thursday night to watch Katy B. from London perform. Her sound was a mix of hip-hop and electronic with a very cute accent and very powerful voice. On Friday night it was time for some "dupstep" so that meant Skrillex of course. His performance was AMAZING! My camera was so confused by the flashing lights and lasers. I did what I could.

So apparently my camera does whatever it wants, WHENEVER it wants. That ray of light kept coming in and out of the pictures, but I think it also might've been my husband moving around while he was taking them. 

ANYWAY, I love this new envelope clutch I ordered from Asos.com. I had actually just received it a few hours earlier in the mail and I couldn't wait to wear it. Literally. I ordered a couple of other things, but I'm waiting an appropriate amount of time to wear those. Maybe tomorrow? Haha :)

Later that night, we met up with a couple of friends downtown. I was so excited to see my friend Athena and her husband Luis in Austin! It was definitely quite a fun night!  

Oxford "Coma"

I've definitely have been in an "oxford coma". I decided to take my Oxfords out for another spin. I love the versatility of these shoes-they go with everything! I spent most of the weekend hanging out with my husband John and my brother-in-law Chris (like usual haha). After lunch on Sunday, we decided to go walk around The Arboretum (shopping center in Austin). We live right down the street from it and we needed to walk off the pound of food we had just eaten. I've always loved the view from this place. That picture above does not do it justice-it is seriously breathtaking. We ended up at this eccentric toy shop, Toy Joy. They have the funnest and weirdest toys and trinkets for everyone and anyone (as you can tell in some of the pictures above).

The weather in Austin has become bearable in the past few days. We are no longer in the 100+ degrees. I believe it actually dropped down to 86 degrees the other day! I haven't thought about it 'till now because of all of the fires that have happened lately.  Miles and miles of burnt houses and land. You  can see the smoke cloud from the center of the city. We DEFINITELY need some rain PRONTO!

Four day weekend

Four day weekend- couldn't ask for more.  I would say it was pretty relaxing, but I would be lying. It was A LOT of fun though, so that's good :)  Oh, and I got a new haircut! Yes, it's true, I got SO tired of my long hair that I decided to chop it off. I love it! It feels so light and it now takes about 10 minutes to style. It's GREAT! :) 

P.S. That last picture is a light fixture at Mother's Cafe and Garden, a vegetarian restaurant in Austin, TX. Yummy food!
