20 Trendy Shoes For Spring
Hi there, ladies – hope you had a great weekend! The past couple of days were jam packed (but very good!) on my end…! I had a big event in Dallas (a day of activities and brunch sponsored by Who What Wear, Palm Breeze and My Domaine) that I co-hosted with Ashley from Sugar and Cloth yesterday…Y’all…she is SO fabulous!! It was so refreshing to meet such a down to earth and humble – and very successful – blogger (honestly, that’s a rarity these days it seems – thus, it was seriously wonderful and made the day extremely enjoyable and a lot of fun). Her boyfriend Jeremy is her photographer and equally as nice and funny, that duo is crazy talented and just overall a really cool couple. We all just hit it off upon meeting, it was so much fun! My mom made the drive from Austin to Dallas with me (aren’t mom’s the best? Always so thoughtful!!) and we left at 5am to get to the event with enough time for me to spend about 20 minutes in a gas station restroom (hey, gotta work with what you can while road tripping!) on the way there to do my hair/makeup – ha! Always keepin’ it classy over here! 😉 We showed up with a few minutes to spare and then everything just fell into place and worked out beautifully for the event, it was a lovely time and I am so grateful to have met everyone who came out for the day to enjoy it! Right after we wrapped up, my mom and I were back on the road to Austin…seriously, she is a GEM for being so involved in my blogging life (…and volunteering to wake up at 4am just to drive with me…), I adore her like crazy and appreciate her company so much!

True story: it was a torrential downpour when I shot this look…Can you tell?! Ohh that hair is a hawwwt mess! (There’s the Texas accent comin’ in strong with that one.. 😉 ). Last weekend I went to brunch with Veronica (one of my bestie’s who also happens to agree to take my blog photos and I appreciate and love her for it!!!) and after a lovely little coffee/mimosa/stuff-ourselves-silly date on the cutest patio at Hillside Farmacy, we decided to quickly snap some photos while we were out! But alas, midway through this “shoot,” it started crazy storming. Thus, we sat in Veronica’s car (she just got a super awesome Jeep that is about 3x the size of my ‘ol Versa & it has a moonroof (..sold!), so it’s always the obvious pick when deciding who’s car to drive!) to stay dry for a bit and watch the radar, then as soon as it cleared up for 30 seconds, we’d run out and go at it again, ha! Anyhoo, this is basically the outcome of a cute outfit combined with excessive rain and humidity…!
Hey there! How is your week going? We’re nearly to the weekend (YAY!) which means I can finally relax for a minute and hopefully hibernate inside (..apparently Austin is supposed to get some very rainy weather…which I’ll happily take if that means lounging in my pajamas for more than a socially acceptable amount of time..! 😉 Oh and a movie/cozy cuddle sesh with Blake doesn’t sound so bad, either!). Sooo.. y’all, tomorrow is my LAST DAY at work before hitting the blogging world full time…AH! Not going to lie, today after I left the office I definitely got emotional in my car (and called my mom to talk it out, obvs haha) just thinking of how wonderful the past year and a half has been…today I had multiple people come up to me and tell me how proud they were of me for creating this space and pursuing what I love to do..and that just hit me really hard – in a good way, of course! Just SO sweet and thoughtful and so incredible to hear from people I really respect and admire. However, as happy-sad as I am to leave a workplace I truly enjoy, I’m pretty darn excited to wake up on Monday morning and know the day is all to myself to do what I love most of all…let’s just say the anticipation for that day (and that feeling) is kind of killing me, ha! Let the countdown begin! 😉
