The long drive home

Top: LuLus | Jacket: Pacsun [similar] | Leggings: ShopMCE | Booties: LuLus 

Last night we all celebrated Kyle's cousin and one of my best friends birthdays!

It was awesome because it was a surprise dinner and she was totally 100% surprised, 

which rarely happens with this family!

We went to the Republican Grille in the Woodlands,

and of course, everything was absolutely delicious. 

We ended up heading home pretty late for a week night and were both trying HARD to stay awake.

You know how you always see those things on facebook, 

"ask your husband or kids these questions and share and re post and blah blah!"

I never do those, because nobody probably cares. 

BUT, we had a long drive, and I was interested to see Kyle's answers..

So here we go! 

(Ladies, without prompting, ask your husband, boyfriend, or kids these questions and write down exactly what they say. The outcome can be hilarious)

Kyle's Responses:

What makes me happy? 

"Besides me? Food."

What makes me sad?

"Seeing animals get hurt" 

How tall am I?

"5'5"

What's my favorite thing to do?

"Cuddle Charley"

What do I do when you're not around?

"Who the (bleep) knows...NOT clean." ----RUDE

"Ummm...singing...*busts out in hysterical laughter*"

What makes you proud of me?

"Well shit a lot! Being your own boss."

What is your favorite food?

"How much time do I have??"

What is my favorite restaurant?

"Bluefish"

Where is my favorite place to visit?

"Mexico...or the hill Country?"

If I could go anywhere, where would it be?

"Bora Bora!...I was gonna say Greece but..Where would you rather go??"

Do you think you could live without me?

"Absolutely not"

How do I annoy you?

"Oh geez...I plead the 5th"

What is my favorite movie?

"I don't know"

Who is my celebrity crush?

"Eric Decker"

You get a phone call that I'm in trouble, who am I with?

"Krissa.... " (LOL)

Happy Hump Day, 

let me know if you ask your husband/boyfriend these questions!

Slip Dresses and Wedding Bells

First off, apologies for the blurry pics.

I've been having some issues with my camera the last few days :(

Dress: LuLus | Shoes: LuLus | Necklace: Kate Spade | Ear Rings: Pree Brulee

I can't tell y'all how excited I am that "slip dresses" are in.

They're comfy, beautiful and effortless and I am so in love with this trend right now.

I wore this little number to one of my best friends weddings this past Friday.

Everything about the wedding was stunning, Mary Beth looked absolutely breathtaking 

and I couldn't be happier for her and Mike! 

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture with the bride [major regrets] but I did get to 

dance the night away with her and help her celebrate her new role as "wife".

Hope y'alls Monday is a good one!

Model of the month

Top: ShopMCE | Flannel: Billabong[similar] | Jeans: LuLus | Shoes: OnlineShoes

If you follow my store on Instagram 

i'm sure you saw that I did a little photoshoot with one of my girlfriends recently!

and y'all...it kind of changed my life.

It's been really hard for me to grow my business Instagram, and really get the images that I want...

It's super hard to get the exact pictures that I want when i'm modeling my own clothes.

I always have a vision in mind -

What I want the picture to look like, how I want the clothes to lay on the body, 

how I want the model standing, and how I want the background to be...

But being the model & having a friend (who's NOT a photographer)

take the pictures makes that a pretty hard job.

My pictures always come out decent, but just not the vision I had in mind. 

I'm not at the point where I can hire a professional model, 

BUT I do have some pretty gorgeous friends.

The only problem is....

I'm only off on Mondays, and well the  majority of my friends work on Mondays.

However, the other week I convinced one of my friends to "work from home"

so she could model for me!

and guys...it was A W E S O M E.

I was able to direct and use my creativity to get the exact shots I wanted,

and I seriously loved every minute of it.

and my friend Liz had an awesome time as well.

I mean what girl wouldn't enjoy wearing cute clothes and being a model for a day?!

Which is how I came up with the idea of....

Having a different model every month.

A Model of the Month if you will.

So with all of that being said...

If any of you babes live in the Houston area and would be interested 

in being a model of the month (which is actually just a day or 2 of LOTS of picture taking)

let me know and we can talk details! 

Would love to meet some of you! 

Let's Talk Rompers -- and discount codes.

I used to think that I couldn't pull off rompers...

Until I put one on and realized it was the most comfortable thing in the world.

At that point I said "F it" and I've been wearing rompers regularly ever since. 

I mean it's basically a onesie that you can show off your legs in.

I'd say that's a win win situation.

Speaking of rompers, i'm having a 20% off sale on my website on all rompers.

Just use code "Romp20" at checkout!

PS: Do y'all notice anything different? hehehe

Friday Favors

Dress: ShopMCE | Boots: LuLus | Necklace: Hemline

Howdy y'all!

So, I have a favor to ask of all of you, a prayer request if you will.

Kyle and I have been on the hunt for a new home for quite a while now.

I'm commuting almost 4 hours a day and not only is it taking a toll on the bank account, 

but also on my sanity. 

-- Long story short --

My sweet Mamaw has been living in an assisted living facility for a while now, 

and her house is just kind of sitting there empty.

My parents came up with a genius idea that Kyle & I could live in it, 

pay for the utilities, save up for a house of our own - 

but also work on my Mamaws house while we're living in it, ya know - fix it up a bit 

and just take care of it for her while she's not able to live in it. 

Well, My Mamaw isn't quite herself lately so she didn't take that too well,

and felt as if we were trying to take her house from her.

But in reality it would just be the perfect situation and help all of us out.

It's closer to my job, it would help us save money for a home of our own, 

and we would fix her house up and keep it safe while she's away. 

Today after work i'm going to go visit her and possibly talk to her about it,

so if y'all could say a little prayer for me!

Just pray that if it's Gods will that we move there for a little while that my Mamaw 

will have an open mind and trust that we will take care of her home for her & 

know that we aren't trying to take it away from her.

I know there's power in prayer so hopefully we will have an answer today!

Y'all are the best, thanks for reading this little blog of mine.

Happy Friday!!!

Celebrating Fall in my favorite Summer Sandals

Well guys, it's October and it's still about 90 degrees here in Houston,

so this outfit is about as Fall as it's gonna get for now.

I'm DYING to whip out my infinity scarves and boots but it just aint happening for us yet. 

How was everyones weekend?!

Mine was great - 

I worked saturday then got to grab a late lunch & catch up with my sweet girlfriend.

Sunday was spent with Kyle and Charley, catching up on Netflix & eating lots of take out.

We're currently watching Blacklist and it's SO good!

Anyone else watching that right now?!

We are totally obsessed. 

I'm also watching Greys Anatomy [on my own] - Kyle just couldn't get into it.

I'm about to finish Season 3, and I cry hysterically just about every episode, UGH, it's just so good.

which reminds me, I need to go watch a few episodes....

Happy Monday y'all!!

Change, kind of

Tunic: ShopMCE | Leggings: similar | Wedges: similar

Guys, I love my job.

One of my favorite customers brought in her husband today 

and they told me they want to adopt me.

Ha!

But really, I would consider letting them - such an adorable little couple.

The lady is probably mid 70's and she has legit rainbow hair..talk about #goals.

Lately i've been all about changes. 

I usually hate change -- but currently i'm embracing the crap out of it.

Like - my blog is in the midst of a makeover, and i'm wanting my store to get one as well...

I kind of just want to change up everything in my life right now.

Anyone else go through these phases, or am I a maniac?

Kind of want to color my hair dark again...

Kind of want a sleeve of tattoos...

Kind of want to become vegan...

[LOL that'll never happen]

Kind of want to want to eat McDonalds for every meal...

Kind of want to start a new Netflix show...

Kind of want to watch Greys Anatomy every day for the rest of my life...

Ya feel me?

Well, I hope all of you enjoy your weekend!

I'll be working, per usual -- followed with some drinking -- per usual. 

Keep it real y'all. 

blah.

Okay y'all I almost didn't share this outfit because the pictures don't do it justice.
I could not look normal this day in photos for some reason, but whatever.

I'm ALL about buns lately.
Probably because I hate washing my hair -- but thats beside the point.
Buns are totally trendy right now so even though I may be dirty -- at least I look on trend?

SO I wear these jeans pretty regularly,
would y'all buy them if I got some similar in my store!?
I'm trying to bring in more jeans/leggings so let me know what y'all would be interested in!
Happy Thursday y'all!

We've almost made it to the weekend!

Happy Fall Y'all.

How cute is this aztec vest? 

I sold it in my shop last year and I'm REALLY hoping I can get more.

Also, these shoes are my all time Fall favs. 

I scored them a couple years ago at DSW...

Searched everywhere for this same pair but couldn't find them.

Here are some cute options though.

here. here. and here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it's officially Fall, and i'm over here sweating my ass off in a tank top.
That's what I get for living in Houston though right?
I've never been more ready for the cooler weather y'all.
I'm not going to lie - i'll admit i've been working a little too hard on my winter bod lately.
I MUST start working out again.
My 2 hour commute to work every day has really put a damper on my work out schedule.
And by that I mean - I have no work out schedule.
But hey, i'm still alive and healthy and all is good in my little world.
However, I do hope to bring some more fitness posts to y'all in the near future!

It's officially Friday and it's officially raining cats & dogs here.
Which i'm totally loving.
I've got a little day date with one of my besties after work tomorrow -
we are LONG overdue.
I'll be sure to fill y'all in on Monday about how exciting or not exciting my weekend was.
Ha!
Fingers crossed that it's at least a tad exciting.

Happy Friday!
