Caught A Long Wind

Took some outside pics today.  Lovely outdoor space, but sadly we don't spend any time out there.  First it was west nile, now its too darn cold.

I've worn both this dress and this vest in previous posts, but never this combo!  Actually cut the sleeves off a denim jacket and made it an even cooler piece.  Did I mention I'm going to DIY and stud up various garments soon and re-start our etsy store.  Possibly starting next week.  We are only going to sell amazing pieces, not random blah.  I'm super excited about this!

She'll Come Back To Me

Hello-lio-lio few and far between.  I'm a bit of a nervous wreck today.  I start school tomorrow afternoon and I get so nervous in a large group of people.  Tomorrows class is a core Trig class, so its going to be packed, Im sure.  I guess I better start brushing my hair again.  It was nice not having to do that all summer.  I get to sleep in a bit tomorrow too. Gotta take honey to the doctor.  Then to work, followed by the above mentioned.  I can feel the bags below my eyes already enlarging and sagging ever so unattractively.

Double whammy on this post, since I haven't posted in an eternity.  The orange dress pics were taken early in the summer.  I have since indulged in breakfast, lunch, and dinner, consuming the most unhealthy, yet delicious of foods and cakes.  With that comes chipmunk cheeks and a non-existent waist.  The latter pictures are what I wore today.

So, many of you know, my happy little fam moved from Arlington to Dallas this last month.  Its been busy busy busy-ness, but I think we are finally close to finished unpacking.  I have alot of little projects and and keeping myself busy decorating and setting up.  I hope to include some of my before and after furniture pieces and maybe a house tour later on when I'm done.  It is so colorful and fun.  I look forward to going home everyday!

In these old apartmentt pictures, I am wearing lace dress from Charming Charlies.  Check out those beautiful bell sleeves.  Scored this puppy on sale of course.  In the new place, Im wearing a old Mad Caddies band T that I've had pretty much since high school and a striped skirt from TJ Maxx or Marshalls...Can't remember.  First time wearing it tho.  Ha!  The boots are from Guilt Group.  They are Sam Edelman.  Pretty rad, huh?

Today IS a New Day

Good afternoon everybody!  Today was a good day.  I am currently listening to all of City and Colour's albums, which are absolutely breathtaking.  They make me happy.  I have been melancholy lately, and have decided to change my mentality.  I control the way I feel and I refuse to let anybody else bring me down (just like the Christina Aguilera song).  As long as I can, I want to keep this thought process and want this positivity in my home and for others to feel it around me.  I just want happiness.  That is all.

Anywho, with Seb at his dad's and Nan leaving for work, I had the day all to myself.  I googled "quaint restaurants in Arlington" and didn't find any. Ha!  However, it did lead me to find these little shops right down the road.  Shoppes at BrownStone is like an antique store set up with different little vendors displaying their arts and craftiness and just all around cool stuff.  There was so much baby girl stuff.  I wanted to buy everything for all the little girls I knew, but with my move and trip to FL, had to hold back.  I did, however, find a store with the positive message I've been longing for lately and bought a little piggy bank at 30% off and car magnet reading "Tomorrow is another day".  Just because today was a tough one, doesn't mean tomorrow has to be.  There was cute little burlap bags with positive thoughts as well, but the pocketbook wouldn't allow the purchase either. :-/  Afterwards, I visited the Mexican restaurant there w/in the shops and had a super yummy meal.  It was actually pretty good for Tex Mex.








So, this is what I wore on my day out.  This dress is actually one of our Etsy items, but we haven't taken pictures to list it and I've always been drawn to the pretty dark green embroidery and little birds all over the dress.  I also recently purchased this great little bag at Target.  The colors are amazing and the pom poms are so sweet.  I've been wanting to pom pom everything lately.  Ask my sister.  Heh.
