Busy Week!!

This week is crazy insane, so expect fewer posts. One of my MAJOR applications are due next Monday, so Im scrambling to get everything together for it. Sorry dolls. Say some prayers for me please. I need them. My days chalked full to the max, so I need the energy and strength to get through them. I also have to take TWO tests that go towards my application. and I need to do super good on them. So please think good thoughts for me.

In other news, me and boyfriend had a fabulous time on a date yesterday. We went to Tookies!! Which is an iconic burger joint in Seabrook. It was ruined by the hurricane a few years ago and it just reopened! Its amazing. Then we walked around Kemah taking goofy pictures. It was lovely. Unfortunately the pictures are on boyfriends camera.

Instead here are some random pictures from my phone from the last week:



Maroon 5

Boyfriend just bought tickets to the Maroon 5 concert that is in 2 weeks!!! IM SO EXCITED! Maroon 5 is one of my favorite bands (along with Death Cab for Cutie and Band of Skulls to name a few) and I've already seen them three times. The first time was way back in the day when they were opening for John Mayer! how crazy is that! This time they are comming with Train and Matt Nathansen. I love them. (Marry Me anyone??) So, naturally when I got the text from boyfriend that he got the tickets, I started thinking of the most important question, what to wear? This is what I want to wear, but since my big announcement in my last post, this will not be happening. But hopefully Ill be able to find something with the same feel in my closet. If you have any suggestions of what to wear to a concert that will be outdoors, at night in Houston TX with the heat and humidity, let me know!

What I Wish

Yesterday I decided to do something bold. I decided that I have lots of pretty clothes, and not enough time to wear them. I also came to the same realization that I do every two weeks: Im broke. So to kill to birds with one stone (METAPHOR! I would NEVER do that! comeon people!) I have decided that  I am not going to go shopping for a month. So boys and girls, that means that untill October 9th, (since I decided this yesterday) I will not buy ANYTHING - clarification- no clothes (new or used or online) no jewelry, no shoes, no purses. I am also going to try my hardest to not wear anything twice (except pants/shorts, because I dont have many of those). So I hope that you enjoy this little journey that I am taking. (PS- I totally plan on possibly buying something at Target on Tuesday- which Im not counting in my not buying rule. Its only for a limited time and Missoni. Missoni gets to break the rules.)

Also - Its September. In case you live under a rock. And in most places that means that the temperatures drop. I live in Texas. Its hot. Its still in the upper 90s.... It wont cool off here untill the  end of October maybe November. While would be awesome, except that I love cool weather! (NOT snowy icey weather) but cool, wear a sweater weather. And unfortunately we barely get that here. So untill then, here is what Im wishing I was able to wear 24/7. (This is also what I wish I could go buy! but because of the afor mentioned paragraph I cannot). Something comfy and easy, cuddled up on a couch reading a book and drinking a Pumpkin Spice Latte (Clarification: with pants on, and maybe boots. not in the fashion of Missus Emma Watson). Instead, Im still stuck with Iceed Coffees. Its still too dang hot for hot drinks. And that means that while most of you will post pictures of your adorable fall outfits, I will still be in summer gear, untill the temperatures cool down.

A Garden in Austin....

During our trip, we stopped at this gardening store.  My dad loves places like this. It was MANDATORY that we went. There was tons of cool stuff to put outside.

Like this chair:

                                                                      Or this swing :
(that we actually bought!) We had to drive the 4 hours home with this strapped to the roof of our Jeep!!!

What I wore:

Shirt: thrifted

Shorts: F21

Sunnies: F21

Shoes: Steve Madden

You may notice that this is similar to the outfit in my last post. Because it is. I wore this in the morning, got too hot and changed shirts.

I know. Im lazy.

Have a good friday!!

Austin Day One

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a great three day weekend celebrating Labor Day! As you can see I changed things up a bit on my blog. I picked a different title that I found more fitting, and a different profile picture. I chose 'Elephants and Feathers' because I love elephants and peacock feathers. I have a ton of jewelry, clothes, bags and things around my room with elephants and peacock feathers on them. So I hope you like it!

I spent my Labor Day weekend with my boyfriends family down at the beach. It was fantastic. Didnt do anything except sit around and relax!

I finally was able to download pictures on to my computer!! (yaaaaaaeeeee!!!) So here are my pictures from day one of my Austin Trip:

out of focus... but I still love this picture

Top: Old Navy; Short, Shoes, Earrings: F21; Belt: Target

Add a Little: Sneak Peak

Hello Lovelies,

How have we been?

Sorry I've been a little absent. School and work are taking turns kicking my butt. I've also had no computer and no one to take outfit pictures. What is a girl to do??

I finally got my pictures from my trip to Austin together, so expect a few posts on those!

Here are a few sneak peaks from the pictures on my phone:

The view from our hotel room: 

We did quite a bit of antique shopping. Im obssessed with peacocks:

At a vintage shop I was considering getting these shorts, but then decided that they were too expensive to buy:

This was in the lobby of the hotel:

Only in Texas....

I hope everyone has a fabulous Labor Day weekend!

XOXO
