it's all about the accessories...

 It's seems like summer is slowly creeping up on me, however this week has been not too shabby.  I've been able to have my windows open, which H loves because he can smell the air and creep on everyone that walks by, and it's always so nice to go to sleep with the poison allergy air filling the room.  You sleep like a baby and then wake up sounding like an 80 year old who smoked 2 packs a day and itchy...stupid Texas.

But as the warmer air comes, so do the bad hair days.  Now when I took these pics it was super humid and gross out and thankfully I used to have a hair accessory line so I have a closet full of hundreds of hair pretties, and honestly they make bad hair days so much better.  And because I haven't worn one in awhile it made me miss rockin' my mrd's so they're definitely going to come back into rotation, but they are just a great way to look super adorbs even though you have boob sweat and are just wanting to lay in a bed of ice cubes.  

So as I mentally prep for it to get a good 30 degrees hotter, I'm going to enjoy the "cool" weather that I have now and maybe make some new mrd's for when the devil sun decides to stay for good.  I hope you guys have a fab friday and an amazing weekend!!!

Boerne Handmade Market Giveaway...


Happy Hump Day Pretties!  So if you've been following me for awhile then you know last Nov I attended the Boerne Handmade Market for the first time

happy birthday henri...

Happy Monday pretties!  Not only was yesterday Rex Manning Day...which as I mentioned in my insta stories if you don't know what that is then just stop reading this blog right now...but it was also Henri's 6th bday!!  So to be fair when we adopted H, he was already a year and a half old and they weren't really sure when he was actually born so this is his "official" bday aka the day we made up as his real bday and celebrate him!

And we had a lovely day!  It was sunny but nice and cool so we took several walks, he got lots of pressies, and ate everything from french fries to pizza to cake...we go big on birthday's!  And we also did one of his other fave things...blog pics.  No joke he loves taking pics...it's a little random but I'm not mad because the only thing that makes a fashion pic better is a fashion pic with a pup!  And he got to model off the newest addition bandana addition to Camden Lane available tonight!!

friday florals...

This has been the slowest, fastest week ever.  Like every day at work time just would not move...like I swear 14 hours went by and it was really 2 minutes.  And then when I got home it was like oh hello it's already 11 time for bed.  Why does this happen...ugh.  But, 

thermal tie ups...

Is it fall yet?  I swear, the warmer it gets in SA, the crabbier I get.  And while everyone else is still getting snow, I have to deal with 90 degree days...which for those of you in the snow I'm sure you're thinking

camo, and whales, and palm leaves, oh my...

 Happy Monday loves!  I hope you guys all had a great Easter Sunday!  H and I spent it with my fam, bc of course J had to work, but we still had a fun day!  And we got to watch Jesus Christ Superstar and it was pretty much the most amazing thing ever!  Musical theatre just has my heart!!  

And you know what else has my heart...Henri Oliver!!  You know it, I know it, H knows it, and he is loving all of the new Camden Lane bandanas in the shop!  A lot of you have been asking for more "boy" bandanas...and bc H loves rockin' every look from florals, to pink, to black skulls, I forget that some fur parents like things a little more black and white...or I guess blue and pink...so I made some more "boy" bandanas...that honestly can be worn by anyone...boy or girl, fur baby or human baby, I don't care...just do you!!  And don't forget that when you purchase a CL bandana you are helping save lives so whether your dog likes wearing pink or plaid or camo make sure and shop till you drop!!

four year old fashion...

 So as I'm writing this blog post, I'm getting super distracted because

classic in black and white...

My mom always says that if she could wear black pants and a white button down shirt every day she would...

sunday at the symphony...

 Well Monday...you certainly came super fast this time around, but it's ok because I had a lovely weekend!  Saturday was a day of shopping and then snuggling with H after the stressful week that I had

my night with dashboard confessional...

It all started with a Camden Lane tee...well actually it started about 16 years ago... 

handsome henri...

 Happy hump day pretties!  Instead of a fashion post today, I'm sharing some of the newest Camden Lane bandanas modeled by the most perfect dog you've ever seen, my fur baby, Henri Oliver.  I know I've said this a million times before, but 

sunday with my sister...

So last week I worked way more than usual since I'm taking off a day this week to go see Dashboard Confessional, so yesterday was technically my only day off.  And since my baby sister is in town we were going to spend the day at the zoo...until we got there and apparently everyone and their mother, and grandmother, and second cousins best friend's aunt decided that they also thought it was a good day to go the zoo...so after driving around trying to find parking we had to ditch the zoo and take my sister to my fave place...the pearl!  

Yes, the same pearl I wrote about last monday because it's literally just the best...and my future home...so get used to reading all about it!  Since we got there early it was still cloudy and cool so it was perfect weather for walking around and people watching!  And perfect for some blog pics!!

And then J got home early from work and we got to have an impromptu date night which literally never happens.  Honestly with his schedule I've barely seen him the past two weeks so it was a really nice surprise!  I hope this means that the rest of the week will be full of happy surprises and all good things.

pretty and powerful


Being a girl is awesome...and it's hard...really hard.  It's hard to not being taken seriously.  It's hard to second guess what you're going to wear so you don't get the "wrong" kind of attention.  It's hard to be successful without someone assuming that you had help.  It's hard to use your voice and speak your truth without someone saying you're being a bitch.  It's hard to take pride in how you present yourself without being accused of being vain and selfish.  It's hard to fight back without someone saying that you're making shit up.  

And in this crazy world that we live in, where being a girl kind of makes you lesser than, it's hard to feel like things are going to change.  It's hard to keep standing tall.  It's hard to hear others say that you'll never be good enough.   It's hard to see other girls so broken down.  And it's hard to stay silent.

Because you know what guys...

I don't give a flock...

Are you ever just so over it that you literally give zero f*cks?  I'm about at that point right now...and it's not so much even things that are going on in my own life, but it's everyone surrounding me that is pretty much driving me crazy.  Like I'm actually about to lose my mind.  It's just so frustrating 

saturday at the farmers market...

 Does anyone else feel cheated that it's already Monday AND we lost an hour this weekend?  I mean so not fair!  It was however a lovely Saturday...well at least

shake it off...

Hello Friday!!  The vibes today are wild and carefree, but honestly that's so far from what I've been feeling lately.  As many of you know, my word of the year is...fearless.  Except the older I get, the more I worry about shit...and I feel like ever since I moved to Texas I have actual anxiety issues that I never had before...and it sucks.  I don't like feeling anxious, and I don't like stressing over stupid things...yet I do get anxious and I do stress over stupid things, which makes me more stressed and anxious...ugh so annoying.  

And now I'm noticing that my stress is making H stressed, which breaks my heart.  Sooooo...it's time to get back on track.  To remember that life is short, so I shouldn't be worried about the little things and I should be a little more wild.  To just shake it off, and have random dance parties...even if it's just with H and I, and to laugh at myself for being worried about things that are totally out of my control.   And if I get too crazy I can always blame it on the moon right?

So next time life gets hard, I'm going to remember to be fearless and be a little more like the moon.  Because although she might not always show her entire self she always rises every night to shine bright!!
