quote tuesday: do it

print via
one thing i've learned in life is to not be afraid to fail.  to not worry if the answer might be no or if you might get laughed at.  i love failing.  making mistakes and falling flat on your face is the best way to learn and grow.  i've also learned that if you really want something then you do what you need to to get it.  even if it takes forever and a day...sometimes you just need to keep trying and not take no for an answer.  and then sometimes, the stars align and all that falling on your face turns into a kiss on the check and thing start looking up.

now don't you want to know what i'm talking about...i'll fill you in soon:)  xoxo

my weekend in insta's

 how is it monday already??  my weekend went way to fast...probably because i was either working on bendel bands or laying in bed with a cracking face...seriously does anyone else have crazy sinuses that CRACK???  it's so messed up!  anyways i thought i would share some highlights of my weekend via instagram...and if you're not following me yet then you better get on it!  so i played free people model which is always a fun time!
 i also ate a lot of crap...including sweet tea and goldfish for breakfast one day...and then waffles with fried bananas the next...yum!!!

 i also contemplated getting bangs again...like i do every single fall...but instead decided to just chop off a couple inches from my hair...woot!

oh yeah...and i scored some awesome phillip lim bags at target.  i kinda wanted the boom sweatshirt but figured everyone and their mother (literally) was going to have it so i passed.  the good thing about fashion clueless san antonio is that even though i didn't get up at the crack of dawn there was still a lovely selection of goodies for me to shop through!  hooray!!

8 days

 oh hey...it's friday...and my 8th day of work in a row.  seriously no one should have to work that many days in a row...all i want to do is sleep.  but i do have the whole weekend off which will be so nice...especially because instead of sleeping i'll be working on a new order for Bendel's!  trust me...when Bendel's wants bands you don't need sleep.  how is this my life...eeeekkk!!!  love it!  oh...and this dress was like $6 at urban...it's ok...you can be jelly!


ohhhh and today is friday the 13th.  usually those are my lucky days, so fingers crossed for awesomeness...i'll keep you posted!

blooms & bows

 sometimes when i make new designs, i become obsessed with them, yet they don't really sell.  and as a designer it's hard to create something that you love only to realize that others really don't...which in the end is fine with me because that means more pretties to add to my personal stash...but at the core of mrd is big gorgeous blooms...they are my most fave pieces to make, best sellers at Henri Bendel, and they are so.much.fun.  honestly in this crazy world we live in, sometimes you just need to rock a big ass flower (or bow) on your head.

quote tuesday: feeling blah

via
morning lovlies!  so i was thinking since i have to do"quote tuesday" for one of my 27 jobs that i currently have, i would also start sharing some on the blog!  genius, i know...

so lately i've been feeling a little blah.  back home (and i know tx is my new home but i'm not ready to admit that yet, which may be part of my problem...eeekk) this was my fave time of year.  we all know i love fall so i'm not going to go on and on about it again.  and as much as i love having sunny days in fall/winter, my body...my soul...craves gloomy moody fall days.  it's days like those that allow me think, and stew, and figure out what my next move it.  

in tx, it is just hot.  and sunny.  and i'm sure you're rolling your eyes and are thinking omg stop complaining, but i feel like i'm going cray crazy.  the heat and the sunny skies are in a sense making me sad...i feel lazy and unmotivated and have no idea what to do next.  i can't even drink a pumpkin spice latte unless it's iced and that whole point of the PSL is get it scorching hot while you're walking outside in boots and a chunky sweater...ugh.  

i know moving to texas was the right thing to do at the time...i honestly would be lost without my family near me.  and for J it's been amazing for his career.  as for me, i'm having faith that texas will grow on me...and i know part of that happening is me letting it in.  until then, i'm going to trust that the next amazing thing is just around the corner.

ellie

miss me much?  seriously it's been one thing after the other ever since we moved.  i still have no car, but that's a story for another day...lets talk about my lame laptop with it's missing buttons and half the screen almost falling off.  i was on said laptop one night and tripped over the already fraying power cord and it broke...like for real...so there goes the laptop.  luckily my sis was looking to get a new computer so she sold me her macbook, at a special sister price, but that took like a week to get.  so i finally get back up and running and then i realized most of my recent pics are still on the old laptop so until i can borrow my mom's charger the blog might be a little sparse on pics.  

so now that you're all bored with tech talk, lets talk about my ELLIE DRESS!!!  i am obsessed with elephants aka ellie's.  everything i see that has an ellie, i want to buy...and i might actually do just that...shhhh don't tell!  so when i saw this dress and then realized it was literally like a little girl dress in big girl size (and we all know how i feel about that) i knew it had to be mine!  plus you could eat like an entire elephant and no one would know because it's so big and flowy and amazeballs!  






and looking at these pics (which were taken before we moved) makes me miss my long hair because i kinda got bored the other day and started chopping...and may have cut a little shorter than i wanted...oops!  don't worry it was only a few inches, but you know when you have long hair even a little trim seems like soooo much hair.  although by the time i get a car so i can drive to my rents house to have my amazing little bro take my outfit post pics, my hair will prob be long again...because that's how the whole car shopping situation has been going.  poop on that!  so until then, stay tuned for all kinda of random iphone pics that will be making a blog appearance...lucky you:)
