Splash of Color.

 

 

 

 

The weather has been a little crazy this past week in Houston. It has been warm, but then some days it has been deceiving where you think it's hot and sunny and yet it's chilly. This outfit is the perfect put together look for most occasions. I am wearing a thin sheer top and blazer which works with the iffy climate. I am all about the neon's. Loving the green/ yellow tone to add a pop of color to black and white. I bought these glasses back in the fall during the Shecky's Beauty Night Out in downtown Houston. They are the Prada Baroque knockoff glasses that many celebs have been seen in including Kourtney Kardashian.

A gift from me to you.

Happy Thursday! Here is a little gift from me to you...the new H & M ad featuring David Beckham.

Winter Wonderland.

I hope everyone had a happy and healthy holiday! I was away for a few weeks visiting family in VA and NY. While back East we got a few small snow storms. I am not a huge fan of snow, but I was happy to play outside with my niece and to wake up to a white Christmas. I got a lot of nice clothes for Christmas...so hopefully I can start posting some outfit of the day posts :) Happy New Year- be safe!

Military Ball!

The other night we attended the bf's company ball. I got this fabulous dress from Kohl's (from the JLO collection). The dress was the perfect material made to flatter any figure. I just loved the contrast of black lace against the ivory. I didn't need a slip under it either, it is pretty thick material. The shoes are old, I have seriously had them for like 10 years and they have lasted me a LONG time haha. I love them. I can't even remember where I bought them way back when. I unfortunately only had my phone camera and IG pics. SO enjoy!

Greetings from TX.

It is already December! Wow. Time flies, yes? I have been busy with my photography business taking some holiday photos for some fabulous families. We fly back East to visit our own families in about a week and a half- can't believe it. In between shooting and editing, I have been working on our 2012 holiday photos/ card. Thankfully we took them (self portrait style) before Thanksgiving. After we were finished, my boyfriend suggested we shoot some ootd pics for my blog...so here they are :)

I get a lot of comments about my hair...well fortunately I have very healthy and shiney hair. I don't use any products on a day to day basis. My hair is baby fine and very thin. I don't have to ever straighten it with a brush or flat iron...it will dry naturally or with a blow dryer pin straight. I however, like my heair with a little beach wave or curl. I use a curling wand A LOT. It has been the only heating tool that keeps a curl in my hair more than 20 mins!

Anyway, my hair is pretty long (I never cut it!), but its super thin and I decided to add some volume to it with extensions. Of course most people get extensions for the length...well, they do add another inch to an inch and a half to my length, but they 100% add the volume and texture I often lack.

The extensions are real hair and very easy to take in and out. You can pretty much do whatever you do to your actual hair to them. I do not wear them everyday. For one, it is still HOT where I live and who wants to add more locks of hair to their head? I do wear them for various occasions and honestly unless I tell someone I have them in...no one ever notices.

I bought them two months ago and I dyed them to match my hair. It was annoying, to be honest. I don't reccomend doing it unless you have to. If you have any questions let me know!

South Padre Island.

So last month I went to SPI for the first time ever. I have been trying to go there for a weekend getaway for about two years now. There was always some reason why we couldn't go. Mostly because of a hurricane or tropical storm etc. WELL, thankfully I found a Living Social deal and we went for two nights. I loved it. It was the first time I have seen a beach here in Texas that reminded me of the East Coast. It was so relaxing and quiet too, since it was a few weeks after Labor Day. The weather was amazing, not too hot and not too cool. Only problem was that I forgot my beach bag and had to use my Marc Jacobs neon tote :)

WHAT I'M WEARING:

Maxi Dress: Cotton On

Sandals: Charlotte Russe
Fedora: Target

Tote: Marc by Marc Jacobs

 





Fall life.

Lately I have been super busy and fell off the blog wagon. So since I last blogged, I met my friends new pig in San Antonio, I went to the Fort Bend County Fair, saw Boys Like Girls perform at the House of Blues and I visited my family in New York!


I loved being home in New York with my family. I also was so excited to see the leaves changing colors and to go apple picking :)

I went to the House of Blues (Houston) for the first time. I really liked the venue and I loved seeing Boys Like Girls. Martin Johnson is gorgeous! I wish I had better photos of my outfit from that night. I might take some better quality pics soon and post a follow up...

The fair was nice, my favorite part was the petting zoo!

Our friends in San Antonio bought a tea cup pig and will be breeding them. Wilbur is so adorable. They also have a homeade wooden swing in their backyard...can you tell I want one?
