Hi Lovelies!
You know, I was very self conscious about posting this outfit. It was hanging in my closet for a week and a half before I actually put it on and took the camera out. I think it was because of the tight fitting dress, I didn’t feel 100% comfortable showing it all off like that. Lol. Well, here’s to stepping out of my comfort zone! This outfit makes me feel very Austin, the chambray and boots definitely give it a little bit of a hipster vibe. It is also super comfy and I LOVE comfy. I got the dress at H&M for $10, which I just couldn’t pass up. I also got it in teal which I’m sure will show up later on:)

Dress: H&M (they only have prints online)

Hi Lovelies!
I am the type of person who doesn’t like to be myself. Even if Wes is in the other room working on something and I am watching TV, it’s just nice to have someone there, it feels less lonely. So, when he bought a plane ticket to Michigan to see his friends for 5 days, I was less than excited to spend those 5 days at home, alone.
Luckily for me my parents decided that they needed to see my uncle’s new farm that same weekend! They came down late Friday night and stayed Saturday night after our adventure to the farm and left very early Sunday morning. This left me with Thursday night, most of Friday night, Sunday, and Monday all to myself. The first night, I will admit, I was lonely. Sophie and I cuddled up and watched Harry Potter in bed. Every creaky noise I heard freaked me out and I slept with the TV on all night. I did not like it. Friday and Saturday night my parents were here with me so I didn’t feel so alone. But, by late Sunday night I had kind of settled in to the quiet. I may have even learned a little bit about myself…maybe being alone wasn’t nearly as bad as I had imagined.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I am SO glad I have a husband. It’s nice to have someone to come home to after a hard days work and to have someone to cuddle up with to watch a movie. It’s nice to fall asleep beside the one you love…but I did enjoy a little alone time. As much as I thought I hated it, it can actually be a little bit nice. I read, I watched what I wanted to on TV, I went to sleep when I wanted to, I listened to my country music and I listened to it loudly…I got to have a little me time. I even took some blog pictures of myself (see above)….I kind of had the single girl life for a couple of days.
I guess the moral of my story is that being alone can seem scary, but I think that every once in a while it is good for you. I had a chance to really think about things and do things that I like, but don’t always do when there are people there. I felt “free as a bird”, if you will. (See how I tied that in there? That whole bird thing? Like the shirt….(PS: I also wore this shirt here in an entirely different way….)
Well, as free as I might have felt, I am still SO glad Wes came home last night. It’s nice to have another person around…Are you the type who always has to be around someone or do you enjoy your alone time?
Until tomorrow…

Hi Lovelies!
Hope you all had wonderful weekends! My parents came down from Dallas this weekend and we went to a little town between Austin and Houston to see the farm my uncle bought! He also just got a sweet little puppy, her name is Ayla. She is 7 weeks old and is already bigger than Sophie who is 3! She should be around 130lbs when she is full grown! She is one of the cutest little furballs ever and so soft!
Ayla just plopped right down in the middle of the water bowl the doggies were all drinking out of.
She was a little bit scared when we first got there and hid under the truck for a few minutes until she got used to us.
This is me falling in love with her. Thank goodness Sophie was there to keep me in check so that I didn’t try to steal her.
The next door neighbors have 2 beautiful horses that we got to pet. I have to say, I am a little afraid of horses, but they were so gentle.
We fed the piggies while we were there. They were so funny, they would squeal and get all excited about the food.
Sophie loved the farm. She did get a little hot, but her heat was relieved when she accidentally fell into the pig water. Gross….we had to put her in a barrel of water to wash her off and give her a big bath when we got home.
On the way home we stopped in Round Top TX. We really want to come back here in the spring when they have antiques week and find some cool antiques and crafts for our houses! These flowers were beautiful and I had to get a picture for inspiration when we have our own house.
When we got back to Austin, Mom and Dad took me to Z’ Tejas for dinner. It was so good, I was definitely recommend it!
That last picture is a detailed look at the dress I wore to the farm and dinner! I L-O-V-E this dress. It is so comfortable and it has this amazing beading at the top. I got it at Rue 21 a while back, but they always have similar things there. The best part is that you would think it was expensive with all those beads, but I think I spent around $20 on it!
Overall, it was a really fun weekend and it was great to see my parents again. Wes has been in Michigan since Thursday visiting friends and his Mom, so it was nice to have visitors:)
Until tomorrow!

Hi Lovelies!
This dress just makes me want to twirl. Unfortunately, I look possessed when I twirl and try to get photos of it. Lol, so you are left with these lovely pictures of me in the regular old poses. You do get that gem down there by the bottom of me looking all serious today though! Anyways, on to the real post…last night Wes and I went on a date for our anniversary since we didn’t get to spend Saturday together alone. We went to this cute little Italian restaurant and it was spectacular! Below is the outfit I wore:) I love this dress…I actually wore it to my best friend’s rehearsal dinner last year as well. I’m pretty sure that I have mentioned about a million times how much I love coral and here I go again proving it.
My Outfit Details:
Dress: Jessica Simpson
Shoes: DSW
Bracelet: Forever 21
Earrings: Charming Charlie
I really wish that I had bows like these on ALL of my shoes. Bows just make everything better. I also wish I had more things to wear this dress to! I feel as though it is a little too dressy for most more casual occasions. Anyone out there have any good ideas on how to dress this baby down a bit so that I can wear it more often?
Until tomorrow…
