west bound and down: tejas

This past weekend we were in the lone star state for a somewhat last minute trip to Houston and Austin. Holy hot down there! Despite having to constantly wipe my sweaty upper lip [attractive, I know], we had an amazing time and I can't wait to plan my next visit to Austin. 

(A little taste of Houston)

(View of Congress Bridge from our hotel- We waited for a solid hour for the bats to fly out- never happend)

(Simply delicious)



(KKG what-what?!)

Tejas, I'll be back! xoxo

rolling balls!

For the first time ever, our bowling team, ROLLING BALLS! was in the running for some major cash money. [Was...] But, last night's playoff game concluded our season and although I'm sad to see it go, my liver is probably quite grateful. It was a very memorable year that no one will remember, but we did have a few good games in there. Check it:

We started off right with a little vino at my friend's amazing apartment. Just look at that view...

sarca

I don't know about you, but I'm all about those one-of-a-kind pieces that you simply can't find at your standard department stores (without everyone and their mom having it too). If the feeling is mutual, I'd like you to meet SARCA, an awesome boutique on Wabash, that carries unique, high-quality, unrivaled clothing and accessories. They carry DAMEN + DIVISION, a very bohemian and vintage, hand-made jewelry line  by Chicagoan Sonia Barrett Esler, unreal. I couldn't resist this Double Bali necklace, along with some other items cough-cough:

I also have my eye on this I Hate Camping necklace:

The staff are equally as fabulous as the inventory, so stop by SARCA xoxo

hump day: animal instincts

Feelin' frisky? Embrace your inner wild thing with some animal prints. I'm really diggin' this Equipment blouse and Naven blazer pairing.

A little more conservative for the office...

create some space

My apartment building is pretty old, however, the vintage moldings and French doors are right up my alley. I love to decorate, but with limited space, a girl’s gotta get creative. I like to take advantage of shelves and space savers wherever possible. They are a great way to achieve your desired look while maximizing your space.

I accented the vintage look/feel with ornate, wrought iron pieces that tie everything together.  

Enjoy xoxo
