Fashion Friday: Edition I’m so happy about a long weekend

Diary, Fashion

This is going to be quick today because it's been a long week and I'm ready for bed. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. seeing stars zip up hoodie All I need right now is some cooler weather and this cute star hoodie. It's on sale for $24.99. 2. loft striped swingy sweater I love this striped sweater so much that I've already ordered it. I have big plans Read More

Catching up on life lately now that I looked up and it’s October

Another day

Well. I read something the other day (Don't ask me to quote a source because I cannot.) that said it really takes being six weeks into a new school year before it feels like a routine. And so I looked at my calendar and counted the weeks since school began and it was six weeks as of this past Friday. So that means I should be in a normal routine any day now. I can't wait for that to happen. Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s the end of a very long week

Diary, Fashion

Well, I don't know about you but I'm glad it's Friday. This week has lasted approximately 52 days. The good news is we had a little bit of a cool front come through on Wednesday which has made me feel like the time is near when I may actually have a reason to wear a sweater and boots. And that fills my heart with just a little bit of joy. Before anything else today, I wanted to show you Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition BTHO Alabama

Diary, Fashion

That's right. The Aggies have a big game this Saturday. 2:30 on CBS. We'll be playing Alabama. Maybe you've heard of them. They have a pretty good little football team. But I'm still in the throes of football optimism after seeing how close we played Clemson and I believe we can win. Or maybe I believe that we can keep it within two touchdowns. Either way. I'm adding this video for Read More

Five things on a Thursday

Another day, Diary

I keep meaning to write an actual post but life has just been a combination of busy and uneventful. But here are a few things I thought I'd share in case you're interested. 1. Mary Poppins Trailer I saw this when it was released earlier this week and it made me get teary. I can't even imagine when I actually see the whole movie. I'm sure it will be fine. Also, I adore Emily Blunt and Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it has been raining for approximately 800 days

Fashion

Here's the thing about San Antonio weather. We are either in a drought or it's flooding. There is no in between. Our weather has no chill or sense of decency. Currently, it has rained every day for approximately the last two weeks. On the upside, it's no longer so hot that you want to die. The air-conditioning in our house even occasionally shuts off. On the downside, I'm having a hard Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition my kind of town, Chicago is

Diary, Fashion

Well, as you read this I am most likely en route to Chicago. Or maybe I'm already in Chicago. I guess it depends on what time you're reading this post. Whatever the case, I'm spending the weekend in Chicago to be part of the Popcast Live and couldn't be more excited about it. You may also be aware that there is a football game of some importance to me that will be played on Saturday night at Read More
