let love set you free

… I cannot stop listening to Maxwell… and I have yet to buy the new album, but this is only because it was 8.99 then when I go to buy it, the price jumps to 14.99, so basically I am being a cheapo… story of my life. except of course when it comes to food, lets talk about me spending $20 on lunch today!! but it was so good. The Daily Grill in the Galleria has some of the best fish and chips, it also has amazing mac and cheese. I am not a huge fan of the string fries so I sub-ed the “chips” for the amazing mac and cheese. anyways it was sooo good. not to mention the added malt vinegar and their not too mayonaissey tartar sauce… ahhh my mouth is watering. 

I can’t believe I just went on a rant about being cheap except when it comes to food. oh yeah and btw I have not forgotten that I need to like be healthy and work out and whatnot, I just really felt like treating myself today. and tomorrow cause me and B have a breakfast date at Baby Barnaby’s. Seriously one of the best breakfasts in Houston.  Apparently I am in a food mood. I like that, food mood. lol… I don’t know what’s up with me today. I think it might be that I have worked for 4 days in a row. I think 3 is my limit before I get too loopy. I am very much looking forward to my day off tomorrow, maybe mom and I will go and get a facial or something fun and girly like that… we have both been working hard and deserve a little pampering… which reminds me, Sept.12!! that’s when I leave to Playa del Carmen, a whole week of beachy bliss. I hope. If all fails at least our hotel should be entertaining. or at the very least comfy. Also, I just realized that I am going to Playa del Carmen and my mom’s middle name is Del Carmen. I have been wanting to get a tattoo in her honor, and I was considering her middle name since we both have the same first name and “Mom” is kind of lame. Suggestions? 

anyway, thats my rant for today. I leave you with a new yummy Maxwell video to enjoy

I really want to try these on, I have a feeling they would be pretty comfortable/versatile. Maybe a good investment piece.

 

Goodnight

Just a few things

I went to Barnes and Noble today, picked up Sept. Issue of Elle and Vogue, looked them through now planning to tear them up, I’m in a collage-y kind of mood, and cutting things up is a hobby of mine so yay! I also picked up an issue of Russh magazine from Australia, pretty good stuff, I recommend it.

Perusing through lookbook.nu and she caught my eye

I was interested in her top, and it turns out she makes these wonderful things and sells them on her Etsy!

Being sick…

is the worst…how is one supposed to stay hydrated if water grosses you out? I am about 70% better than I was 4 days ago when my body decided to turn against me…today will consist of trying to eat something substantial, being out of bed/couch for the majority of the day, picking up my Miss Van postcards I was having matted(yay!) and trying out that right boot one more time after being stretched a second time to see if I can get my foot in it. Hopefully I will succeed at all the things I set out to do today.

…also, please, if you own a denim mini skirt(especially, the kind with the frayed hem) PLEASE, do us all a favor, especially yourself and get rid of it donate it, cut it up and use it to patch up old jeans, I don’t know, get creative with it but don’t ever wear it again. It is not cute, not for a date, not with flip flops, uggs, especially not with heels. Find a new mini and make friends with it. But the denim mini is done.

You don’t want to look like this:

I knew I was on to something

Some time ago I went on a brief rant about how fringed shoulders should make a comeback, now I am seeing this trend popping up on various style blogs and such.

 

My Findings:
