Before it was finished

H&M black dress and striped tights, Rebecca Minkoff MAC clutch, clover necklace from eBay

This was taken about a month before my new house was finished. Now, with the wood floors installed and some furniture, it looks so different (imo)! Yay, I'm now officially a homeowner! Not so 'yay" about my homeowners association fees. Yikes!

Black n Gold... Coincidence?

Our first night out in Vegas and all the girls show up at our meeting place in black and/or gold... unplanned! We were definitely thinking on the same wavelength and it turned out not too shabby! When I travel, I like to pack as light as I can, so I often bring accessories to match several outfits, instead of different accessories for each one (especially shoes and bags!). I think other expert travelers can feel me on that one. It is definitely a PITA packing your suitcase back up on the way home after doing some shopping on vacay.

Betsey Johnson little black dress, Guess nude pumps, Louis Vuitton Eva clutch

We went to Marquee at the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Lots of fun... and some creepers... The hotel is really pretty inside! It's our new favorite hotel on the strip! Vegas, we'll be back!

Chillin'

Forever 21 poncho (last seen here) and necklace, Zara denim, L.A.M.B. clutch, Michael Kors watch

And cheers to another chill night on 6th! Yes, I go there quite often... every chance I get, in fact. Cheap drinks, trailer food and a good time? I'm in!

Still some sunshine left

Dress from Macy's Impulse section (forgot the brand!), Antonio Melani gold sandals

I love when it's sunny but not too hot outside. This was at the Arboretum in Austin, TX. We were there helping my cousin take her senior portraits so I had my sis snap a few of myself while we were there. Hehe. Best weather!

Work it.

Urban Outfitters striped tank, GAP cardigan, A&F denim, over-the-knee tights from Tokyo (which never slouch, btw!!), Kelsi Dagger oxford wedges, Michael Kors ceramic watch, Rebecca Minkoff MAC clutch/crossbody

Another night out on 6th Street in Austin, TX. Very chill scene so you can basically wear whatever you want. These photos were taken after several visits to different bars and even more drinks. It was so good to be back in Austin, one of my favorite U.S. cities. So much food, shopping and fun! Food trailers are the best!

Gotta have flow

Wore this number to my cousin's wedding a year or two ago, before I really started blogging that much. The dress hadn't been photographed but just a few times so I thought it wouldn't hurt to bring it out for a night again! It was deep in my closet but still felt so fresh and new.

BCBG MaxAzria chiffon gown with sequin detailing, Guess pumps, vintage cameo necklace

I really liked the way the dress flowed. Girls, if you want to try something different than your good ol' little black cocktail dress, try a nice comfy, flowy gown to your next event. IMO, they're super comfortable and will bring out your feminine features!
