design*sponge book signing

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending a crafting/book signing celebration bash for one of my all-time blogger idols, Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge. It was an incredible treat to meet her (yes, she is as adorable and bubbly in person as she is on her blog) and mingle with other bloggers and fans. I highly recommend her book too!

*UPDATE: Our photo made it onto the Design*Sponge website (scroll down to Austin), woohoo!

donut bag

Who wouldn't want a bag that is part canvas tote and part leather bracelet...and part donut? :)

sleepyheads

Gloomy days like today call for lots of daytime naps...oh how envious I am. Pretty sure Hallie is peeking at me with one eye open when I snapped this photo...that sly dog. 

haunted house

Haha, these photos from the Nightmare Fear Factory in Canada are too funny...why do we enjoy scaring ourselves silly!? I'm all for Halloween but I stopped watching scary movies ever since I saw this one in the theaters (yes, I actually sobbed during parts of it because it was so horrific).

hello austin

A quick trip to Austin last week meant plenty of good eats and sisterly bonding time...also got to meet up with my friend, Hillary, for some tasty cinnamon rolls (roll not pictured here). I'm starting to think I take way too many photos of what I eat, but I can't help myself!

new glasses

Guess who got new glasses! Don't we both look super smart? :)

cute cases

   

These iPhone cases are so insanely gorgeous, I kind of want to buy them all...sometimes a girl just needs options... 

mixed earrings

Not sure if I'm cool enough to wear mismatched earrings but these sure are pretty...

two things

Lately, I haven't been able to leave the house without wearing these two things: 1) bright red-orangey lipstick 2) my turquoise patina bracelet.
