Sporty Chic

I love when I meet amazing people through this blog! I have "met" the amazing blogger of Savvy Spice, Dale, when she became a reader of my blog. She's a rockin stylist which is proof from her working on Bravo's new show Silicone Valley. Awesome job girl! Definitely check out her blog for all of her amazing styling tips. My favorite is her post on Chubbies shorts here. First off how awesomely frat-tastic (ya, I just made up a word) are these shorts and I love how she effortlessly pulls of this menswear item. Okay I got a little off topic here...through Dale her neighbor, Wallee, found my blog. He has a company The City Supply Co which has greats tees that make me miss the city so much! And by the city I mean San Francisco. I used to live in Davis, CA for college and did not frequent the city as much as I should only being an hour away. But now that I'm in Texas I think about it way too much, the parks, the shopping, the food...ahh I'm starting to daydream....

Wallee (cutest CEO, check out his post here) sent me over this tee. I wanted to play around with the sportswear trend so I decided to jazz it up a bit. I wore this to see the movie To Rome with Love. Cute movie, typical Woody Allen humor...but I probably could have waited for it to come out on DVD. Next movie on my list is The Bourne Legacy. Mostly because it looks like an awesome action movie and I really want to know how good this can be without Matt Damon. I mean can you really have a Bourne movie without him?

Casual Lace

Yesterday I met my uncles and a few of his coworkers for lunch with baby E. I was rummaging through my closet thinking I had nothing to wear (I tend to do this when I get bored of my closet) and then came across this lace dress. I had been looking for a lace dress for a while, in fact I think I wanted to wear a lace dress to ring in 2011 last New Years. Well I finally found it, but alas, had yet to find somewhere to wear it. Until yesterday when I decided to dress it down a bit to be more appropriate for a lunch.

Missoni

Houston has been gloomy and a little chilly these past few days, but I managed to get these shots in when we had a bit of sunlight.

This is the Missoni dress from Target that everyone was lusting after. When the line launched in September everyone was in a mad dash to get everything from the stores, their website even crashed! I went online to order a few things and I guess I was one of the lucky ones that was able to get my order through. However, that's not exactly how I got this dress. My family and I took a trip to Amarillo, TX and took a pit stop in Target for some hotel room snacks. To my surprise there were actually a ton of Missoni items still left! I started grabbing a ton of items and this is just one of the many jems I took home that day. The salesgirl had no idea what I was talking about when I told her how excited I was to still see Missoni items still left.

These pictures were taken by my amazing Uncle (Thanks!)
