Local Spaces- Tillery Street Plant Co.


Here is a closer look at the scene from my outfit post on Monday. Tillery Street Plant Co. in East Austin is one of the most magical little spots I've ever been to. I couldn't help but smile the whole time I was there. My pal Emma decided to share this gem of a garden with me last week and I'm so glad she did. My friends are kind of the best... I think I might have to take a page from Emma's book and share this special place one day soon with my fellow local blogger buddies, Nicole and Kirsten. Don't be scurrrrred. We can potentially (but hopefully not) kill our succulents together. The moral support from one another will make it so much less painful if our findings don't make it once we bring them home :) What do ya say gals?? I know y'all want to...

Succulents


Happy Monday! It's been a while since I've posted some outfit photos around here. Sorry bout that. Well, now that that's out of the way, I went and bought some succulents the other day. My very first set of plants I've ever had I think. I'm not very domestic but I hear succulents are the lazy persons plant so that's kinda perfect. As long as I don't kill them in the first couple weeks I'll be happy.

Ropers + My Weekend


What up? It's Friday and it basically snowed over night in the ATX!! Yes, you read that right. Snowed. Kinda. Or iced over. Whatever. The grass outside is white. But (isn't there always a 'but'), in true Texas fashion it'll be in the 70s tomorrow. That's real southern living for ya.

Anyway, just wanted to share a photo of my new favorite boots. I feel super cool/kinda country in these cuties. I bought them on Etsy from Nerdy Birdy Vintage. They've got some real great pieces over there. Go have a look! Hope y'all have a great weekend. Doing a little TNT (Tacos 'N Tequila) tonight with my friends and kind of relaxing the rest of the weekend. I have lots of things coming up in the next couple months so I'm happy to have one last weekend of chill time before the crazy ensues. Such is my life...

Life Lately- Through My Lens


Since I got my new camera lens a couple months ago I've been really trying to "learn" better photography. I took a free photo class last month, bought some online camera skillzz tutorials + a photo editing tutorial for Lightroom, and have been taking my camera out with me more often. Like I mentioned a couple weeks ago, one of my New Year's resolutions (are people still talking about those?) is to become a better photographer, so I'm heading in the right direction I think. Although, lets be honest here, I haven't gotten too far into my tutorials, but hey, I'm working on it. That's all that counts, right?

Anyway, here are a few photos I've taken over the past couple months. Expect to see more "Through My Lens" posts 'round these parts. I mean, what better way to document my progress than to put my photos up on the blog?! I hope you don't mind! Check ya later dudes.

Local Spaces- Cafe Pacha on Burnet Rd.


One of my new things this year is to get out of the house more. Working from home you can totally get stuck in a terrible routine of NEVER leaving your house. It's no bueno you guys. Really. I feel so much happier and productive when I go work at a coffee shop or something like that. So the other day I hit up Pacha. Such a cute place... and yes, their signature latte, the Pacha Latte, is really sooo good. I hadn't been there in almost 2 years. Shame on me! I'll be back soon. Check it out if you are ever up north :)

14 "Resolutions" for 2014


Well hello. Happy 2014! How has the year been for you so far? We're already a week in. I've got no complaints as of yet. All in all, it's been a pretty nice past several days for me.

So as it goes, here are my "resolutions" for 2014 ... It's really more of a "Things I want to do this year" list ... some are technically resolutions, so whatevs. But I just wanted to put some things in writing that I want to keep in mind to do this year. You know, so I don't forget! My mind isn't as fresh and clear as it once was, y'all.

1. Travel more.
2. Learn better photography + how to better edit my photos.
3. Drink Less Beer, Drink More Water (that might be my new motto).
4. Read books more often.
5. Do more cleanses (already started one this week, BOOM).
6. Continue yoga.
7. Be kind and positive toward others ... Smile!
8. Get more sleep.
9. Frequent thrift shops (so many good ones in Austin).
10. Take more outfit photos for the blog.
11. Start collecting records (started this one also, but I gotta keep it up).
12. Write things down ... on paper.
13. Grow up a little (but not like, completely).
14. Start doing the things I really want to do ... no more holding back or putting off :)

What resolutions are you making this year? Do you have any of the same one's as me??
