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...

Splurge or Save: Black Ankle Boots

Left- Acne ($630.00) / Right- Zara ($99.90)

Hey guys! Sorry I've been pretty absent and no new outfits lately, but I've been a busy girl these days with work. I'm also getting ready to move to a new place in a couple weeks, so I've been preparing for that too. Anyway, how almost identical are these Chelsea ankle boots by Acne and Zara? I'm pretty sold on the Zara pair, they were all over the fall lookbook and the height of the heel is perfection. Wish I could afford the Acne pair. Acne is one of my favorite brands, but I kind of love the Zara style better. Done and done. Happy Tuesday!

Splurge or Save: Shredded Denim Boyfriend Shorts

Splurge- J Brand Shredded Boyfriend Shorts / Save- MOTO Ripped Denim Boy Shorts

I've been lusting over these J Brand shredded boyfriend shorts for a while now. Can't decide if I should splurge on them, or get an almost identical, cheaper pair from Topshop. What would you do?

Tan Lines & Sunburn

Striped Dress, worn as a shirt- H&M (similar) / Vest- Urban Outfitters / Skirt- Forever 21 / Boots- Jeffrey Campbell / Backpack- Forever 21 / Sunnies- American Apparel / Lips- Stila in 'Beso'

I had to get pretty creative with this outfit to hide the weird farmer tan and sunburn I acquired over the weekend at Free Press in Houston. I've now begun to peel... love it. Happy weekend!!

P.S. Backpacks are the new purse this summer. Get one, ya dig!

NYC Photo Diary Part 2

Walked around Coney Island. It was such a beautiful day.

Velvet decor at Ink. I want.

Last day lunch!

Had to take a photo of the Apple Store. It was packed!

Major Louboutin shoe porn/eye candy at Bergdorf Goodman.

I think I went into a shoe coma at Bergdorf's because I have no idea how I came out with these... the Chanel black and white leather espadrilles. In love. 

And these gorgeous things... :) Oops.

On our way to the airport!

So happy I got to visit New York again with my mom. We're already planning our next trip for hopefully some time this fall. One of my most favorite cities in the entire world. We ate, drank, shopped, explored, and got way too little sleep but it was totally worth it. Till next time New York!
