What piece of jewelry do you wear everyday? Besides my wedding ring, I always wear this Elsa Peretti Open Heart pendant by Tiffany and Co., a gift from my parents a few years back. But that's not really the point of this post...
...I was polishing my nails with the bottle of Mischievous Mint (MAC) I recently acquired, and thought "This color blue reminds me of something...what is it?"

I am super-sorry for my lack of posts lately. I can't even begin to explain how busy I've been, and it doesn't look like I'll be getting a respite anytime soon.
Ok! So Beyonce's new super-hyped up video came out yesterday, and to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed.

My birthday is coming up, and so instead of privately obsessing over my wishlist, I thought I'd share it with you all!
Here's what I have my eye on this spring:
The A-Different-Stripe Maxi Dress from Anthropologie.
The Canvas Boardwalk Brogue from Madewell.
A bottle of Miss Dior Cherie.
The nail polishes from MAC's Quite Cute collection.

{Again, I went out sans makeup and in my "getting dirty" clothes. It was a long day}
The last couple days of SXSW, we had some more friends (Taro-kun and M-) come to stay with us, so we had a full house! I had some cool pictures of Taro and M- on their 10-speeds, but I seem to have "lost" them. So sad...they are so cute!

I gave up on wearing make-up for the rest of SXSW. It was just too hot and schweaty to even bother.
Later in the week, Ted and Coool Dundee of Damaged Good$ came to stay with us because they had a performance on Thursday night with Ghost Pizza. It's always a good time when they come to visit us, as you can see. ^That's Ted up above^ Kris should be doing a post on that performance soon.

Days 2 and 3 of SXSW were probably the most crazy awesome days of my life thus far! After attending more panels at Bakespace.com's TechMunch, I raced over to Buffalo Billiards for Mashable's annual Geek Games.

Some interesting articles about race / ethnicity in the fashion world I've stumbled across in the last couple weeks:

Friday:
It snowed Thursday night, and since people in Texas don't know how to drive in the snow, work was canceled! The three-day-weekend was MUCH appreciated, and I took Sophie out to enjoy the snow before it melted. She hasn't had much experience with snow, so it was pretty funny to watch her go around investigating.
For dinner, Kris and I went to Moonshine (after all the snow melted).Girl in the Worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13371299952540638732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5044650751278899140.post-7532378375103058232011-02-03T16:41:00.000-06:002011-02-03T16:41:18.019-06:00::Brrrrr!::
As temperatures dip more and more in Texas, I keep thinking about sliding on over to Barney's to indulge my latest obsession:
Man, this would look soooo good with some weathered Frye boots and leggings. Not to mention, I'd be toasty warm! Until then, I'll be bundled up under the covers with a cup of Russian tea with a book!

Today, I went to a Very Important Luncheon....I can't say why it's important, but hopefully I will have some good news to share in the coming months! Once again, my experimentation with make-up had better than expected results. Here's what I was wearing:

So this was the result of my experiment on Saturday afternoon. I shredded the white tee shirt (front and back) and wore the purple tank underneath. I also managed to cut the crap out of myself with those scissors. :(

Last night, A- had her "Boughetto" Birthday Bash...so that means I had to get creative to come up with a costume! I already had those outrageous Marc Jacobs pants, but I went out thrifting to find tops to go with it. What are those scissors doing there? Stay tuned to find out!

For Christmas, my dad sent Kris and I a gift certificate to one of our favorite restaurants - McCormick and Schmick's.

I had today off because of the MLK Jr. holiday, and I'd say it was a day well spent...very relaxing! Kris and I met a friend at Snack Bar, which is one of my favorite lunch spots, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who visits Austin. There were lots of people out and about downtown, so there was some pretty interesting people-watching to be done as well.

Chicago's jukin' music is a lot like Detroit's booty bounce club music, and the dance styles (juke vs. jit) are similar as well.
