::SXSW Day 1::

Headed out for Day 1 of SXSW Interactive.
Top: Rodarte for Target / Hat: Urban Outfitters / Sunglasses: Dior
Face: MAC Golden Lariat Mineralizer (my new favorite!) from the Wonder Woman collection; MAC Oyster Girl Lipglass

That time of year has arrived...when people from all over the world descend upon Austin, TX for a festival celebrating all sorts of media! South by Southwest has been a spring break tradition for me, and this year got pretty exciting! Day 1 consisted of:

Hanging out with fellow bloggers at Bakespace.com's Techmunch Conference, which was a lot of fun!
Plus, Whole Foods sent us home with a little gift:

My Bag o' Swag from Whole Foods. Good lookin' out!

Heading to Lames's Backyard Birthday Bash...complete with Bounce House!

Jeans: J Brand / Handbag: Aldo


L- laughing it up. She is totally rocking that hat!


Havin' a grand ole time!


How cute is this?! I totally want to steal it and hang it in my bathroom!


Kris was having a great time as well...it was hard getting him out of the door!


Chanel, the canine mistress of the house, was pooped.

After dragging ourselves away from the fun at Lames's house, we headed downtown for a networking event hosted by DigitalLA.
But the highlight of my night was this:

Ohhhh yes. They couldn't have picked a better name for this food cart.
I rarely get a chance to get a late night snack from Best Wurst, but I seriously love their Italian Sausage. *DrOoL*


Soooo effing good. If you're ever in Austin, you can catch them on 6th Street at night. Best post-drinking food ever!

I'll be posting more pictures of my days and nights at SXSW soon! Stay tuned! :)

::Boughetto Birthday Bash::

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. :(

{Just so you know, trying to cut stuff with sharp scissors while talking on the phone is NOT a good idea...}




Our ghetto-fabulous hors d'ouevres! Read carefully if you want to laugh, LOL.



Here's the boughetto birthday girl! Complete with wig and improvised "statement" piece!



Some of our ghetto beverage selections. Not pictured: the bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 somebody brought with them.



Lames looking at J- all crazy-like. You might notice that he has a "Kim Zolciak" nametag on...we were playing the game where you guess which celebrity you are. I was Weezy Jefferson!



Ghetto chicken and waffles! Yeeeeeaaaaaah!



Somebody got creative with a dollar bill and the "Leslie, The Queen of Austin" dress-up magnet set, LOL.



My favorite baking queen made red velvet cupcakes with the best cream cheese frosting I've ever had...that little heart was all that was left after I attacked my cupcake.

I took lots of pictures, but can't post them all because Flickr won't let me upload any more until February(*sad face*)...suffice to say that we had a great time and fun was had by all!

Until next time, Cupcake Kisses!

::Night Out - What I Wore::

On Saturday night, Kris and I went to J-'s birthday party. He and R- had turned their house into a nightclub, complete with motion-detecting strobelights and DJ Lames on the digital 1's and 2's!

 

What I Wore:

Jacket: James Perse
Jeans: my trusty old Paper Denim + Cloth
Shoes: Yellow Box (old faves)
Hat: Urban Outfitters
Earrings: A gift from Dev! They're lillies, my favorite flowers.

Make-Up:

EyeShadow: MAC Texture & Motif
EyeLiner: MAC Teddy Eye Kohl
Mascara: Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara
Bronzer: MAC Metal Rock Mineralize Skinfinish
Lips: Clinique Bamboo Pink Long Last Glosswear
(...if you couldn't tell, I'm a hardcore MAC & Clinique fan)

I didn't take a picture of it, but in addition to my wedding ring, I also wore my grandmother's first wedding ring...from 1943! She and my grandfather were married during his furlough from WWII, and then he was sent back to Europe. It's a beautiful Art Deco-ish ring, and it means a lot to me.



Here's Kris...looking cute.

I'll post pictures from the party tomorrow!

XOXO, Girl in the World
