Happy New Year!

I told you I was gonna give this shirt another chance...much better with a skirt:)

I wore this New Year's Eve...then I ate praline cheesecake. There was stuff in between but that's the most important thing to know about my night...the cheesecake:)

(I thrifted this vintage overcoat a while back. I believe it was handmade. It's quite warm and makes me happy)

(Urban Outfitters T-shirt/Target skirt/ Aldo earrings)

I want to go to the gym but I know it's going to be stupid packed for a few weeks. I'm thinking a nice walk is what I'll start this new year with....after a nap:)

Goodbye 2010!

 I almost didn't do this post because I thought "who looks at pictures of themselves and picks their favorite outfits!" Then, my other self replied, "BLOGGERS!"

So here is a recap of some of my looks in 2010...in random order because I'm way too lazy.

(Do you remember that this outfit made me a finalist for a contest to win a designer bag? I lost.)

(I wore the above ensemble to the Maxwell/Jill Scott concert)

(On the way to the Maxwell concert in my Prince "Life is a Parade" tee)

(My nephew and I hanging out this summer)

(I met some Dallas bloggers who have become my friends!)

Immediately after the above pic was taken, I fell and decapitated my knee:(

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Formal Introduction

I thought you should meet my shoes.

GFS Followers...say Hi to my little friends.

My Christmas shoes.

I'm not sure where or if I'm going anywhere for New Year's Eve but I can assure you that these babies will be on my feet no matter what happens.

Hopefully I will go somewhere interesting before New Year's Day. If that happens, I will do an outfit post.  If not...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thanks for hanging in there with me:)

I am so grateful that God thinks enough of me to wake me up and breathe life into me every morning. While I run around this place making a complete mess of things, he just laughs at me and grants me another day.  I don't take that for granted.

I pray for your safety, health and prosperty in The New Year!

Happy New Year!

I love this jacket with all thine heart and all thy soul. Amen and Amen. 2009 is over. Onward and upward.

Catching Up...

Hopefully, everyone celebrated the Birth of Jesus in style:)

Here is an outfit that I've remixed ALOT over the last week. I wore this top as a dress a few days before Christmas and the very next day I had to layer it with tights/boots/cardigan/scarf and a coat! That's Texas weather for ya'.I am really loving these basic Calvin Klein heels.

I tied an old scarf from H & M to the handle of my vintage bag to spice it up. I tried to get a close up of the graphics of the top/dress...basically images of people from Woodstock apparently enjoying themselves a little too much. I searched for one black face in the crowd but alas, me "wearing" the shirt will just have to count:) LOL!

Apparently, a deep conversation with a 9 year old about a Snuggie being a gimmick got me this Snuggie for Christmas. It's from one of my favorite 9 year olds in the world and I must admit...I LOVE IT! LOL. Granted, I still say it's just a robe worn backwards but I must admit that it keeps me warm. I'm wearing it as I type this post.

I am going to have to research these Snuggie people and figure out how they brainwashed the whole country! From the Snuggie to a little piece of happiness in a BLUE BOX (thank you Santa) to Scrabble Playing Cards...I had a blessed Christmas.

Happy New Year just in case I don't post for a few days:)

WAIT...One more thing! I met up with a GFS follower! Benita, a follower in pharmacy school in Austin, Texas contacted me about places to vintage shop in Houston. I offered to meet her because let's face it....I thought only my family gets bored enough to read my banter (and by read, I mean look at the pictures only...BUSTED!)

We decide to meet and of course I catch a cold from hell. I wasn't well enough to shop with her but I did show her the ropes! Even the people who worked AT the store looked at me like I was crazy! I was totally having a Rachel Zoe Moment:) Benita and her tres chic friends came to check out a few of my secret spots and I snapped a pic of Benita as proof (Isn't she adorable)!

One of her friends, Melanie, is a blogger too, so this ultimately turned into my FIRST Blogger Meet up!

**Don't be fooled by my big smile...as I waited for the ladies to meet me, I was dozing off in the car as some remnants of NyQuil decided to take effect. Right after that picture was taken, I went back into my "coma". Ladies, the next time you come into town...I promise to be ALERT! From what I heard though...they got along fine without me and found some cool items!**
