BBQ With Friends: For no reason.

I bought this brand-new romper at a garage sale for 50 cents!

My wanna-be Kors watch ($60 from Citizen) that I’ve had for years now.

Fashion Lunch Two Weeks Ago: Have been meeting (almost) weekly with Austin Fashion Bloggers to talk shop. It’s been a blast!

BFF In Town: The lack of pictures is due to the fact that most of the time we were playing drinking games. Isn’t she GORGEOUS??

I’ve been obsessed with this lightweight French Connection dress I got at a resale shop for $1.99!

Friend’s Birthday: Too busy again to take pictures of the events but did get shots of the house they rented for the weekend.

The best part was this shower. there were three different places the water sprayed from and then a separate but included section for the huge bathtub. genus. i must have one.

Fashion Lunch One Week Ago:

D.C. To Visit Cousins:

When two consultants live together something magical happens….

….you end up with a LOT of hotel toiletries!

Now that we are no longer living in hotels (thank goodness!), we needed to do something with the above mess.

So I bought a bunch of white boxes and cheapo ribbon from Michael’s and along with stolen paint sample cards from Home Depot…

…..I decorated the boxes into something much more presentable for our guests:

Now that we have a guest bedroom and bathroom and all.

So far this weekend has started out well – I went to an estate sale this morning and had eclairs for breakfast. Now I’m off to doggy playgroup and then getting ready for Shere Khan’s Jungle Book Birthday Party tonight!

Have a fun weekend, dolls!

Shameless plug – go vote for me here: http://www.adoredaustin.com/2010/07/vote-reader-submitted-best-aloof.html on Indiana’s Aloof Blogger Pose contest.

I used this cheesy picture:

Usually don’t submit things to giveaways like that but just thought it was too much fun not to. Voting ends tonight.

P.S. Don’t forget to enter my own giveaway for the fantasmo ring!

P.P.S. Sorry for the lack of updates…been up to my elbows in dogs. Seriously.

…hello, AUSTIN!

We are living in the middle of towers of boxes and attempting to clean out our pantry and refrigerator. It ain’t pretty.

And moving ain’t fun. Our parents have been a tremendous help – with packing and wisdom from their experiences.

Will we be as grown up and capable as our parents?

I just want to throw everything into bags labeled ‘misc’ and be done with it.

Since I forgot to take my camera to the beautiful but boring polo match we went to this evening, here are some random goodies from my Google Reader:

< she’s officially my role model >

< seen on this fun website BFF turned me onto >

< says it all. found here >

< makes me miss my lion cubs! found here >

< Can’t wait to get one once we get to Austin. Anyone have recommendations or tips? Found via Lust Pour Life >



Hope you all have a fantastic Monday! I will be watching this lady because I am officially addicted:

< Can I PLEASE find some amazing nude pumps like these already??  >

Girl went and asked for 50 guys instead of only 25. Hell yeah. Damn you, crazy white folks on reality TV that have me addicted to you absurd antics!

Since we will both be unemployed, the last thing I need to be doing is buying MORE ribbon and scrapbooking paper and popcorn tins from the $1 bin at Michael’s.

But when it turns out to be  30 cents…or better yet 1 CENT it’s hard to resist.

Especially when they also give you 40% off of one of the cans of spray paint they accidentally marked down to $1.99.

P.S. Only a few more days – get excited!

I feel like I’ve been away forevs! San Diego was a pretty long vacay and work has been nuts but I shall catch up with you, Google Reader. Soon.

In case you haven’t already, you should totally join the super awesome and generous folks who are participating in Volunteer – Blog it On.

You should adopt one. Or four. It would be the best decision of your life. If you can’t adopt right now, you can spend May 1 volunteering at your local shelter. And if you’re not able to do that, just go in and pretend like you want to adopt a big dog and then take a whole bunch of them out for “test walks”. They need it.

Think that’s where I’ll be this Sunday – the HSPCA. I haven’t spent nearly enough time there since my training. Maybe I will split my time between the puppies and kitties….because I can never choose. I want them all! Like 10 of each. Costco style.
