thanks thanks thanks!

Welp, I've decided to stop blogging cosas pequenas felices. Over the past few months I simply haven't had the time write, scour and edit over all the things I want to share with people and the blog has suffered as a result. Thanks to anyone who's subscribed, commented and read all my ramblings. I'm still reading and enjoying all your blogs....

Play Time!

We've had rainy mornings and gorgeous, sunny afternoons in Houston. There's talk of a picnic at the Menil lawn that will include cheese, wine and the boyfriend's homemade chicken salad.. which involves cranberry sauce and brie. Life is good-- I have no complaints.

As these long summer days approach us, I fantasize about play clothes, sandals and sunburns.... hope your weekend is sunny, funny and happy.

Pink Reunion

pink by explauren featuring Givenchy flat shoes

For the past four years I've HATED the color pink in my wardrobe. I think it has something to do with my Mom or Paris Hilton or hardcore Victoria Secret Pink princess types. It's not that I judge anyone who wears it, pink always looks precious on little girls and women in moderation. Hell, I'd go for an all-pink dress if the occasion was right. I've slowly started to introduce the color back into my outfits. I tried to put together a few items I would like and wear as a little challenge for myself. It was hard, and almost made me start hating pink again :)

Westheimer Block Party

The Westheimer Block Party was so much fun! It's basically seven to eight venues, usually former houses, set up with bands on every floor or parking lot, playing all day. Bring your own beer, paint your own face, enjoy the wonderful Houston weather. for the record, everyone's favorite band of the day was Ringo Deathstar, a pop band from Austin.

I loved all the cute families that came out-- my favorite was the little boy who proudly wore his wolf hat. It doesn't get any cuter than that. (And he kind of looks like what I imagine my boyfriend looked like when he was little. I have a adorable photo of him dressed up as a bunny to prove it; will save it for an Easter post). The colors, clear skies and action of the block party set up the perfect opportunity for me to play around with my camera for the first time.
