I Love Texas!

If you're reading this blog that probably means you know me pretty well. And if you know me pretty well, you know that I love TEXAS! I am a Texan through and through. I love my cowboy boots, buckles, sweet tea, and the occasional BBQ. I love my state, and it's a part of a part of who I am. Anyway, I was reading goop and I discovered Maya Brenner . Her designs are pretty simple, but enough to make a statement. Some of her most popular necklace are her state necklaces. You can find your state, and buy it in gold or silver. If you add a diamond, they will place it in the geographic location of your city!  So demonstrate your love for your state/city with one of these necklaces!

p.s. Maya Brenner also sells really cute charm necklaces. My personal favorite is the "straight as an arrow" necklace.

The Denim Vest

Reader, I am sorry I haven't updated in such a long time... It wasn't until my good friend, Larry, complained that I got my lazy ass to write. Thanks Larry! 


I have searched high and low for the perfect denim vest. This spring/summer brace yourself for the return of the denim vest. This particular article of clothing, which we all thought died after the 90's, is coming back! Personally, I like to pair this vest with a bright colored dress or some shorts. Do me a favor and don't pair it with denim shorts. Denim on denim was never a good look and it never will be. Anyway, back to the main reason as to why I love denim vests. Sometimes an outfit can look a little naked, and it doesn't always mean that you're missing the perfect necklace or that amazing clutch. I usually like to wear scarves or blazers to resolve this problem, but in the summer/spring what can you do?!? You can't wear a scarf or a blazer when it's 100 degrees and the humidity is sucking the life out of you. The solution to this problem is a denim vest. The denim vest is a great option because it lets you breathe a bit and it can be the finishing touch. So ladies, go buy a denim vest! It's the best thing you can buy for the summer/spring.
