Mother Daughter Date

Today, feeling nearly fully recovered from my cold (woo!) I went out for a big shopping and lunch date with my mom. It turned out to be a very successful day. We had lunch at the Earl of Sandwich where I had my favorite "Le Frenchy," with ham, brie cheese, and dijon mustard. My mouth is watering now just thinking of it! Then we went shopping for dad's 50th birthday (hehe old man!), I won't say what I got him just in case he sees the blog before the big day (doubtful, but you never know). But just as a hint, I ended up buying Resident Evil for my Wii in the place we got his gift. Something little known about me in the blog world is that I. LOVE. VIOLENCE! Hehe, not real violence, but I'm the ultimate girl to go to the movies on a date with. Chick flicks? Puh-lease. Give me some gorey action violence, a World War II movie or some human eating zombies or any of the Saw movies. So, naturally, I enjoy bloody video games all the same. Anyway, back to normal girly stuff, it was a very successful shopping date. Mommy bought me a thousand pairs of underwear because I needed them and they're so cute! (Not that you even care..) Then we went to Goodwill and I got two more fabulous Spring dresses I can't wait to wear!

Speaking of thrifting, recently I've been toying with the idea of starting a shop on Etsy. Any thoughts? Would anyone want to buy from me? I've got a pretty amazing collection of thrifted dresses already that I don't wear or don't fit and I find a thousand pretty things everytime I shop that won't work for me, but I'd love to give to another lucky lady of a smaller/larger size. So, what do you think, girlies? Let me know!







Today's outfit was the result of waking up to a phone call from my mom to be ready in the next 30 minutes. I had to be fast. So I quickly grabbed my FAVORITE striped t-shirt, I wear this three times a week no joke, hehe, and this little pink skirt I picked up at Salvation Army earlier this week. The skirt was only 50 cents! High five! Then of course, I had to finish it off with oxfords and cardigan due to the small chill in the air. It was my last day to dress up for a few days as I'm getting my wisdom teeth taken out tomorrow morning! I'm so so scared. So, obviously, I'll be away from the blog. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Easter Sunday

How was everyone's weekends? Mine was rather busy, but nice. Yesterday was especially nice, being Easter Sunday. I started the day off at church and then my family in San Antonio, consisting of me my parents and sister, my mom's brother, and a close family friend, drove to Gruene, Texas one of my favorite little towns to eat at the Gristmill with my grandparents, aunt and uncle and little cousins. It was such a great, relaxing day.

I ate a wonderful grilled chicken sandwich with honey dijon sauce, oh soo good. After lunch we went to some wonderful Antique stores and little boutiques, where I could've spent hours, but the men were impatient. Though I do think I found the dress I'll wear to my graduation ceremony in June. It's so pretty and perfect, I'm definitely keeping it in mind. My mom and I will go back to Gruene soon and spend the real amount of time I'd like to spend in the little shops. I can't wait.







After lunch and shopping we headed back to my aunt and uncle's house in San Marcos for a little easter egg hunt and a lot of relaxation. My mom and I went with my uncle to tour some of the houses in his neighborhood since he lives in the historic district. I fell in love with just about every house I saw. I don't understand everyone's fixation with brand new, modern architecture and houses. I want to take an old house and flip it to make it exactly what I want. A big white or blue house, with ivy growing up the front, old creaky stairs, and some sort of history, with many owners before me. Unfortunately, after such a wonderful day, towards the end I started to feel sick and by the time I got home I was so sick with fever I couldn't move from bed. So I've spent my entire Monday in bed, sick as a dog. Great way to end the weekend, eh?

And now, outfit photos of my Easter dress. I remember as a little girl, buying a new dress meant more to me on Easter than chocolate bunnies or egg hunting. This year was no different, though I did appreciate my mom's wonderful basket of candy, especially my hollow white chocolate bunny. Yummm! I found this dress weeks ago at Forever 21 and thought the colors were so perfect for Spring. I didn't wear it when I bought it, due to the wintry weather, and eventually decided it would make a perfect Easter dress.









I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a lovely holiday, if you celebrate it. Hopefully soon I'll be feeling better and be able to get back to regular programming on the blog. I've been so out of it style-wise lately and now this cold. See you soon..
