Minty Leopard

This outfit combines 3 things I love my accordion pleat skirt, leopard, and mint. It makes me smile and it happens to be the only outfit I've managed to photograph in the last 2 weeks. Life has just been busy, and its been hard to fit the photos in, but I promise I have been getting dressed.

I think May might be the busiest month in Austin. Its light out later, its warm but not terribly hot yet and it seems everyone plans events because its nice and we want to enjoy it before the oppressive heat of summer settles in and no one wants to go outside. I am going to work on figuring out how to fit outfit photos in, I've missed my little blog and I'm sure you've missed the photos of Petunia.

Chopped!

This weekend, I went and chopped about six inches off my hair and had it died this awesome red brown shade of wonderful. I also got my bangs back, which makes me so darn happy. It took me 45 minutes this morning to figure out how to do my hair, but I think I settled on something pretty great. I got rave reviews at work, complete with my boss telling me it made me look grown up. Woo finally a grown up at 26!



It was COLD today in Austin, like legitimately cold, so that means sweater, tights, and boots, it was cute and kept me toasty warm all day. Plus I couldn't get too crazy, the focus needed to be on the 'do!

For reference, Petunia isn't the only cute furry animal around here.
Clark is quite the handsome boy!

PS I made that wreath and I am likely far too proud of that accomplishment!

Girl with the big bun on her head

Today I wanted to take things up a notch and for me that means wedges and doing something different to my hair. It turned out well because I would mark today as a good day. To top off my good day, my new sunglasses came in the mail! Not a big thing to most people, but when you've got prescription sunnies, you only get new ones once a year or so, so it was a big day and I'm really happy with them, so yay all around!


I've done buns like this in the past, but it had been a long time and I forgot how much I liked it. I learned how to do it from this awesome tutorial from the adorable Sydney, if you've got long enough hair, you should give it a try, it's super simple but looks very impressive.


I only used this bag when we went to dinner with Pete's dad, I think it might be a bit matchy matchy with the shoes, belt, and bag all being light brown, but for a quick trip to Torchy's Tacos I think it was just fine.
