Down Pour

So this was Austin this morning, at Barton Springs Pool, normally there is a large sidewalk between the water and grass. Also, that grass is about 4 feet above the sidewalk.
We had rain! It was exciting! It was needed! And it was a mess! Needless to say, there was little time for outfit photos this morning.


Besides, this is what I was rocking on my way out the door. Woo for my raincoat and rain boots matching! Also, how about my sweet Saints lunchbox? My hubs buys the best presents!

Since my clothes were not the cutest, I thought I'd toss in a little Petunia, cause she's always cute!

Red Alert

Happy MLK day! I love a good government holiday, it means a nice leisurely day off. All I did today was finish the Hunger Games, run out right after and buy Catching Fire, and then go to the grocery store. It was an exciting day, let me tell you. Since we weren't up to much, I obviously needed to dress up a bit. I love my red jeans but am not yet brave enough to wear them for work, so this was the perfect solution. I think the lady in the yogurt aisle was very impressed.



Today is also my dad's birthday, and I wanted to send him some love! Happy Birthday to the man who did my hair, watched my fashion shows after every shopping trip, and would tell me when the colors in my outfit didn't quite go. He is the best daddy as girl could ask for!


This is my neighbors cat, she wanted to be on the blog and with her fabulous tortie coat, I couldn't say no.

Potluck!

Today to celebrate Thanksgiving my work hosted its annual Turkey Day Potluck, in my department we have over 100 people (they work all over campus) so it was a HUGE spread of deliciousness and I felt it necessary to dress the part to the best of my abilities!


Peter got me this dress for our first Christmas together and I love it. I only wear it in the winter months and since its sleeveless I can change it up with different sweaters and cardigans. Not only are the colors great, the pattern has little snails in it too, which just makes me smile.


Petunia got spayed on Tuesday and has since been sporting quite the Elizabethan style collar. She isn't too big of a fan of it, obviously, but I think she's pretty darn cute as a 16th century Queen.
