Happy Friday Lovies! How was everyone's work week? Mine was a breeze after the previous week at Renegade Craft Fair! I had a chance to squeeze in this quick photo shoot with the Mister right before the show. The weather wasn't every agreeable so we decided to try a different location other than our regular backyard. We didn't venture too far .... right outside our front door. I don't show off our home too much but it's definitely not hard to miss. Our neighborhood is very colorful to say the least. I love it though..... living on the eastside of Austin has been a blessing. It's not too far away from all the thing's that we love about Austin but just far enough away that we can still get some peace and quite. We love having a huge backyard to raise our chicken's as well as a wonderful little garden and my fabulous Studio. (Which will be featured soon!) We live in a up and coming "Green Community" called Agave. The houses are "Modern" but have a "Surburban Vibe" to them as seen here on Modern Austin. Check out this awesome Tumblr I stumbled upon. That gives you a good idea about what life is like here in the Agave district.
So here I am "bringing it on" in the Peplum top I purchased quite some time ago. I finally feel like I look "okay enough" to wear it. The majority of the weight I lost was all in my torso area... that's where the women in our family love to store our winter supply of fat. Can I get a holla' for genetics over here? Horizontal stripes aren't that "forgiving" so it's taken awhile for me to work up to this point. I still shudder inside at the sight of some of my photo's but luckly you don't have to see all the un-edited awkwardness. Oh... and I also wore super stacked wedges so I would appear "Giraffe like" instead of an Oompa Loompa. No offense to Oompa Loompas!!
As you can see our home is very Turquoise! The Mister let me pick out the colors of our home when we purchased it. I was completely shocked at first sight but I'm used to it now. It's one thing to look at little samples when you are making a desision but then to see it HUGE in real life is quite another...... I cried when I first saw it. The color's are "Tropical Twist" and "Cornucopia" and some Brown color that I did not choose. The house was actually a two toned all brown mess when we first bought it. We were allowed upgrades so used it to re-paint the exterier instead. I'm glad we did because Brown on Brown was not working for me. Now when I give directions to guests that are coming over I just make it easy and say ...."It's the Turqouise and Orange one".
I just recieved these earring's and necklace from Caitlyn of Most Adoringly all the way from Utah! I was super excited to get them.... I also have two beautiful bracelets as well.
Like I stated before the weather wasn't agreeable making for a very interesting photoshoot. Hopefully things will start to "Green Up" around here... we've had enough rain so far! Things don't generally stay green for long in the Austin sun... especially if we are under yet another water restriction. Which is fine with us... we don't really care too much if our lawn is green. We just need to water our Garden to keep it fresh ya know?
There's the bracelts! I'm also sporting some fun stackable rings I bought with Mandy Bustamante at H&M a few weeks ago. I love them! The wedges I bought a year or so ago at Forever 21. I'm not gonna lie.... it's pretty hard to not break your neck while walking in these. They are for special occasions only.
That wraps it up for this week. Do ya'll have any special plans for this upcoming weekend? I hope to get some rest and relaxation in with the Mister. Have a great weekend Lovies!
