Grandma Knows Best
Hello beauties! I hope everyone is having a great New Year so far, I know its only been a week but its never too early to start the year off with a better attitude or positive vibes. I've been working like crazy so I've been a little grumpy but being able to have a little time to put together another post is helping. I bought this cute dress from Forever 21 and it reminds me of the tapestry off a couch, which sounds bad but I love it! I'm into granny prints and fabrics so when I saw this gem in the sale section I grabbed it and fell in love instantly. I saw this picture on tumblr of a girl with a fro wearing something similar but hers was made of denim and she paired it with a similar fuzzy sweater and all I could think is "that's so me!" So you can image how happy I was when I saw how adorable the two looked together. In case you guys were wondering it was 30 degrees when I took these pictures and my face and legs were frozen by the time I got back in my car. It was totally worth it though, right? On another note, I just want to take the time to say how much I appreciate you guys for keeping up with me! I haven't had this blog for that long and I've already made some new friends(I do consider my readers friends) super cheesy, I know. I hope 2014 will bring me more adventures and advances for my blog. My goal is to aim high and not be scared to put myself out there and thanks to all of you I'm already at a good start.
Also thank you Lauren for taking my pictures! Check out her hair blog (here)

So recently I just found out that Houston has pop shop events throughout the year, and today I went to my first one. I advise everyone who lives in Houston to go to at least one, there's a variety of pieces to chose from and the shop owners put so much work into their art. And did I mention its free admission? There were so many independent artists and such beautiful pieces. Not only were there goods but also food trucks, live music, and a henna station. I'm so proud of myself for remembering to bring my camera to take pictures! I'd also like to say that I have the most supportive friends, lately I've been going on adventures with my friend Trish whom joined me today. She was sweet enough to take my pictures and come along to try new things with me. I wish I could've bought a lot more of the handmade goods but I was able to snag a cute shirt from one of my favorite bloggers/shop owners at Sun Child. I'll be posting a picture this week in my cute tee. Overall great day and I can't wait to go to more of these shops.
Bye deerlings <3

| Pinafore Dress-ASOS/Gold chain-Chinatown/Wedges-UO |
I ordered this adorable pinafore online from ASOS (here) in the sale section and on top that had an extra 20% off promo code so I couldn't wait to get it in the mail and style it. I've seen similar ones at XXI and Urban Outfitters but I wanted one with a thicker material so that I could layer it for winter. This one is perfect and a great length. I have difficulties find dresses that are long enough for me which is crazy because I'm only 5'7 but I swear every time I order a dress online it ends up looking like a tunic on me and I have to throw tights on just to feel comfortable wearing it out. I love that this one has a real pocket in the front and that the straps are adjustable so it fits like a glove. Btw, it's been raining for the past two days and I decided to wear my favorite suede wedges to walk around downtown and got them soaked. A lesson to everyone spray protector on your suede shoes so you don't ruin them like I did mine!
Thanks for reading, bye deerlings <3
