mignon kitchen shop

2012-01-24T14:30:00.000-06:00

Discovered the cutest online kitchen shop last night - Mignon Kitchen Co. offers lovely goods for your kitchen, pantry and tabletop. The photos are gorgeous and I'm already dreaming about the fondue au chocolat...

my breakfast today

2012-01-24T09:30:00.000-06:00

Nothing like homemade granola, yogurt and fresh fruit to start the day off right...

weekend snapshots

2012-01-23T08:59:00.003-06:00

Celebrated Chinese New Year with the doors and windows open to our house pretty much the entire time...still can't believe this ridiculous weather in the middle of January. Sunny and warm, breezy perfection. Not that I'm complaining or anything. Kyle and I stopped by the carnival that was in town, where I was reminded of my love for caramel apples and my hate for amusement park rides...you'd think after +10 years of not being on one would make it a little easier to stomach but no...Kyle took a few photos (not pictured here) of me screaming my head off in fear as we rode a merry-go-round-swing type of a ride. I think it's a pretty popular one with kids. Also attempted to make a Korean green onion pancake (Pa Jeon) for the first time with moderate success...next time I'll be sure to use less batter as it got a little messy when I tried flipping it in the pan. Overall, a weekend filled with small happy moments here in good 'ol Fort Worth.

happy friday

2012-01-20T12:54:00.000-06:00

Yay for the weekend! Kyle's dad makes fun of me all the time for posting photos of my feet on the blog, but what's a girl to do when she's wearing her favorite* pair of shoes on a gorgeous 73°F day like today?

Have a fabulous weekend!

*Favorite as of right now...all of my shoes are my favorite pair at one point or another and I treat them like my babies.

true love in pictures

2012-01-18T16:12:00.001-06:00

Have you seen Scott and Garance's photo project for Tiffany's "what makes love true" campaign? Pretty darn cute.

book table

2012-01-18T10:19:00.000-06:00

How awesome is this? Instead of coffee table books, how about a book coffee table...made up of your favorite books?

weekend snapshots

2012-01-16T10:43:00.001-06:00

Haven't done a weekend post in awhile and even though I was battling pretty bad allergies the entire time, I still managed to get out and enjoy a cheeseburger or two (ok, really just one...but I could have easily eaten two). Check out my new plates I found at the antique mall...came across a fabulous way to decorate our dining room through the wonders of Pinterest!

P.S. Pancho's eyes are red because he suffers from allergies too, just like his mom:)

the joy of books

2012-01-13T10:03:00.000-06:00

I'm such a sucker for books...and stop motion. Happy Friday!

P.S. Did anyone catch last night's episode of Parks and Recreation? They did a small bit about stop motion (which was hilarious) but this particular scene had me laughing to the point of almost crying. I heart Amy Poehler!

reflections

2012-01-10T07:30:00.000-06:00

Sometimes, I'll catch Pancho in deep thought staring out the window...and it makes me think he must be wise and beyond his years.

But then he'll go and do something like this:

And I'm reminded again that he's still just my goofy bulldog puppy:)

around the house

2012-01-08T22:44:00.000-06:00

Spent the weekend doing a little bit of decorating here and there...one of my 2012 resolutions is to [finally] finish furnishing our house. We are fast approaching the two year mark this April but due to the lack of unlimited funds, it has taken us awhile to find and buy things we both like. I can't wait to post a few photos of our home once I'm done though (I'm sooo close, I can feel it)! Oh and my other New Year's resolution is a continuation of last year's goals (see #5)...

makeup favorite

2012-01-05T11:01:00.002-06:00

My favorite beauty product in the world right now is Benefit's Watt's Up! highlighter...have you tried it? I use it on my cheeks and browbones for a champagne glow...and I've found it's all I really need for my face to look fresh (along with some tinted moisturizer of course).

I'm also a little obsessed with Burt's Bees tinted lip balm, that I got as a stocking stuffer from Kyle's parents...was never really a fan of Burt's but this one just glides on so smooth! And just the right amount of color too:)

carrot fries

2012-01-04T07:30:00.000-06:00

Um, I made these last night and even though I was skeptical at first, they were incredible! I was worried I would be let down since they look like sweet potato fries (which I love)...but I think I actually prefer these since the texture is more chewy and less mushy. I'm a texture kind of girl after all.

happy 2012

2012-01-02T22:02:00.001-06:00

I can't believe another year has flown by...it's definitely been a challenging one for me to say the least and I am both happy and sad to see it come to a close. Kyle and I celebrated NYE in Austin by going out to dinner (you can see the restaurant in the background even though it wasn't intentional...lucky shot!), followed by champagne and crazy party hats with friends.

To all of my family + friends + readers: I feel so lucky to have you and as always, thanks for reading:)

Here's to a new year of new adventures!

Kyle sent me this bulldog video and it was too cute not to post! :)

happy holidays

2011-12-23T16:22:00.000-06:00

Hope you all (dare I say "y'all"?) have an absolutely wonderful Christmas weekend with family and friends!!! xo.

sister visit

2011-12-22T10:01:00.000-06:00

My little sister came to stay with us last week, where we had a blast doing what we normally do together - eating, shopping, watching random movies and sitting around and being indecisive (reminds me of this). We even exchanged presents early! She bought me the coolest, super rad-washed-out-neon-pink pants ever...gosh, that girl knows me too well. Can't wait to see her again this weekend...

shooooes

2011-12-21T14:17:00.000-06:00

It's been awhile since I've posted about shoes (almost 3 months, I checked!) so here are a few pairs that I am currently dreaming about.

(Photos via here)

2011-12-19T08:44:00.001-06:00

Call me a late adopter or whatever, but I finally joined Pinterest over the weekend. I've been browsing other people's boards for months but now I finally understand just why it's so addicting. You should try it too...or send me yours if you already have one!

Check out my boards here. xo.

early christmas

2011-12-15T15:59:00.001-06:00

I have a love/hate relationship with the weeks leading up to Christmas...along with the anticipation of much deserved time off comes the stress and pure madness of gift shopping and dealing with crowds. Which is why I am extremely thankful for two things this year: 1) Online shopping (2-3 packages delivered every day to the house for the past few weeks...no joke. The mailman must hate me) and 2) Celebrating Christmas early with Kyle's family in Graham this past weekend. Lots of rest and relaxation time for all...and an abundance of tree branches for Pancho:)

Kind of in love with these gorgeous dresses by Australian designer, Jesse White. All very girly and effortless indeed.

2011-12-09T08:52:00.001-06:00

These tartan bowtie collars are so handsome...hopefully they come in extra large for Pancho next Christmas...

2011-12-08T14:28:00.001-06:00

Oh wise little soap dishes...you inspire me!

family portrait

2011-12-06T20:48:00.001-06:00

A few months ago, we did a little family portrait session with Nessa, the most amazing photographer ever (she also shot our wedding photos). We strolled around one of our favorite spots in downtown Austin - South Congress - just the two of us + the pups. And even though I still miss Hallie like crazy, it makes me smile when I think back to this perfect day.

P.S. Hallie and Pancho both got bacon flavored sno cones after our shoot...so I'm pretty sure they thought it was perfect too:)

hallie

2011-11-29T22:44:00.001-06:00

Our sweet Hallie passed away unexpectedly Monday morning...my heart feels so heavy as I write this. She was a monumental part of my life for the past 13 years and shortly after it happened, all I could think about was how unfair it was and how having her all these years was not worth the amount of sheer pain in the end. But then I realized I would have never experienced the amount of unconditional love that only a dog like her could give. I'm going to miss the way she smelled (especially her paws)...how she was the most talented hide-n-seek player in the world and could always find me...how she wouldn't leave my side when she knew I was sad...among other things.

Anyone who knew her knows that she was somewhat of a worrywart. The vet told us she was too smart for her own good (and she was!)...always worrying about us all the time. I am thankful that she no longer has to worry anymore.

Love you Hallie girl.

the day after

2011-11-28T08:34:00.001-06:00

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My favorite thing about turkey day is that you are no longer considered a nerd for putting up your Christmas tree...we opted for a fake one this year, since we have a new furry family member that is prone to allergies. I'm definitely going to miss that pine needle smell though!

sparkly skirt

2011-11-23T07:51:00.000-06:00

The perfect holiday skirt for dressing up or down, don't you agree? So sparkly!

bike rides

2011-11-23T00:42:00.000-06:00

The food, the weather, the views in Palm Springs...all incredible and exactly what I needed to decompress from work and so forth. Staying at the most hipster hotel on the planet helped too. And can I just say, offering free bike rentals to their guests is a genius move. We took turns with our friends, Runi and Thomas, riding the tandem and cruisin' the posh neighborhoods of Palm Springs like nobody's business...

good reads

2011-11-15T12:56:00.001-06:00

Hi-lar-i-ous. And surprisingly inspiring, oh how I loved this book! I heart you Kelly Kapoor.

luggage tags

2011-11-14T10:39:00.001-06:00

With the holidays just around the corner (I know, can you believe it?!), I'm already on the hunt for one-of-a-kind gifts...these personalized leather luggage tags are so perfect. How romantic would it be to include the coordinates of where you first met your love? Plenty of "aww" factor, I know.

oversized posters

2011-11-13T19:09:00.001-06:00

Obsessed with these gorgeous, oversized B/W posters...especially this one.

P.S. Hope you like the mini-makeover to the blog...it's good to be back:)

happy halloween!

design*sponge book signing

2011-10-19T08:48:00.001-05:00

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending a crafting/book signing celebration bash for one of my all-time blogger idols, Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge. It was an incredible treat to meet her (yes, she is as adorable and bubbly in person as she is on her blog) and mingle with other bloggers and fans. I highly recommend her book too!

*UPDATE: Our photo made it onto the Design*Sponge website (scroll down to Austin), woohoo!

donut bag

2011-10-13T11:33:00.000-05:00

Who wouldn't want a bag that is part canvas tote and part leather bracelet...and part donut? :)

sleepyheads

2011-10-12T12:53:00.000-05:00

Gloomy days like today call for lots of daytime naps...oh how envious I am. Pretty sure Hallie is peeking at me with one eye open when I snapped this photo...that sly dog.

haunted house

2011-10-11T18:52:00.000-05:00

Haha, these photos from the Nightmare Fear Factory in Canada are too funny...why do we enjoy scaring ourselves silly!? I'm all for Halloween but I stopped watching scary movies ever since I saw this one in the theaters (yes, I actually sobbed during parts of it because it was so horrific).

hello austin

2011-10-10T09:11:00.000-05:00

A quick trip to Austin last week meant plenty of good eats and sisterly bonding time...also got to meet up with my friend, Hillary, for some tasty cinnamon rolls (roll not pictured here). I'm starting to think I take way too many photos of what I eat, but I can't help myself!

new glasses

2011-10-06T11:12:00.001-05:00

Guess who got new glasses! Don't we both look super smart? :)

cute cases

2011-10-04T13:46:00.001-05:00

These iPhone cases are so insanely gorgeous, I kind of want to buy them all...sometimes a girl just needs options...

2011-10-04T10:01:00.000-05:00

Not sure if I'm cool enough to wear mismatched earrings but these sure are pretty...

two things

2011-10-03T14:54:00.000-05:00

Lately, I haven't been able to leave the house without wearing these two things: 1) bright red-orangey lipstick 2) my turquoise patina bracelet.

sparkly shoes

2011-09-30T11:08:00.000-05:00

Can you believe Anabela's beautiful sparkly shoes was a result of a DIY project? I am so envious! The pom pom clip-ons are adorable too...

marshmallow caramels

2011-09-29T13:08:00.000-05:00

Can someone pretty please make these homemade marshmallow caramels for me? I can't stop staring at them...

grillin'

2011-09-27T09:52:00.002-05:00

After almost a year and a half, we finally broke in our new grill that Kyle's uncle had bought for us as a wedding gift! Sure, we may have gone a little overboard by grilling burgers for 3 days straight, but we didn't want to waste the meat (so we tell ourselves)...

paper garlands

2011-09-26T13:17:00.000-05:00

Gorgeous handmade paper garlands by Kaye Blegvad...they would look so pretty hanging over a bed. This particular one would be perfect for a boy's room.

nail polish

2011-09-25T19:42:00.001-05:00

My current nail polish obsessions: a very dark, almost-black-navy-blue, a hot pink and a subtle nude...appropriately named "Never Nude". I swear, I will buy anything that reminds me of the funniest TV show ever made.

weekend snapshots

2011-09-19T18:20:00.001-05:00

I need to get better at posting my weekend snaps but here they are:
1. "Bullet", the oldest and most distinguished of bulldogs from our meetup club.
2. A few adoring fans nearby.
3. Hummus + Greek salad goodness.
4. You can't really tell, but my toes are hot pink!
5. Pancho wants to play Mario Kart too (he'd make a good Bowser, so we think).
6. Cinnamon sugar bagel + strawberry cream cheese.
7. Cousins/coworkers.
8. Steak dinner at the Stockyards.

date night

2011-09-16T10:57:00.005-05:00

After a pretty hectic week, I was feeling a little stir-crazy last night so I made Kyle take me on an impromptu date! I put on my spiffy new blazer and we headed out for some sushi and gelato (the wedding cake flavor rocked my world). It was just what I needed.

Have a fabulous weekend!

What I wouldn't give for pretty fall leaves here in Texas...the good news is the days are getting cooler (in the mornings at least) and I'm loving every bit of the calm before the storm that is fall/winter and all of its craziness. Have a wonderful weekend friends!

art prints

2011-09-08T10:30:00.001-05:00

20x200 has some pretty incredible prints (and starting at only $20!)...these are a few of my favorites.

puppy training

2011-09-07T14:55:00.005-05:00

Last night, Kyle and I took Pancho to his first puppy obedience class*, where a little dachshund named Oscar stole my heart. He looked exactly like the one on this card, minus the striped French sweater.

*In case you were wondering, Pancho did extremely well since he had already mastered "sit" a few weeks ago on his own. He seemed to still enjoy showing off in true Pancho fashion though;)

weekend snapshots

2011-09-06T08:00:00.004-05:00

1., 2., 3. Kyle and I checking out yet another art museum in the FW cultural district. This one might be Kyle's favorite.
4. Pancho sporting his soon-to-be-too-small burnt orange jersey...
5. Yum, another groupon well spent.
6. Options, options, options.
7. Gorgeous fall like weather means lots of dog walks and hanging out on the porch.
8. Nothing says goodbye summer like perfectly ripe, juicy watermelon.

the art of clean up

2011-09-01T11:00:00.002-05:00

Photos from a book by Swiss artist Ursus Wehrli, called The Art of Clean Up, captures everyday scenes of disorder that are rearranged and sorted by different attributes such as color, size and shape. I have to admit, this really appeals to the OCD in me...I especially love the pine needles!

1. The best chocolate chip cookie recipe EVER. Seriously, it's the sea salt I'm telling ya!
2. Kyle's older brother, Cliff, visiting us for the first time.
3. Spotted at Kyle's parents' ranch: a lone dust devil.
4. A boys' adventure, bulldogs included.
5. Fried chicken tacos, smothered in green chile avocado sauce (yes, I'm still drooling).
6. Post-surgery Pancho, flashing his signature toothy grin.

4:30pm

My new shoes...I found the gold heels irresistible:)

french food

2011-08-24T07:30:00.003-05:00

These simple prints comparing France to New York are totally adorable and true...is it sad that even though I know it's an illustration, the baguette still made my mouth water?

bulldog meetup

2011-08-22T12:30:00.001-05:00

This past Saturday, we met up with a bunch of other English bulldog owners at a nearby park for their monthly meetup. Even though this was Pancho's first time attending, it's like he knew immediately that these were his "peeps". Finally, friends that could play rough and that were built just like him! All of the people were super friendly and excited to be there...not to mention we had a blast meeting all of the bullies: Winston, Bowser, Daisy, Lily, Moe and Smedley - we'll see you all again next month! :)

weekend snapshots

2011-08-22T06:00:00.005-05:00

1. Double date with friends at an amazing sushi restaurant (no cream cheese, huzzah!) and a few after dinner drinks.
2. The prettiest pink nails a girl could have.
3. A new bed for our guest room (and pillows and bed linens), just in time for a special visitor...
4. Pancho up to his usual mischievous antics.
5. Yummy pho = the best comfort food ever.

brunch at in-n-out

2011-08-19T12:00:00.002-05:00

Ok not really, unless you count showing up at the newly opened In-N-Out here in Fort Worth at 10:30 in the morning. We figured no one would be hungry for burgers that early but we were wrong - it was already a packed house by the time we got there. Oh well, the burger was worth it.

weeknights

2011-08-18T19:36:00.003-05:00

My favorite evenings are the ones that I spend at home, cooking simple meals and hanging out with my husband. xo.

jeni's splendid ice creams

2011-08-16T14:00:00.003-05:00

Kyle and I sent a variety of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams to our friends, Kevin and Joy, as a wedding present a few weeks ago (see wedding weekend here). With flavors such as strawberry buttermilk, salty caramel, and brown butter almond brittle, they all sounded pretty incredible. So far, we've heard good reviews...now I just need to find an excuse to order a pint for us to try...or maybe a few of their homemade macaroon ice cream sandwiches (um, amazing!!!):

Yea, that photo pretty much says it all...

sore throat

2011-08-12T07:35:00.006-05:00

Leave it to me to get sick in the middle of summer...never fails. I predict lots of naps and movie watching (or perhaps Project Runway?!) on the couch the next few days. Hope your weekend is much much better! :)

pancho + pool time

2011-08-11T19:34:00.010-05:00

"What? So what if I have my own pool in the backyard? You do know it's been +100F degrees here for the past two months right? Talk about brutal...I mean, yeah it's a little embarrassing that my mom and dad bought me a turtle sandbox but hey, I'm not picky. Maybe if my legs weren't so stubby and short, I could have had a big kid pool like this guy's...he's my hero."

--Pancho

hand in hand

2011-08-10T07:24:00.003-05:00

Pretty packaged soap for a great cause - for every bar of soap you buy, another will be donated to a child in need. Made of grapefruit, orange blossom and eucalyptus...I bet it smells delightful too.

2011-08-08T09:39:00.016-05:00

Our dear friends, Runi and Thomas, stopped by for a quick visit on their way back to Austin yesterday...we always have way too much fun when we're all together, so of course I am beyond ecstatic that we just booked a couples trip to Palm Springs for later this fall. Lots of pool time and desert sunsets, here we come! Kyle and I also attempted to go mattress shopping for the first time...talk about pricey! Not to mention the sketchy mattress salesmen we spoke to and the scary factory/warehouse in the middle of nowhere...

Oh yeah, and we learned that Pancho has a thing for potato chips;)

2011-08-04T13:20:00.002-05:00

Loving these tribal-inspired jewelry pieces from the shop, Leif...

clog sandals

2011-08-02T13:00:00.002-05:00

I've been wanting a pair of of Swedish Hasbeens for awhile and now the sandals are on sale! Of course, because I have a history of indecisiveness, I don't know which color or style to choose because they are all so adorable.

Help anyone?

cupcakes + happy weekend

2011-07-29T19:40:00.010-05:00

Nothing says it's the weekend like surprise cupcakes at your door from Georgetown Cupcake in D.C.! Thank you Leslie and Paul! The key lime was my favorite:)

argan oil

My current beauty product obsession is Josie Maran's Argan oil. Have you tried it? I use it in place of eye cream and it does wonders for me, wrinkles be gone! It's also 100% organic, super fast absorbing and is supposed to heal and condition everything from cuticles to split ends. I'm thinking of trying the sunblock next...

Also pictured: Clinique's Moisture Surge moisturizer, my favorite perfume of all time and a Hello Kitty perfume sample that I got from Sephora...which smells surprisingly yummy.

Drove down to Houston this past weekend for a good friend's wedding (Kyle was the best man)...there were so many parts that made our time there so fantastic. Well besides what seemed like hundreds of intersecting highways and the constant construction going on (even close to midnight!)...but we very much enjoyed hanging out with the bride and groom's wonderful families, eating coconut pie and bacon and peanut butter burgers (yes you read that right), exploring downtown, seeing old high school friends and meeting the cutest baby with the cutest cowlick ever for the first time. The groom's nintendo cake and the hipster DJ helped too.

On our way back home, we met up with my sister for some tasty brunch and I finally got to see her new apartment (well, new from last December)...I'm a bad sister. See ya later Houston!

pancho + dinnertime

2011-07-21T17:38:00.009-05:00

Just thought you'd like to see what Pancho looks like during his meals...yes, that is him lying on his belly while eating at the same time. The best part is after he's finished, he'll pick up his empty bowl with his mouth and bang it against the kitchen walls and cabinets, as if to say "Please sir, I want some more"! Yep, he's a regular Oliver Twist that one.

*Photos were taken a few weeks ago...he is much bigger now and eats much more than what is shown.

**White stuff mixed in with his kibble = organic plain white yogurt (to help combat his smelly you-know-whats). So far it's working pretty well!

purse + backpack

2011-07-20T08:00:00.000-05:00

A cute butterscotch purse and a cute striped backpack...

Made a quick trip to Austin this past weekend for some much needed "me" time...full of candy-apple red pedicures, cowboy tacos and lots of retail therapy...for outrageously overpriced sunglasses (I heart you Tom Ford) and scented candles, among other things. I'm so thankful to have the most amazing girlfriends ever (and their equally amazing husbands) to always make me feel so welcome every time I go back. I miss them constantly.

Came back home to this little face waiting for me a piece of my quesadilla to "accidentally" fall to the floor. Oh bully.

love etc.

2011-07-15T09:20:00.003-05:00

This looks so sweet and heartfelt. I hope the film comes to Texas...

invisible hallie

2011-07-13T08:04:00.003-05:00

Since Pancho has pretty much taken over the blog (and our lives, really), I thought I'd post a few photos of my Hallie girl...here she is lying on her favorite rug, trying her best to blend in:)

dog bed

2011-07-11T09:45:00.000-05:00

Now that we've evolved into a two dog family, I've been on the hunt for comfy dog beds that mesh well with the rest of our home. Is it just me or are 99% of dog beds absolutely hideous? Found these after doing a quick search on Apartment Therapy...love the neutral colors and the heart-shaped shrimp pillow especially.

Now if only a certain puppy would hurry up with his potty training...

pancho vs. the sprinkler

Who do you think won? ;)

Have a wonderful weekend friends!

flora necklace

2011-07-07T08:41:00.000-05:00

I'm a big fan of Flora's watercolor paintings and prints, so of course I love that she has expanded her shop to include these pretty necklaces. I like how she tells you in her descriptions which skin tones go best with each of her pieces...

house numbers

2011-07-06T14:00:00.000-05:00

If our house didn't already have a sign, I'd totally have to buy these house numbers from Heath Ceramics...they are so timeless! Still saving up for this teapot though...

photo booth

2011-07-05T09:04:00.008-05:00

Some silly photo booth fun from over the weekend...if you can't tell, Hallie hates getting her picture taken the most, followed by Kyle, Pancho and lastly me. I sense this year's xmas card will be a challenge...

frenchies on swings

2011-07-01T09:05:00.001-05:00

I shared this video on twitter earlier this week...honestly, what could be cuter than two frenchies just chillin' on swings? They seem to be loving it too! :)

Happy 4th of July weekend!

anniversary brunch

2011-06-30T11:20:00.000-05:00

We chose to celebrate our one year with brunch at one of our favorite spots, the café inside The Modern. With their ever-changing menu, I chose the vegetable risotto cakes (I'm a sucker for anything with poached eggs) and Kyle ordered the steak sandwich (he's a sucker for anything with mushrooms). Spent the rest of our day hanging with the dogs, watching old movies curled up on the couch. Yea, we're total homebodies and we don't mind one bit:)

levitating self-portraits

2011-06-29T11:30:00.000-05:00

How eerily beautiful are these levitating self-portraits by Natsumi Hayashi? Apparently it can take her up to 300 jumps to get the perfect shot!

pancho + skateboard

2011-06-28T08:30:00.001-05:00

Yes, we bought our little bully his own skateboard. Are we hoping he'll be a natural like the oh-so-famous one on You Tube? You betcha.

wimbledon video

2011-06-27T13:00:00.003-05:00

Saw this video earlier today and just could not resist re-posting. It's a recreation of the 2008 Wimbledon final between Nadal and Federer, but in paper form (complete with sounds/noises from the game)! It's insanely creative...and in case you didn't know, I am a HUGE fan of tennis (blame my dad & sister)...even though I am the most uncoordinated person on the planet and can't play the sport myself...
