For those of you who don't know, sixth street can often be found littered with drunken young people on weekends...

Dress: Express Shoes: Gifted ...because sometimes a girl just needs to put on that curve hugging dress with her favorite cheetah print shoes...and some dancing music. What can I say, Little Sister loves to feel the rhythm in her soul (and borrow my dresses while doing it). I am more of a private dancer, frequently found shaking my groove thang while doing my hair or fist pumping while driving to work. I am safe. I...
Step 1: Find yourself a grill. Leave the boyfriend there with mesquite wood, lighter fluid, and a lighter. Go and make rice, which you will ruin because you were watching a movie and forgot the lid on too long, creating a pasty, bland mess. Step 2: Come back to the grill. Apologize in advance for the terrible rice. Observe that the wood has miraculously turned into glowing, white-red embers in your absence. When the...

A man with a clearly disguised voice answered the phone and quickly said that he loved me and had messed up any opportunity he had with me by...
I fully planned on having a wonderful nutella chocolate cake recipe for you guys today. This Sunday was designated as my cake baking day. I chose a theme and meticulously cut out a picture, whose theme will be kept a secret for a future post. I should have known not to use a cake recipe that I was not familiar with. This is the beautiful creation I have for you today. So, what do you...
Jacket: Express Pants: Old Navy Shirt: Old Navy Scarf: Stolen from older sister's closet Until recently, the only indication of the arrival of Fall was the sudden abundance of thanksgiving decorations in just about anywhere....Well my friends, it is colldddd.....Not Antartica cold, by any means, but it's 52 degrees right now. Some of you may be rolling your eyes right now, but, in Texas, this is Eskimo coat weather. I spent one glorious summer up...
I took a trip to Central Market recently and left my face grease imprint on a lot of glass surfaces...so much pretty....All that's missing is a giant bucket of melted grease to dip the bread in for my heart to be happy. ...
Blouse: Ann Taylor- thrifted ($2) Skirt: NY&C ($20) Shoes: The Shoe Department ($20) I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! During one of my thrift trips, I found this beautiful Ann Taylor blouse for $2. It wraps beautifully around the body and ties in the back. Gloria recently borrowed it for a school function.
