Sporty Spice

Friday was a fun day for us! We went to a Red Sox vs Rangers game with a few friends. We were rooting for different teams and looked like we shouldn't have been at the game together, haha. I did like that both times were the same colors and the whole stadium was a sea of red, white and blue. Boston lost by a ton (but won Saturday night so woo hoo) and we almost saw a no hitter but thanks to Big Papi - my hero - that didn't happen. Oh well...

GO SOX!

And I'm feeling like Sporty Spice in this little ensemble..

New Obsessions

Just a couple outfits from this week!

Necklace: jane.com

Dress: Forever21

Bow bracelet: groopdealz.com

Wedges: Payless, similar

So, a little (and quite pointless) story of my tassel adventure... Over the last few weeks, I have been seeing tassel bracelets occupy Instagram and I couldn't wait to get myself one! It took me a while to pick out which colors I wanted to get at first - I am so indecisive - but I finally settled on a white tassel and black tassel, thinking that they would match the most. After having this bracelet significantly less than 24 hours, I ended up ordering 3 more colored tassels online last night {insert crying/laughing emoji face here}. I couldn't help myself!! And my husband thinks I'm a crazy tassel lady now...

How cute is little Tanky Tank!? He loves my new bracelet too ;)

Fifth of May!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!

We celebrated this weekend with a few friends. They had a casual little gathering. We ate some beans and rice - duh - and played a game called Celebrity. If you haven't played, look it up and try! It sounds super confusing at first but if you have a person or two to start out with who know how to play, it's really fun!

and PS - we were obviously the cutest couple there

Top: Forever 21 (super old)

Printed Palazzo

I came across these adorable palazzo pants the other day at Target and couldn't keep myself from buying them. This is my first time wearing them and I'm not totally convinced I can pull off the look, but I tried! I absolutely love the pattern and hope that I will gain some confidence in these pants the more I wear them!

If you have been toying with the idea of purchasing palazzo pants, I suggest you try on many different types before you give up! There are baggier ones than these, skinnier legged ones, etc. I took 5 different styles of palazzo pants in the dressing room before I fell in love with these beauties. Maybe you won't like any, but make sure you give different styles a try!

I love the look of palazzo pants. And I wish they loved me back.

Tank: Target (on sale right now!)

Pants: Target {I JUST bought these and couldn't find them online. What the heck - similar here}

Wedges: Payless {similar here}

Newest Painting

I got an order last week for a dear friend. How adorable is this quote!? Absolutely reminds me of my best friend!

I can't decide if I want to make this as a listing on Etsy or just share it and maybe get some custom orders.. What do you guys think?

DPD Graduation

David has finally graduated from the Dallas Police Academy, woo hooooooooooo!!! Both his family and my family came to down for the festivities. Thursday was the badge pinning ceremony - this is when each recruit has a loved one (or officer) pin their official badge on them! I was so honored to be selected by David to be his pinner :) It was a cute and intimate ceremony - only his parents, sister and I were there.

On Friday was another ceremony where all of his family and friends were invited to! His class marched in and did all there police-y things, we watched a video that reflected on their time at the academy and listened to a few speeches. I am so proud and excited for him, while terrified at the same time! He will be fighting bad guys on the streets and hopefully staying safe. I don't know what I would do without him. He's my po-po hero.
