I Just Can’t Get Enough, I Just Can’t Get Enough

Last night I had the pleasure of meeting some great bloggers. Reiko from God’s Favorite Shoes was in town, and I asked her if she could meet up with me. I was so glad she said yes, because I just adore her. I invited Tina, since it had been FAR too long since I’d seen her, and Reiko brought Juanette. We met for dinner and had a great time. I can’t wait to do it again. Of course, we took photos!~

Now normally, the photo you would see would be something like this:


Tina, Juanette, Reiko, Me

Look How pretty everyone is! So stylish and poised! What you don’t normally see is what it takes to get pictures like that…


Tina races to get to the other side…


EJ: “I think it’s taking the picture now…”


Oh my gosh! Why is this so hard and ridiculous?! (But also fun!)


Work It!



I had SUCH a good time, and I hope we get to see each other again soon! Tina mentioned trying to round up ALL of the Dallas fashion bloggers. How many of you are out there?

And here are my personal shots from yesterday…



I love this dress, but have worn it all of twice, I think, because the sleeves are gorgeous but they don’t mix well with sweaters, and you never know when you might need one in Dallas, with all that overzealous AC!~

The State Fair

We go to The State Fair every year. It’s always hard to dress for because it’s in October and the days start and finish cold, but hit right about scorching in the middle sometimes. Layers are a must.

This year I went with a casual dress, leggings, a knit jacket and of course, cowboy boots. It’s the TEXAS State Fair, after all.





This outfit served me well. We had a long day of fun, shows and FOOD.
We ate and drank:

Fried Butter (balls of butter frozen, wrapped in dough and deep fried)

Cotton Candy

2 very large plastic cups of boxed White Zinfandel. (Because we like to keep it classy.)

Diet Coke

Pork Chips (I ate these solo; thin sliced pork, battered in peppered corn meal and deep friend, served with mustard. These were my favorite of the day)



2 Large Iced SWEET teas

Green Goblins (Cherry Peppers, stuffed with Spicy Chicken and guacamole, battered, deep fried and covered in queso. SO GOOD)





Fired Texas Pecan Pie

Honey Sticks

And I think that covers it.

People approach The Fair in all different ways. Some people are there for the food only. Some the rides, the games, or the art. Nathan and I concentrate on the shows, and we saw several:

Pirates (Comedic High Dive Dare devil troupe)

The Dog Show (Frisbee acrobatics, diving and races)

African Acrobats

The BMX Stunt Show

The Car Show

MUSIC SEEN: ROCK 'N' ROLL PHOTOJOURNALISTS (Featuring Rock and Roll: Lynn Goldsmith And It’s Always Rock and Roll: The Work of Photojournalist Janet Macoska)

The Butterfly Gardens











The Parade

The Light Show

We had a great time and were so glad to get home to the comfort of our bed and our electric blanket after the cold we endured for the Parade and Light Show, but it was worth it. We can’t wait til next year!

Dallas Area Swap?

Tina and I are thinking of setting up a Dallas clothing, accessories and shoe swap for the ladies. We are aiming for FREE because we think charging goes against the principal of a swap.

You bring gently used items and you trade with other girls. It's not set in stone yet, but we would probably use a "ticket and take turns" system for the first few rounds (You get a ticket for each item you donate to the swap, we take turns selecting items). After that, the leftover items will be sort of free for the taking (but be fair! No grabbing everything to sell to Buffalo Exchange!). Items left after that will be given to Goodwill.

If you are interested, please comment, (or email) and let me know your dress, pant, blouse and shoe size (I know it varies, but for instance, I tend to be a 4/6 or a small/medium in MOST things) so we can get a feel for the numbers!~ Also, if you have feedback somewhere (ebay, etsy, make-up alley), let me know so we can add that to your info. We don't want anyone to get left out, but we do want to try and screen just a bit.
