Happy Spring!

Top: vintage // Jeans: Forever 21 // Shoes: Gianni Bini // Jewelry: vintage turquoise ring, great-grandmother's gold and turquoise bangle (borrowed, thanks mom!), vintage silver bangle

Well today is officially the first day of spring. Nothing like a splash of color to celebrate. These coral suede platforms did just the trick. I almost passed out when I stumbled upon them in a sale rack for $27! These babes have been in constant rotation ever since.

Home body.

I spent the past week in the country at my parents' house. It was so nice to roam through the tall (super tall!) spring grass with the dogs, see the buds peeping out, pet the cats and watch sunsets from the front porch. Of corse fruitful thrifting, cheesy Tex-Mex, juicy burgers, backyard beers and time with my folks weren't bad either.

Of course.

Yeah, of course I bought these leopard jeans. I couldn't resist. I have a leopard addiction.

Winter Green

vintage sunglasses // Joie leather jacket (similar here) // Hey Murphy necklace // Olive + Ernie necklace // Anthropologie  shirt // vintage trousers // Zara heels

It's unseasonably green in Texas. So nice to see all the little shoots peaking out. They're a tad early I think, but it seems unlikely it'll freeze this year. It makes me miss a blustery snow day, of which believe it or not, we had a few when I was a kid, but when you can throw on mint green trousers a buttery leather jacket in the "dead of winter" and run around without freezing you can't complain.

Birthday Booties

Rachel Comey Leopard Mars Booties!! I've been lusting after these booties for ages. I nearly passed out when I opened them up yesterday morning. Best birthday present ever!! Thanks Raym. Little Olive really seems to like them too.

Jungle Fever

Man you guys, it is HOT in Texas. Too hot for anything but big flouncy skirts, mint iced tea, afternoon naps & tons of swimming. I was so happy to find this bright jungle print skirt on my weekly thrift trip -- there are purple parrots perched in there! I've been living in it ever since & it's doing a nice job of keeping me cool. Even Ernie likes it!

My Look: West Texas Rain Showers

After an afternoon rain shower in Marfa Ray & I snuck out to dinner at Cochineal. On our walk there we saw a rainbow over Judd's house & splashed through a few puddles. Dinner was dreamy. I still can't get the rich date pudding we had out of my head.
