Blueberry Pie

I know that it is past Thanksgiving but I had the urge to bake one day after work. I was baked vanilla cupcakes that look like pies! I took vanilla icing and added cocoa powder to become a light brown color like real crust. Just make sure to use a ziplock bag with a a cut out hole when icing to be precise with your technique. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this post and that it encourages you to be creative the rest of this week and into the oncoming weekend. Enjoy these next few days before Christmas season gets pretty hectic!
Bon Appetite!

Giving Thanks

Here I am at my parents house enjoying the cold weather (unlike in Houston) snuggling with a blanket on the porch and all of a sudden, there is a donkey right next to me. It freaked me out!!! I guess they forgot to mention they got donkeys while I was gone. On the flip side, I told myself that I would absolutely not have a post about what I am thankful for but I just can't help it! I love my family of course. They are always there for me whenever I need them. I am also thankful for my best friend Stephanie. Thanks girl for keeping me accountable in everything I do! Also my life. I am so grateful to God for giving me the best life imaginable. I am thankful for God's grace for saving me from my sins so that I may go to heaven whenever I die. My community is a HUGE thing I am grateful for. Everyone is so supportive of the big decisions I am taking in my life and giving me loads of confidence when I need it. I am also thankful for nature and what God created. Here are some pictures I thought you would enjoy!
Happy Turkey Day!

I know I have been bad and not done a post in a few days but my life is so hectic right now! I wore this to a meeting at the office and lunch with my mom. Guess What?!?! It is HOT in November! This should be a crime! I wore a brown cardigan with this but it was so hot outside that as I took pictures I had to take it off. Let's discuss this dress for a minute. I will always be suprised by Michael Kors. I saw this dress and knew that this would be a fashion staple during this winter. Whether I pair it with tights or not this is a perfect addition to my wardrobe.
Wanting winter to come,

I realized that I have skipped a few days in my remix. The other outfits ended up not being as cute as I hoped they would and I didn't have time to change before work so I opted not to take a picture of them and blog about it today. Yesterday I went to the cutest cafe for breakfast called Barnaby's. The best part about it was that I brought my 1 year old white lab, Colt. They also had great food! I got together with the friends I took dog lessons with at Petsmart for breakfast and ordered the Huevos Rancheros. Best thing ever! I would strongly suggest going there whenever you come to Houston.
Peace, Patience, Puppies,

I spent my friday afternoon at a friend's baseball tournament where the weather was wet and miserable. Good thing I packed for a rainy day. I wore a Target rain jacket, Jessica Simpson boots, and True Religion (Style: Billy) jeans. I replicated the bun from the Daybook's Sydney's video tutorial. She showed how to make this cool up-do but her bun looks better than mine does. So far the remix is going well! I am sorry for not posting one everyday but will try my best from now on to keep you updated!
Lots of Love,

For the sake of my crazy schedule, I decided to show you (almost) every other outfit. I am so busy during Christmas time and I get super stressed out! So here is the 3rd outfit of the remix. I am wearing Big Star jeans, Old Navy sweater, and Hanes undershirt, and Old Navy pom pom ballet flats (not shown). I was so excited to find a cute sweater that's not expensive! This was super comfy as I transitioned from work to lunch with friends and back to work. It is very comforting to know that I can dress warm and look cute at the same time!
Keep Warm!
