Sad Day for American Fairweather Soccer Fans

Saturday afternoon we cheered on the USA in the World Cup.

Too bad they lost...but still a good excuse to watch

very fit men break a sweat on the field.

Shorts: Forever21

Ok the tattoo's not hardcore at all.

It's actually a Dallas Cowboy stick-on, but still looked semi-patriotic.

Things I'm Lovin'

Totally digging the Chanel Resort 2011 runway collection.

I don't normally follow runway because there's way too

many designers to follow and if I follow one, I wanna

follow them all. And next thing I know I've spent

4 hours staring at a jillion pictures of beautiful models

wearing beautiful clothes.

But...I did catch a glimpse of the Chanel show

and was mesmerized!

Here's my fave looks...

Green Everywhere

Yesterday I went to the Dallas Arboretum for a work outing.

It was quite hot and sticky, but all the flowers were so beautiful.

I wish I could go there everyday!

The bamboo was magical.

The colors were amazing...popping everywhere you looked.

I can't believe I got this great shot of a dragonfly.

Definitely a first!

These awesome earrings were a birthday gift from a friend.

I love them dearly and was devastated that I lost one later on in the day.

I guess I'll have to rock just one and act like it was on purpose.

This shirt was perfect for a day in the heat.

It has these light and airy insets at the sides.

This part of the garden looked over the lake.

I miss riding my bike around the lake...haven't done it since 

early spring. It's been so stinking hot, I can't bear the thought of it.

Pretty in Pink

I took these photos in the back of my house...
hence the garage door.

I love how the colors of my dress blends so well with the door.

Very unexpected!

Keeping the Guests Cheery

This is a snippet of the guest room...so far.

Still have lots to add, but it's bright and cheery at the moment.

It has lots of white, taupe, and plenty of bright colors.

Notice the Charmingwall prints?

These gold leaf earrings were a gift from my BFF a few years ago. 

I still love them.

 This ring was thrifted a long time ago.

It goes with everything and best thing about it is it's AQUA.

...my fave color.

Not an Ordinary Weekend

We spent the holiday weekend down at my

parents lake house around Austin.

It was great to get away and relax in the sun.

Lots of good food and best of all....homemade ice cream!

Beautiful sunset during our evening ride in the boat.

I love this picture...bonding with his pup.

Terrible picture, but the best we could get on a rocking boat.

This was basically Shanks' routine the entire weekend.

Throw the toy, retrieve the toy, jump in water...repeat.

My handsome honey

Tired pup.

After we got home he slept like 20 hours straight.

It was nice to tire him out, because he's a ball of energy!

Kitty was glad that we came home.

Here she is laying on the countertop.
