Mansur Gavriel: How to Score a Bag During Restock Launches


Fresh snaps

Mood 🌺 🌺 🌺 For some reason when I took this photo in 2016, I didn’t like it. Questioning past me 🤔🤔. More of the same. #whpblackandwhite YOU ARE. 👆👆👆
Happy #internationalwomensday #worthy #soworthloving Demogorgon hunting at Hawkins Lab #strangerthings OPEN // Thai fare with a southern flair. I think my hubby winked at me during dinner and IM STILL SCREAMING 🗣💕 One more artsy photo because if I’m gonna get scolded for taking photos while sick... might as well fold it all into one. IN MY DEFENSE, JONATHAN YOU KNEW YOU MARRIED A CREATIVE DONT ACT SURPRISED. #lovemeforme #betchislost #notdelirious I’m sick and supposed to be resting. But I’m restless. AND EVEN THOUGH I know Jonathan is gonna scold me when he sees my insta I’M DOING THIS because it’s been a while since I did something artsy fartsy. #rebel #lovemeforme #betch
Someday, I’ll enjoy a sundae on a Sunday. But today, I’ll just stay warm. 😌 What’s work-life balance when work is life?

Cutest little shop out of an Airstream, but pretty sure they’ve closed or moved since then. ⠀

July 2016. Bonding over coffee and our favorite macarons. I don’t regret changing jobs. But that doesn’t mean I don’t miss being a short walk away from @octanecoffee. 😩 Mixed feelings.
It’s only taken a year (almost), but finally editing the last day of my four-day trip to Portland.⠀

I know, I know. I’m slow. Ice cream might just be a perfect way to end the week. My lovely friend Belinda started a blog @candidlyb. I was reminded of this space when she mentioned it took her five years to finally give it a shot. Congrats girl, and excited to see it evolve!⠀

And since it’s been forever since we’ve posted, here’s a photo from forever ago. Goodies from @cocoandmischa’s opening nearly a year ago.

Stars and the Sea

January 18, 2015 in Personal, Style
 "What the— it looks like I'm about to be mega-blastered."

"What the— it looks like I'm about to be mega-blastered."

The day was not off to a good start, as my morning search for cupcakes ended because the bakery was nowhere to be found. I instead turned off the access road and into a wall of sea monsters with a growling stomach at 10:20 am determined to "stick with the plan." An unexpected text then came from a friend for "dim sum at 11" meant 20 minutes to shoot because I NEVER turn down dim sum. And thus, these photos turned out to be best from the bunch. 

I try not to get worked up about perfection. Photos don't always turn out the way I envisioned them to be. Photo #2, for instance, was a product of clumsiness. In the course of 10 seconds, I leapt over a small ditch, tried to jump into a pose, and ended up losing my balance as the camera timer went off. Hence, the resulting "deer in headlights" look and completely awkward stance. This is not a pose that normal people do. Any witness to this one-woman circus show would have certainly gotten a laugh... or many.

The nice thing about personal style is that you can be whoever you want to be on any given day, regardless of mistakes. Today, I was channeling Super Secret Space Agent at Sea, so I promised myself nothing would get me down. Metallics have the ability to make anyone wearing them feel like a winner; so when I do wear them, I try to be a little bolder. Coupled with the universe on my chest, I mean to exude a thematic "to infinity and beyond." 

There won't be any other blog posts this week, but please stay tuned! It's going to be a busy week because I'm leaving Austin, TX in T minus 30 days.
