Houston's Live Stock & Rodeo Show!


Aaron & I posted up outside the grounds of last Saturday's rodeo. Of course, when I packed for the weekend I WOULD forget my cowboy boots :/ 
No worries though. I still looked cute with my little nude suede F21 flats, American flag crop top and homemade high-waisted cutoff shorts.

And no doubt, the best accessory to my outfit... my cutie of a boyfriends ;)

Austin Love


Austin, TX is not where I'm from and it's not where I grew up, but it's got my heart :)

My roommate and I currently go to school at Texas State, as I've mentioned before. We probably almost lost our lives by catching this moment, but whatever. 
I love how the strip of South Congress leads directly to the Capital building. You can barely see it in the picture, but at night it is something to see. 

That day was a pretty relaxing day soaking up the city before we hit the Spring Break nightlife crowd. Grabbing a slice at Home Slice and listening music from every corner for a mile every way you turned from SXSW. 

I love this picture.

Spring Break Outfit of the Day


It's Spring Break and the sun is shining for me today! Finally, I get to wear shorts outside without developing frostbite...just kidding. 
This is Texas, but DAMN!

Anyway, Fedora and shoes are F21, the top is Cotton On and my jewelry is Stella and Dot. 

--------------------> HYPE me to the right if you like this outfit!

Zucchini Noodle Spaghetti Recipe


    
Tonight for dinner I made zucchini spaghetti with roasted broccoli on the side.

Don't get me wrong, I loved my dinner and I thought it was delicious. It's just really odd to me to not have a dinner roll to soak up my spaghetti sauce or to eat regular noodles. Even after I ate my meal and drank a full glass of water, I'm still kinda hungry. I don't feel full and all I want is toasted with melted butter on it. This is really going to be a challenge. 

Zucchini Spaghetti

Put onto a cooking sheet evenly and set the oven to 375 degrees to cook for about 10-15 minutes

Need: 1 zucchini
Cut in half

Cut the halves in half

Slice from top to bottom into thin strips

I cooked them in the oven at 375 degrees

Served with ground turkey meat sauce and hand-grated mozzerella
