One of the many reasons why I love Austin...

I think this video might help people understand why I love where I live...

The Head and the Heart- Down in the Valley

This band, The Head and the Heart, has recently captured my heart, and this song is one of my true favorites. I have it on repeat and just can't get enough...Luckily they will be playing in Austin at Stubb's, opening for The Walkmen on March 4th. I have a feeling seeing them live is going to make me fall in love even more...

Obsessed. That's all.

I am obsessed with this song right now. Just puts me in a great mood. Happy Thursday everyone! Off to Colorado, see you back on Tuesday!

Found this little treasure ironically at Monkey See, Monkey Do on South Congress. So cheap, and so perfect. I love it! It even comes in the plastic case just like a real cassette tape. Genius. Thank you Fred and Friends!

My new obsession.

Cheers to little sisters!

SO I must first apologize for my vacation from the blog—my blog-cation if you will. Things have been hectic, a bit stressful, and some things very exciting so my energy was focused elsewhere, but I am ready to jump back into blogging because it is one of my favorite things to focus my energy on. So today I want to give a shout out to my little sister, Averi. Today was her first day of classes of her senior year at Texas Tech. It is almost impossible to imagine that my baby sister is going to be a senior in college. Didn't I just graduate from college, like, yesterday? Oh, yea, it was 5 years ago! (nostalgic sigh) I know Averi is struggling to believe that she is almost done with college too. Yep Av, the real world is right.around.the.corner. Be afraid. Be very afraid...But in honor of Averi (who is also about to turn 21!) I would like for everyone to reminisce about their good 'ole college days. Whether that means reading a book in the library, going to a frat party, or attending a football game (drunk) I want you all to take a moment to think about those glory days. And if you try to tell me that you didn't have any fun in college, then you are lying. So, go on a bar crawl, shot-gun a beer, do a keg-stand, get drunk on a random Tuesday night, lie about your age,  pretend like you have no responsibilities or even take the walk of shame—we all know that college was the best time of our lives. And little sisters exist so the big sisters can live vicariously through their lives...So Averi, as we all sit here in jealousy, we want you to remember how good you have it! Enjoy your senior year and the last year on Mom and Dad's dime. I love you...and don't forget—Hotty Toddy!

The Temper Trap-Fader

A good cry...

Moments after my friend posted this on Facebook I was in tears. For 10 solid minutes I watched this, cried, and thought about what it must be like to serve our country and have to be away from your loved ones. I promise this will inspire you and hopefully make you take a moment to think about all of the soldiers putting their lives on the line for us, and our country.

I love lamp. And door.

These pictures are from the headquarters of Etsy located in Brooklyn, NY. Etsy also has offices in San Francisco and Berlin. It's no wonder Etsy's headquarters are an eclectic melting pot of ideas and decor. And a ping pong table?! Genius! I love these door ideas, especially the telephone booth door! It is definitely a cool, cheap way to make a door fun and stand out from other boring doors. The second picture is honestly one of my favorite things ever. I LOVE lamp! These lamps are so funky, and creative and I am dying, dying, dying to find one! And look—Etsy uses my same idea (yes, of course it was my idea. wink, wink) of decorating a wall with vintage records! (see June 24th post). It must be fate... Now I just have to figure out a way to work for Etsy so my house can look just like their headquarters. (And so I can live in San Francisco!)

Blog Recommendation: Catalog Living

http://catalogliving.tumblr.com

I thought I would do a post today to recommend another blog that I love. Catalog Living is so funny—in my opinion. But I will let you judge for yourself. Short and sweet posts, with one picture per post. Easy enough right? Well, if you haven't already been following Catalog Living then you must. It really will make you laugh. And mostly out loud. I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I do. We love you Gary and Elaine!
