Home is where the heart is

I’ll admit it – I have a weird fascination with seeing inside people’s homes. I think you can learn a lot about a person by seeing how they live. I love to see how they decorate and what kind of interesting things they have lying around. Therefore, I thought it might be fun to take some pictures indoors for a change. Welcome to my humble abode!

On most any weeknight you can find me doing this exact thing – laying on the couch and reading a magazine. Today it happens to be Glamour, which is my absolute favorite!

What you will instantly learn about me from stepping inside my place – I’m slightly obsessed with Audrey Hepburn, I love to color coordinate, I enjoy furniture/decor shopping as much as I love fashion, and I am kind of a neat freak (which doesn’t ever stop me from apologizing for “my mess” any time someone comes over).

So now – can we talk about this adorable dress?! It’s yet another great find from Langford Market – Heights. Sorry there’s no shoes in this post but honestly, who wears shoes at home? Just keeping it real, guys.

Trend to try: Unexpected prints

July 16, 2012 By shopandtwirl 20 Comments

I blame this outfit on Katy Perry. On any normal day, I would never buy this top. I’d want it, of course, but I’d tell myself that I’m a 26 year old woman and shouldn’t be wearing such a girlish print with heels and purses on it. But it wasn’t any normal day when I found this gem at Wish – this was the day I saw the Katy Perry movie. I got all “inspired by her weirdness” or whatever and decided…you know what? I love heels and purses, so I’m buying it. And I freakin’ love headbands (I don’t care if Blair Waldorf is over them), so I’m wearing one. And this entire look is adorable. It’s me.

I know not everyone will be daring enough to wear such a print, but there are tons of other more sophisticated options out there to try (like polka dots!). An easy way to wear a fun print is to pair it with a neutral item (like this navy skirt).

Talking heads

Lately it’s been raining nonstop in Houston with no end in sight, but by some miracle the sun decided to come out and play just long enough for my BFF El and I to take these awesome pics. One of the joys of living in Houston is that there’s always something new to discover – like this sculptor’s studio space that happens to be situated right behind a Target store. Fun, right?

As far as the outfit goes, summertime has been all about simple dresses for me. I found this adorable one at Langford Market (Heights location) and I can’t rave about that store enough. So many adorable clothes that definitely fit my budget (this dress was $40). I love the interesting detail on the back (see below).
