FABULUSH

[Vintage Chloe Button Down, Ray Bans, Siwy Shorts, Louboutin Minibouts]

The weather has been beyond gorgeous lately; complete with sunshine, highs in the 80s, and gusty winds.  However, after my bout with the wind yesterday in a skirt (yes, skirt flew up above the head, ass out, arms full), I knew I’d be safer wearing shorts and a flowy top.  So in the midst of running errands, I decided on a photo op to show off my new shorts.

Thanks to the Denim Blog and @MichelleSiwy, I’ve been rocking these Siwy Madeline shorts in Lilt.  I have a love/hate relationship with shorts due to my potato legs.  Meaning, any potatoes/carbs/yummy fat goodness goes to my legs, hips, thighs, and my ass that won’t quit.  Yes folks, I’m pear shaped.  So while my leggy model friends are wearing essentially denim undies during the summer, I’ve got on a skirt to hide the behind.  I’m not the only one, am I?

I’m quite happy with how these Siwys make my legs look, but I wish I sized down to a 26 because they’re a little loose in the waistband (hence the stolen belt from my bro).  They are soft and cozy, perfectly distressed, and come with adorable extra paisley print pockets that I tucked up for the moment.  I’m off to enjoy the weather with a walk with my pup and to work on those potato legs.

And I’m off again… just down south to Austin for some SXSW fun with my birthday girl bestie.  Let’s just say I need a change of pace and a distraction from the daily life.  I haven’t been posting because well… who wants to hear about hospitals and sob stories? So farewell sick people, I’m off to dance to cares away!

My plans are to not make plans and just live in the moment.  And of course eat amazing Tex Mex, see Miike Snow, The XX, and of course the Perez Hilton Party, go buckwild on some awesome Austin thrift action, and lastly… Give my bestie a birthday she’ll never remember but can’t forget!

If you’re out and about, send me a tweet!

Instead of an emotional hiatus, I’m going to try to power through and suck it up and post. I’m currently traveling and figuring out life. Though I was the one who made the decision to leave, it hasn’t made it any easier. Thankfully, Jack and Cokes numb painfully long flights, memorable sunsets, and surprise “Welcome Back/Happy Belated Birthday” parties, Sprinkles, and caloric crazy cakeballs are all helping me cope. I have the most amazing people in my life, near and far, and I never want to take that for granted.

P.S.  Making slight changes to the site, hope you’re enjoying it!  Share on Facebook, ReTweet it, or leave a comment via Disqus because hey, I could use a little loving in my life about now.  ^_^
