FABULUSH

[Circa 2007/2008 at the Setai in South Beach]

Oh shit… the stars and planets must be aligned because… My twinks and I are in the same town. This could only mean one thing: debauchery all over Dallas.

We met at SMU in our marketing classes in Business school early on, had study sessions with champagne, got ridiculous college nicknames such as “Blackout and Tank” (I will let you guess, who is who), and our friendship continued on. These days, we rarely get to see each other as much since we’re on separate coasts, but when we do, we pick up like we never left each other’s sides.

She’s seen my ups and downs, my shortcomings and some of my proudest moments, and everything far and few in between. I swear this little lady will be my maid of honor; that is if I ever find a man lucky enough to hang with me for a lifetime. If that isn’t in the mix, then I’m blessed to have such an amazing best friend to share some of the most amazing memories with.

Love you Twinks!

Working on some distribution and marketing spreadsheets and reports for a client today… obviously I’m being productive.  It’s too gorgeous to not be outside.

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!
