WIWW: Shoe Craving + Link Up

Wednesday, September 16, 2015

Can you tell I'm ready for fall?
According to men, woman have plenty of shoes. According to a woman, you can never have enough. Thankfully God made me a woman, so I will never have enough. Sorry Chris!

In my mind something feels wrong about wearing sandals after September. Yes, Texas can still swim in October, but I feel like ditching the sandals is like humans forcing fall to arrive.

I've been eyeing new booties for weeks now. I couldn't justify buying them when it was still 100 outside, but now that I can see cooler temps ahead, I am ready to pull the trigger and pick out a pair. Sam Edelman has been a fan favorite lately and I'd have to agree.

I know it doesn't really snow here in Texas. We get our once a year the whole town ices over and life stands still weeks, but can't a girl have a need for winter boots with the fur? I mean how cute are ALL of these?!

I'm also taking suggestions for favorite booties! Comment and let me know what you're loving!

PS: If anyone in my family is reading this - it is September and you probably want to start Christmas shopping and, since I'm such a kind person, I just provided you with several options for Santa to pack under the tree. Or you can just give them to me now. I won't mind :)

Now for the link up!

Life Update || Weddings and Food

Tuesday, September 15, 2015

I'm going to start by saying I am missing these people. And Mexico. But mainly these people. I wish I was back in college with these two just living the college kid dream.

School is exhausting, as every teacher would say, and I', trying to soak in these last days of summer by not being huddled behind a computer. I'm sure when the winter months are upon us I'll be blogging about my cabin fever, but for now I am going to relish in these final days of mild temps and sunshine.


Last weekend my Mom and Aunt were in town for my cousin's wedding. I took them to the McKinney Square and we shopped and had pizza. It might have been my third time to have pizza in four days, but we don't judge here, so I'm not worried :)


Saturday was the third wedding I've been to in four weeks. Yes, you read that right. During this chapter of our lives it seems to be wedding season all year long. At my cousin's wedding, instead of cake, they served cookies and milk. Y'ALL, these were the best cookies I have ever had...and I've had a lot of cookies. You can bet I'll be hunting down their caterer and finding out where I can order these babies. The white chocolate macadamia nut did not stand a chance. 


Sunday we finally unpacked our bags from Mexico and cleaned the house. Chris was outside for a really long time and I kept hearing the mower stop and start, so I figured I'd go out and see what what going on....


Imagine me as the monkey emoji covering my eyes. #emabrrassing. I'm expecting a letter from the HOA any day now and all fingers are pointing to the Mr.

That's all I've got for today! Happy Tuesday, friends!

Mexico Recap

Thursday, September 10, 2015

Last Thursday we loaded up and headed to beautiful Cancun, Mexico for my cousin's wedding. This was the first time my WHOLE family has vacationed together and it did not disappoint. Five days of family fun is just what the heart needed. 

The wedding was at the Finest Playa Mujeres resort. The whole resort is absolutely breathtaking. We booked a swim-up room which I highly recommend. Being able to walk out the door and hop in the pool is exactly what vacation is all about. 

The food was okay. I'm not going to lie and say there weren't some meals that we didn't like, but I'll also say that none of us went hungry :) Their ice cream is to die for!

Chris and I had the best time unplugging from technology and spending quality time with our family. My brother and Chris are two peas in a pod and broke the rules just about everyday. From not wearing the appropriate clothes to making a pillow wall on the hammock to jump over, they were constantly being told to stop doing something. At one point there were about five men with ear pieces staring at us while we were in our swim-up pool because they were preparing to tell the boys to stop jumping over the hammock. It was quite hilarious!

We spent our days lounging at the beach and pool, burning at the beach and pool, playing beach volleyball, playing tennis, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, maneuvering our own catamaran, snorkeling, napping, ordering room service, and ordering fruity drink after fruity drink.

I'm not sure when our next vacation is, but I'll be dreaming about the clear waters of Cancun for weeks to come!
