More Sick Dudes

I'm pretty sure I'm going to make this a regular thing. At least once a month. 

I stumble upon too many incredible photos of reeeaal sick dudes not to share. 

In case you don't know what a "sick dude" is....

to put it simply, it's a guy who don't give no ef, and for the purposes of this blog,

 who has mad style.  It could be that random homeless man 

riding his bike wrapped in aluminum foil...it could even be your own dad. 

For examples, see below:

THE SPECIALS

Multiple layers in the front.

Giant reflective sunglasses.

Their facial expressions in general.

The guy in the back has no front teeth. He's rockin it HARD. 

LEONARD BERNSTIEN

He's about to kick over that mic and Catch the moon with a one-handed catch. 

Also, his boots are super-fly. 

Please tell me you got that reference to West Side Story

 DENNIS HOPPER AND NEIL YOUNG

Double Doubler. 

You wish you could find anything either of them are

 wearing on ebay for under $80.

Dennis Hopper could've been at his most ultimate sickest in Water World. 

Note: Eye Patch. 

 ERNEST HEMMINGWAY

No explanation here. 

DESHAWN STEVENSON

Just because you have a neck tattoo, doesn't make you a sick dude

But if that neck tattoo is Abe Lincoln it does!

(A neck tattoo of Abe Simpson would also work). 

JOHN STEINBECK

Any man who can sport a Captains Hat AND a Standard Poodle 

wins my heart forever.

Speaking of sick, J bought stripped harem pants from the ladies section 

at Buffalo Exchange today. He's so damn sexy. 

My Happy Place

I'll start with a video the day after the wedding. One of my favorite days. Just watching

everyone hang out and fly kites with wizards on them.

One of the best things about living on the beach is the amount of Robe wearing that

commences. It's abundant. Every morning = crosswords and robes. Walk on

the beach? Let me grab my robe. BBQ? I hope I don't get sauce on my robe! It is so much my

favorite thing, that we got them for everyone that stayed in the house, and then some.

It's hilarious to see over ten grown adults wandering around in matching robes. 

Me and J in the morning with ice coffee on the back porch, and the girls in the eve 

watching the sunset on the front porch.  

(No make-up-day-at-the-beach faces. Pleaze don't be upset, ladies).

Anastasia Island hugs the coast of the mainland. It is less than a 1/2 a mile wide in some parts, so 

you have the view of the inner-coastal on one side, and the Atlantic is on the the other. 

Here is our front porch at sunset. The photo does it absolutely no justice. 

and our back porch mid-day. 

The porch completely wrapped around the house, so Delilah held her post as guard

when she wasn't laying in the sun.

Here's another thing: the beach makes your hair look RAD.

I understand that there are a lot of Florida haters out there. I mean, it does have 

a bit of a white trash rep. I love it though. You can walk into the grocery store with no

shoes, and no one judges you. However...St. augustine is a very special place, and most other 

parts of Florida I'm not a big fan of. It's the oldest city in the U.S.

Here are somethings it has to offer:

Hippies with Dogs:

(This one might not appeal to everyone).

Quaint Vintage shops:

Secret Gardens:

Beautiful views from Martini Bars:

Handsome men eating pecan pie at Organic Restaurants:

Cute girls at local bars:

 This is where I am happiest.

The beach is big and clean, and this is actually the most crowded I've ever seen it. 

Me and Del representin Texas. 

Crowd Pleaser

I wore this to work today...which was fabulous. You see, they are rearranging 

some things around the styling room, so there was really no place to work. 

There was just mess...everywhere.

Instead we got to go visual shopping. 

I love my job. 

So wandering around North Park, at least 9 people stopped me to 

tell me they loved this skirt and/or outfit. What's with it? I mean, I'd like to think 

I look pretty cute everyday, riiiiight?

Maybe it's because this outfit is so feminine and maybe disarming? ANYhoo,

they were all disappointed to find out the skirt is from Topshop, and we

don't have one in Dallas. (Just order online, people)!

It originally had silk lining underneath, but I cut that business off, 

and now it's all translucent and whimsical and a bit sexier. 

Simple DIY if you get bored with a skirt or dress.

One of my favorite shirts. I love the intricate detail around the collar and it's perfectly pink. 

I found it at a thrift store in which some old asian lady unloaded all her goods, cause it was 

surrounded by kimonos and other shirts of the same manor. 

THANKS, LADY!

 This is my favorite charm bracelet. I really have an affinity for 

charm bracelets. They have such a lady-like quality to them, but when you 

think about it.... little gold pigs and wishing wells and naked babies shooting arrows 

are hanging from your wrist. It's absurd! 

My earrings are pelicans. Win. 

My camera is not on a timer in the above photograph. 

(lie to match the quintessential "natural" not-a self-portrait-face in the above photograph).

I kinda half-tried on the shoes with this one. Gold flip-flops. Easy. 

I'm warning you about more wedding photos (because you care???). They are on their way, 

just thought an outfit post might be refreshing.
