Boiling Point

It's getting to the point in whence we dress as cute as we can while also 

being as naked as we can.

Praying for a Patio

It is precicely this time of year and the amidst the evening that makes me miss my old patio.

I love being warm. I love the gusts of warm wind that've been stirring

up lately. I miss being able to step onto a little outdoor space.

 I find porches in the summer to be much like steamy showers.

 A place you pontificate and a place of peace. 

I only have these huge windows, and I feel like a jackass stretching my head more 

than a foot out of them just so I can feel a summer breeze! 

Plus, I feel like a total creep just sitting looking out of my open window. With a porch you can

just sit there and own that shit, but it's different with a window. 

So I find myself smoking copious amounts of cigarettes 

just so I can be all like, "Yeah, there's a reason I'm sitting at my window 

starring at the street...nonya' biness....I've got things to attend to by my window, can't you see?!"

With all these thunder storms I've been envious of everyone's facebook posts like this:

"Just sippin on the sizurp on my patio in the storm"

Anyhoo, in lieu of my non-existant outdoor escape, I'm posting these.

Sometimes, you don't even need a patio. Just two chairs, ya heard?

Happy weekending.

Spare Parts

 This was the best weekend I've had this summer. This past week I had to make
 a pretty tough decision concerning finances/jobby-job thangs.
After seeking counsel from many wise ones I am blessed to  know,
I went with what was weighing on my heart to do....which was a bit scary. 

This entire weekend has been filled with affirmation from what
I choose to call God (you can call it what you want).
I asked for a sign and I got tons of them. It made me so immensely grateful. 

And now the trick is to not look back. 

Now! Onto something a bit more light hearted!

I got two free tickets to Spare Parts, a show in which Jonathan donated a piece.
It was at The Belmont, which is my favorite Dallas Boutique Hotel,
and was catered by smoke. Yummy BBQ. 

  

Shorts: Cut off thrifted pants, Bag: Dolly Python, Shoes: Steve Madden

Shirt: Chelsea and Violet, Glasses: F21,

 Jewelry: Too much to specify, I'm sure they were all gifts or thrifted or F21 or Penney's. 

Upon parking, Haley and I found some bikers, and solicited their photography skills 

so we could pose like jackasses. 

The whole idea was found objects or junk recreated into art thangs for our viewing pleasure!

This one is Jonathan's. 

The pieces surrounded the pool, and the lawn over looked the Dallas skyline. 

One of the best spots for an event in town.

Fish with a spatula tail!!! WUT?

Oh yeah, the Mavs are world champions. 

SUCK IT MIAMI. 

luv,
