We were in Dallas last weekend for a family wedding. It pretty much rained 85% of the time there but we did manage to take some time out to explore the city. Despite the rain (which cut our exploring time short), the city of Dallas is so pretty. I love the Continental Avenue Pedestrian Bridge. It is the perfect weekend spot for a little jog along the bridge or for families and friends to hang out at. Too bad about halfway across the bridge, it started pouring down hard so we made a beeline back to our car for cover. Hopefully next time we take a trip to Dallas, we will have more dry and sunny days to explore the city.

On another note, it looks like Houston will be having a very warm Thanksgiving. I don't think I mind too much. I've spent more time hibernating during these cold days than being active.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you all have an amazing Thanksgiving!

What's Old Becomes New

Top: Dolce Vita (similar) / Shorts: Forever 21 (similar) / Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli / Heels: Lulu's (similar) / Necklace: J Crew / Sunglasses: Prada / Cuffs: Baublebar & Lulu's /Ring: Wanderlust + Co

Yay....it's almost the weekend again!

These pictures were actually taken last Sunday as we stroll around the city and found some colorful wall arts. We also stopped by to look at Bethel Park located in the Fourth Ward area of Houston. This hidden gem was once a Baptist church until it got burned down in 2005. What remains after the fire is now preserved as a city park and it is pretty amazing!

With summer beating down so quickly, I found this outfit hidden in my closet while sorting out all my clothes for donations. The top and shorts were worn so often last year but have since been forgotten and I don't know why. This reminds me that I need to shop my closet more because often, what's old becomes new again.

Thank you for stopping by as always and enjoy the weekend!

Under the Boardwalk

Top: Dolce Vita (similar) / Shorts: J Crew Factory / Bag: Ted Baker / Sandals: Just Fab (love these) / Necklace: Kendra Scott c/o Rocksbox (use code 'quynhttran' for your first month FREE) / Bracelets: Henri Bendel & Gorjana c/o Rocksbox / Ring: Wanderlust + Co c/o Rocksbox

I can't tell you how much I am loving the shorts weather right now. Well, lets see if I'm singing the same tune in the coming months with the beating heat of Summer. I've been on the hunt for cute printed shorts like these boardwalk shorts from J Crew Factory. The fun prints really liven up any outfits and are so comfortable to roam around in for all the warm days ahead.

Also, my 2nd month of Rocksbox was an even greater success than the first! I loved everything I received and wish I could keep them all but my wallet says no. I ended up purchasing the Wanderlust + Co triple cage ring because I could not bare to let it go.

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your Tuesday!

Hello and hope you guys had an amazing weekend!

On Saturday, we had some errands to run in the Museum District so we made the most of it while we were there and visited the Menil Collection. Though small in collection, the museum houses some amazing paintings and sculptures and rare antiquities from the tribal of Africa, medieval worlds, and so on. There is no entrance fee so if you ever visit Houston or in the area, it is definitely worth a look. We were told no photography in the museum so sadly, we were not able to capture any shots while in the building.

New Year

Jacket: Barney's Orginals (similar) / Top: Forever 21 / Skirt: Forever 21 / Boots: Dolce Vita / Purse: Michael Kors / Necklaces: Baublebar, c/o 9thandElm

I hope you guys had an amazing Holiday week.

Having five days off felt so great but still seems so short. I still cannot believe we are only two days away from ringing in the new year. We still don't have any big plans for New Year's Eve celebration (may end up being a low key night), so I don't really have an outfit planned out yet. 2014 has been an amazing year and I hope 2015 will be even better!

Thank you so much for stopping by, have a fun and safe NYE celebration, and I will see you guys next year!

XOXO

Star Light, Star Bright

Sweater: Forever 21 (similar) / Leggings: Uniqlo / Boots: Dolce Vita / Scarf: Forever 21 (similar, similar) / Purse: Coach / Watch: Michael Kors / Bracelet: Baublebar

We walked around Downtown Houston on Sunday and saw these nice (unlit) stars. Even though it was not lit up until nighttime, it still made for somewhat a nice, festive background for pictures.
Also, I am loving this lace-trim sweater from Forever21. A few people commented on my good layering skills until I told them that it's just one whole sweater. No layering skills involved here! I kind of regretted not getting it in the other colors before it sold out but I've found an almost exact match (a little pricier but maybe even cuter) from Urban Outfitters that I may be making a purchase very soon.
Hope you guys have a great Monday!
