Happy Friday!

1. GREEK FEST: Yesterday marked the first day of the 46th annual Houston Greek Fest. This was one of my first and most favorite events when I moved to Houston last year. Gyros + wine by the bottle + Greek dancing = One amazing block party! See you there?

2. NEW HAIRCUT: In 1 hour and 6 minutes I will be walking into a salon and cutting my hair into what I hope resembles the above. I am nervous and excited all at the same time, but mostly excited. My inspiration was found on Into the Gloss (the most amazing product/hair/makeup blog that I am now OBSESSED with) and I hope that the cut will also make me resemble her? Even just a little...

3. UT FOOTBALL: Tomorrow morning my boo and I are getting up bright and early to make the trek to Austin, TX to hang with old friends and attend the WVU/TX game tomorrow night. He was raised an Aggie so this for sure is going to get weird. Let's just say there is also a high percent chance I will buy him a burnt orange shirt and guilt him into wearing it. Also, did you see that the high is like in the low 70s tomorrow? GO F-A-L-L!

4. LEATHER JACKETS: Speaking of fall, I cannot wait to break out my amazing leather jacket. It's the perfect weight for the faux Texas winter plue it makes me feel like a total rock star. This amazing Chanel jacket was spotted on the streets of FW, but let me be the first to say that the ones from ASOS.com look just as amazing (p.s. that is where mine is from). 

5. PAPER BAGS: Although I am not into this look, but thought it deserved mentioning as a WTF Trend (remember those?). The Jil Sander version is a whopping 300 bones and it is literally paper. The Celine version debuted this week on the runway of Celine and all I can say is... At least it's leather? But is still real-real ugly? And not practical? Like a mangled clutch? Don't do it friends. Unless you are going for that hobo look in which case go for it. At your own risk, of course.
