His attention to detail and his eye for the unique yet timeless make all of his pieces instant heirloom material. It took the beauty of his creations to re-inspire my blogging. Forgive me for my absence, but I have been feeling generally unmotivated due to unforeseen stressers, both good and bad, in my life.
Let's just say at the beginning of each new season I always get really jazzed about the upcoming trends and new goodies to buy. But I undoubtedly run out of money and pizzazz for the entire lot and experience burn out in the form of writer's block. It also did not help that it has been in the 80s in Houston until today (ahem, Dec. 10!) and that my skinny-single girl frame has been replaced with the comfy-fatty frame of a girl settled into and monogamous, cohabiting relationship. There is no one to blame but myself and my love for foods and general lack of self discipline. It's a 2 year vicious cycle that is neither good for my moral or body. So, I am going to attempt to swing the pendelum back toward moderation and work out and eat healthy most days. Also, I have found tremendous motivation and too-easy-to-not-do workouts on the Muffin Top-Less blog (thanks for that little gift, Pinterest and the Universe). Thanks for letting me vent you are the best.

'there should be meaning in jewellery for men. it should be -my significant other gave me this- or -my dad gave me this-
or you're in a band. if you're in a band, all bets are off. wear whatever you want.' he says in an interview with GQ magazine.
