Houston Brides - Wedding Style Featuring TheWellSet.com

You know when you work really hard on something and then it pays off? That is how getting featured in Houston Brides felt. Only more surreal. They contacted me last October and sent the wonderful photographer, Laurie Perez, to my house to shoot me. Then I worked with the amazing editor, Melanie Warner, on the content. It was so fun and easy! That being said, I was really nervous on how it would turn out... Would I look fat? Would I sound dumb? You know, the usual crazy woman thoughts. 

Well, the feature just debuted and I could not be more thrilled. After spending so much time getting others published it is really interesting being on the other side of the lens. Interesting in a good-introspectivly-self-critical sort of way. Big thank you to Houston Brides and all my friends at Houston Magazine that recommended me for the piece. You're the best!

Musical Musings: For the Foxes, Hurts, & Noah and the Whale

Who can forget my Micky Avalon stage? I think I saw him twice that year?
This pic is so old it was taken on an actual camera-camera. It was taken at Emo's in Austin in 2008.

It's no secret that my love of music can be obnoxious at times. Just about every roommate I have ever had has disparaged my constant jamming of tunes (at least you said you liked it?). That includes my husband. Music get's me through tough times and that especially includes every weekday morning between 7 and 8 am. 

I'll never forget driving through UT campus with Jennah as freshmen and cranking the music and rolling down the windows. She was embarrassed. I was floored. It was music how I had always listened to it: loud, sunroof open, and on repeat. What could possibly be embarrassing about that?

Lately my taste steer more towards easy listening, alternative, indy music. When I am not on a rap bender, that is. Here's a few of my latest obsessions. Enjoy!
