What I Wore: LBD

Happy Sunday!

I hope the weather is better where ever you are. After a few splendid days of sunshine in Austin, it is back to being rainy and cold. BUMMER. However, the good news is I can wear all of the sweaters that I have been purchasing at end of season sales. It is definitely a good day to stay in bed, and write blog posts!

I didn’t know I was on a mission to find the perfect LBD, until I saw this one. It was love at first sight! I now understand why

Three (okay Four) Things I Wish I Had Known in My 20’s: Patti Pao

PattiPaoPkg

Patti Pao had a major “aha” moment when visiting a salmon hatchery in Norway. They do say that you can find inspiration everywhere! While on a sight seeing tour, Patti noticed that the workers’ hands, which were submerged in water all day, looked smooth and ageless. She soon discovered that this was the result of a remarkable enzyme that occurs in nature to help salmon eggs hatch.

Patti, a beauty industry veteran, knew immediately

What I Wore: Plaid

Haha if you haven’t noticed, the titles to my posts are always very uncreative. I don’t know, but I have a hard time coming up with cutesy titles, so I just pick something super literal. I mean, at least you know what the post is going to be about.

So yes, in this post I am wearing a plaid shirt. This shirt is another one of those thrift store finds that has proven to be a great purchase. It is a men’s Ralph Lauren shirt that I scored for under $5 at Goodwill, and I wear it all the time

What I Wore: Leather Pants

If I could wear leather pants and 4 inch heels everyday, would I? Most definitely. However, the reality is, sometimes I need to actually function in the clothes I am wearing.

So, I wore this outfit last Monday because I needed a major pick me up after my vacay. Yes, going back to work can be a major buzz kill! If only, I could live a jet set life…Joking, joking. I am pretty happy to be back at work because I have some exciting things going on. I can’t wait to share them later in the year!

A Few Pictures from Paris…

I love Paris. On our first day there, we just sorta wandered aimlessly, and it was lovely. We probably walked a total of 5 or 6 miles, but it is the only way to see the city. While Paris is beautiful during the day, it is absolutely breathtaking at night…there is a reason it is called The City of Lights.

While I die for the food, coffee, history and art in Paris, the thing I love most is the effortless chicness of the Parisians people. Less is more.

If you plan on going to Paris, I have a few recommendations

Shahs of Sunset Tackles Some Big Issues

Soooo it is no secret that I am obsessed with reality TV. I pretty much love anything that is on Bravo. I have been watching Shahs of Sunset for sometime now, and each season I love it more and more. Yes, reality TV is rightly known for excessive drinking, bitch fights and random hook ups (Shahs of Sunset definitely has its fair share of the latter), but it is one of the few shows that deals with some very important issues.

To begin with, the show centers around Iranian Americans (both Jewish and Muslim) living in Los Angeles. While, yes,
