Position / Job title?: Owner and Designer of Elise by Elise 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was very little, I wanted to be a Veterinarian because I loved animals so much. By the age of 9 or 10, I definitely wanted to be a clothing designer. 2. Fast-forward several years/decades. How did you land (or create) your current position? I worked I have been feeling pretty uninspired lately. Work has really slowed down because of the holidays, which has been super nice. I didn’t realize how much I needed a break. This past week, all I have done is hang out with my friends/family, eat tortillas with queso, and haven’t really changed out of sweatpants. It has been perfect. This is an outfit I wore a few weekends ago to brunch. I wanted to wear something comfortable/easy, yet I wasn’t in the mood to wear jeans again.

I obviously come to Laredo to visit my grandparents, but the tortillas at Danny’s are definitely the icing on the cake…SO GOOD. I have only been in Laredo for 24 hours, and I have already been to Danny’s twice…don’t judge.

Position / Job title?: Creator + CEO, blingsting 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I always saw myself as a mom, which is funny, because I am like the last of any of my childhood girlfriends to actually get there. No wait, I am the only one of my childhood girlfriends who isn’t married with Even though I am Jewish, Christmas is still my favorite holiday. Why? Because it allows me to catch up on fun things like blog posts. It is the only day of the year that I have absolutely no obligations because obviously no one is working (yay! no e-mails) and all of my friends are busy with their families. It is so nice. I have a confession: I have lived in Austin for over 2 years, and until last weekend, I had never shopped at two of Austin’s vintage staples: Blue Velvet and Room Service. They are Yup, it is that time of year again: cold season! I know, SO FUN! This would be the worst week ever to get sick; you don’t want to miss out on Christmas AND New Years. What a terrible way to end 2013, and start 2014. As I have mentioned a million times, I am terrible in the kitchen; recipes overwhelm me. However, when I saw these cold fighting juice recipes from Omega Juicers, I had to post them because they are SO easy. Each one only involves a few ingredients that you can just throw into your blender As with everything in my life, there is always a story. Here is the story about my hair. I swear finding a good hair stylist is harder than finding a soul mate. Or maybe I was just majorly spoiled because I had the best hairstylist EVER in NYC. No matter what crazy hairstyle I wanted, she had no problem making it happen. Since moving to Austin, one of my biggest complaints is that there are A LOT of hair salons, but not many great stylists. Total white girl problem, I know. I am a trend chaser. Wait, is that a real phrase or did I make that up? When it comes to clothes, I always must have the weird, new things that no one else wants because they will be out of style in like a month. I have been eying various pairs of wedge sneakers for a good 6 months now. However, I just didn’t really want to spend tons of money on them. Well, lucky for me, the pair I wanted from Target, went on sale for $10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was like I had won the lottery. Side note: if I woke up this morning feeling a little bit like SuperWoman. On normal mornings, I press snooze a few dozen times, begrudgingly drag myself to the gym, and don’t really feel fully alive till I have consumed at least two very large cups of coffee. Today was different: I rolled out of bed as soon as my alarm went off, made it to the gym on time for my class, and now I am listening to Katy Perry’s “Roar” on repeat. I think all this Christmas cheer has gotten to me. So, when I realized that I had scheduled Read More
