Pinterest Parties???

Here is a quick stat for you...Pinterest is now considered the third most popular social network in the U.S. behind Facebook and Twitter!!

Now... I am guilty as charge, but this new trend has eluded me!

Pinterest addicts...ever heard of Pinterest parties??!?!?

I just heard of these yesterday and couldn't wait to get the blog world's thoughts on them!

Essentially it is a party where addicts step away from the cyber pinning and pin in real life!

Stations for tips on tablescapes, hair tutorials, fashion and make-up advice and even jewelry making are set up in an open space where people {let's face it... mostly woman} can mingle and live in the Pinterest world for an evening.

{Don't forget yummy Pinterest inspired recipes and cocktails!!}

What sounds better than all the fun of Pinterest combined with good friends! I don't know about y'all, but I am ready to plan my first Pinterest party!!

What do y'all think about this trend? Would you have one?

Summer is here!

Well it's April in Houston and that means it might as well be summer, because it is hot as hell already!

I don't about y'all, but I love everything about summer {well maybe not everything...not the sweating or the way the humidity makes me look like I stuck my finger in a light socket...but thats besides the point!}

What I do love are the bright colors...the sun on my skin...the sleeveless sun dresses...the open toed shoes...driving with the windows down, listening to Chris Young serenade me with his super sultry voice that is so...whoa sorry I got carried away!

{don't believe me?...listen to this and tell me you don't swoon over that voice!}



Now that you are all die hard Chris Young fans :) here are some more things I am loving for this summer!

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this color combination and wish this was in my closet as we speak!

Wouldn't these be perfect out by the pool! Pinned here

Perfect for a day on the boat or at a picnic...I LOVE the crochet look...I need something that is crocheted...shoes...shorts...dress...pronto! Pinned here

I think I love the neon trend almost as much as I love the crocheted trend...especially in nail polish! Pinned here

Lastly.....

EVERYONE needs one of these disgustingly cute babies to play in the yard with on those gorgeous summer days!

ps - here is a video of my baby now

A friendly visit

Remember this post?

That was just one stop on a girls only shopping/eating/drinking spree that me and one of my best friends had when she came to visit me a few weekends ago!

There she is!! The cutie on the left is my Baylor bear friend I went to visit here

Anyways...I digress...she came in for a job interview and we decided to make the most of the weekend

FIRST STOP - ALTO

If you know me, you know that food is my friend :) and if it's in a new restaurant then I. AM. THERE!

Here is what we started with...

We ate it so fast I can't even remember what was all on it, but it is one of the best pizza's I have had in a LONG time!

And as much as I loved the pizza, I can honestly say I forgot all about the pizza when they brought these puppies out

WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED???

If you are out one evening and you are looking for a great atmosphere try Alto - you will love the live music, personable service, upscale ambiance (without the upscale prices!), not to mention food that is out of this world!

...whoa I talked about that restaurant waaay more than planned...let's move on

We also decided to have a night in one night, but don't worry, it definitely involved food (AND dessert!) and maybe a margarita or two!

Needless to say we ate our way through the weekend with a few pit stops to buy some unnecessary crucial items!

Love you Allison!! Can't wait to see you soon!
