Packing List To Nowhere

There's nothing like a big assignment due tomorrow to get me daydreaming of trips I won't be taking to far off places I won't be visiting. But being the ever-prepared, delusional person that I am, I figured the safest (notice I didn't say smartest) thing to do is to pretend-prepare for this imaginary getaway.

Crazy person is my name, stress-free packing for fictional trips is my game.

Orange You Glad...

... it's almost Fiesta time? By the end of this week, San Antonio will be in full Fiesta force. The city will be covered in Mexican paper flowers, margaritas will flow like water, and everything will be positively vibrant. During this time, everything about the city - the people, the parades, the parties - are full of color and life, so naturally I am full of inspiration just thinking about it.

Just Like Jackie

In case you missed it - Over the Moon asked me to style a collage inspired by Jackie & John F. Kennedy's New England nuptials last week.

I haven't gotten into CNN's documentary series The Kennedys yet, and I personally consider myself more of a Grey Gardens fan than a Jackie O. aficionado.  But after watching Jackie, the biographical drama with Natalie Portman, I felt compelled to include this little trinket box from Hill House Home - because even the forever-remembered First Lady style icon needs a little spunk.

I Believe In Pink

And I also believe in the power of human resilience - even in the face of something so relatively trivial and insubstantial as the fact Instagram recently removed the capability to "like" a photo in order to receive an email with the shop-able products I feature.

What's a gal to do? Well, besides shopping directly from this website, you can also download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app from the App Store and follow me [@upthegetup] on there, which will allow you to shop the products in each collage. 

Carry on, comrades.

Is It Summer Yet?

I feel like an annoying kid on a road trip - are we there yet? But waking up on this cold and rainy 55ยฐ Houston morning has me wanting to press fast forward. My antsy pants is ready for summa-summa-summa-time and apparently so is my closet.
