Stripes of Endearment

In case you were worried sick that my love affair with stripes had fizzled, fear not. I've written about my preference for the pattern before, and my feelings are just as strong as ever. The quintessential summer wardrobe staple, the classic design, the crisp and clean lines - everything begets me to stripes.

The Summer Weekend Escape

My personal favorite part about the summer season is the weekend escape. Something about the three-month vacation you used to have as a student mentality lingers on, leaving me absolutely antsy pants come every Friday. So whether its by road or air or sea, I'm ready to pack my bags and get going... to anywhere, really. 

So when Over the Moon asked me to put together a weekend-in-the-Hamptons packing list-collage, I tapped into that get-me-outta-here state of mind and blew some dust off the ole' I went-to-Talkhouse-back-in-my-day memories. And so I leave you with some words I *literally* just came up with: nothing is worse than getting to your destination and realizing you forgot to pack something, and nothing is better than having all you need (for 48 hours) in a carry on.

Amapola @ Bebidas

I'm blessed to have many a talented cuzzin-from-my-huzban', one of which is the face, hands, and eyes behind the beautiful bouquet-delivery & flower-arrangement brand Amapola.  Amapola is San Antonio-based, but will soon be offering seasonal flower delivery to all major Texas cities.  The bouquets are romantic and whimsical - the perfect centerpieces for your summatime dinner parties and festive fandangos.

This Saturday, Amapola is stopping in Houston (deets below!) to host a flower arrangement workshop at Bebidas, mi favorito juice & coffee bar (was I there this morning? maybe... if maybe means yes).  Come create your own arrangement while sippin' on a smoothie - or just come sneak a peek from afar. The vibes, flora, and food will be on point  - as will be the girl who will surely be covered in pollen and hopped up on too much caffeine (me).

A Royal Honeymoon

Happy MDW, my peoples. Hopefully you all are chilling out, maxin' & relaxin' all cool somewhere that would call for a wardrobe like this one.

But just in case you're spending this Monday wondering what the Duchess of Sussex would be packing for her eventual honeymoon getaway (because who isn't?), Over the Moon and I have done the leg work (or rather, click-and-shop work) for you. Which leads me to wonder who the mail-receiver at Nottingham Cottage is and if Meg has a deal worked out with him to hide packages from Harry. Not because I may or may have not have taken advantage of these MDW sales, but just because I'm wondering, ya know... 

Long Weekend Awaits

What's that, you ask? Why, that would be a pep in my step. The cause being a three-day weekend, the three magic words to turn any frown upside down. Especially for this girl, who relishes that sweet 72-hour glimpse of freedom more than your average employee. Praise be, indeed.
