Snowing in houston

It happened. Snow. In houston. This is two years in a row, pretty crazy! It's actually the most I've ever seen it snow, but remember this is also the 6th time I've ever seen it snow. Really this could be a perfectly normal amount of snow - I don't have much to compare it to.

Can I just add here that this is probably one of the top two coats I own? You can't see the whole thing, but I promise that it's awesome. And it was $8 at goodwill. It's calf length, wool, has nice&roomy pockets, and since it's black & white herringbone it matches 90% of all outfits I will wear in the winter. LOVE IT.

So far, more than half of my building has left for the day b/c of the fear of driving with snow. I'm the first to admit that I'm a little scared to drive home tonight and I only live 3 miles away. I had my hubby pick me up for lunch today b/c I was worried about being that person on the roadways.

Speaking of, we never have lunch together. Today was a big day: draw for World Cup! We went to watch at a wings restaurant for a party being sponsored by the local MLS team: free food & drink is what I'm talking 'bout. I was pretty excited about the FREE and I won a Houston Dynamo jersey. Sweet.




haha, I got an autograph & photo with one of the Dynamo players (Dominic Oduro). I should not have done it, but it looks like I scrunched down a little for the photograph. I had heels on and I guess didn't notice. I forget how small soccer players are, they are like little, sleek, bundles of running!

Today has been a super fab day for me and I hope you're having a good one too!

Team Spirit

My husband and I have been following the Houston Dynamo for the last couple of years and finally got season tickets for the 2009 season. We've loved it and actually just renewed our season passes for next year. Today was an important game with a sweet giveaway (scarf!) and so I trudged out ... even though I was going alone...hubby is traveling for work.

What's a girl to do? Take a photo before heading out!

Here is what I wore to Today's game:




It was raining for the last day and I went in full rain gear. Which worked out well, until the rain let up. Then I was a super sweaty hot mess...holy moley it was muggy today. I got the giveaway scarf, but don't think I'll be wearing it anytime soon.


Here's a close up of my earrings:




They are painted bottle caps & glitter! haha, they move around a ton when I'm cheering.

We didn't WIN win today, but we tied and that got us into the first round for the MLS championships. Yippee

Torquoise and Earrings

I spent last Thursday night at the bead shop crafting things. I made two necklaces, this is one of them. It's another knotted necklace. I liked the combo of turquoise with purple. I wore it on Friday...but it's tough to tell from the one photo I took that day.

I'm wearing it again today with my all over pink outfit.

The lighting is doing me no justice, but you get the point: this necklace goes with a lot of colors.

Do you see what else I'm wearing? Probably not, I need to zoom in....

More zoom? yep, more.

These are the earrings I selected for my winnings at Work With What You've Got. I love them! They are super light but big and dangly. Check out her Etsy shop LoveErinDesigns
