Wish List: SXSW

Here in Austin it is evident that SXSW is gearing up to start. Buildings are being painted, temporary structures are being erected and my Facebook feed is blowing up with everyone's party RSVPs . As a local you might dread SX if you are trying to live your normal, everyday life. The town is flooded with sooo many people and driving downtown is pretty much impossible. But if you get the chance to take part in the festival, then do!

We have attended the last three year with music wristbands and it has been a blast! This year we opted not to get wristbands (trying to save money for that Europe trip) but we are still going to try and go see some free shows. I am a little nervous we won't get into as much stuff without wristbands but we are prepared for that and are just going to go and have a good time.

And, of course, with any festival there is lots of fun fashion. Next week you are bound to see all sorts of people and styles roaming the streets. Here is my wish list of what I would wear... luckily it's suppose to be in the 80s next week!

Dolce Vida dress, Linda Farrow Luxe sunglasses, KORS Michael Kors shoes, Michael Kors watch, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag - ShopBop, Hudson denim shorts - Hudson, Fresh 50's Blouse, Mint Scalloped necklace - Parc Boutique, Essie Where's My Chauffeur? - Essie

I'm Still Here...

I know, I know... I haven't been around lately. I promise I will be back tomorrow with a regular post. But, since I have been MIA lately, I thought I would share this amazing dress with you. I saw it online today and just can't get it out of my mind. I think my heart actually skipped a beat when I saw it.

Gucci

Now I just need to figure out a way to get my hands on $3,600 and find somewhere to wear this baby.

Anyway, here's what I've been pinning lately...

What I've Been Pinning This Week

Hi there! I hope everyone is having a happy Friday! My Mother-in-law is coming into town tonight and we are looking forward to getting dinner with her. But so far today is a lot less eventful than yesterday. Over breakfast I spent some time scrolling through Pinterest. I am addicted to this site, probably like a lot of you.

Anyway, here is what I've been pinning this week. Oh... and you can follow me on Pinterest here!

Baby It's Cold Outside

We never have long or severe winters in our part of Texas which means I rarely have to bust out my heavy duty winter clothes. Although, later this month we are going on a ski trip to Montana. I am so excited! In fact, I've already started thinking about what I need to pack. Here are a few items that are on my wish list to help me brave the snowy weather.

Eberhey PJs - Journelle, Sperry Boots - J. Crew, Fleece-Lined Leggings - Anthropologie, Scarf - Ann Mashburn, Hat - Aubin & Willis, Coat - Barbour

I'm not a huge skier, so I am mostly looking forward to spending time curled up in front of a fire with a book and some (spiked) hot chocolate.

Do y'all like the cold weather? Or do you live somewhere with long winters? What are your winter staples?
