Skirt top

My oh my it sure is getting hot around here. We've had a surprisingly mild summer and that is starting to fade away as August gets closer. I can't wait to get out of this heat and visit Canada in 2 weeks. 

I got this little striped number at H&M and I'm not sure if it's a skirt or a tube top, but it looked good as both so I got it. I've mentioned before that I'm trying to add more pattern to my wardrobe and this skirt/top is a fun way to do that, while still being light enough to wear on a hundred degree day.

Lately according to Instagram

The other night Jim and I went to Milano Cafe, which is BYOB. We polished off this bottle of cab with our delicious Italian food.

Just a picture of Sammie being sweet, which doesn't happen super often. She has more of a cat personality and is pretty independent. Basically if you pet her where she doesn't want to be pet, she'll bite you.. actually she'll gum you because she doesn't have very many teeth.

Rocco got his BarkBox in the mail! This time it came with some treats and chew sticks, a bone shaped kong, a water bowl for traveling, and a smoothie treat.

Rocco has been pretty good lately about not jumping on the couch, but the other night he was acting really sweet and snuggly so I let him jump up. Probably not the best idea, because now he wants up all the time.

This is the inside of a new bar we went to called Whisler's. It's in East Austin, which Jim calls the dark side because parts of it are a little rough. Lots of new trendy bars have been popping up though and this place had amazingly unique drinks.

This little strawberry was my pride and joy, until I ate it. It grew from our tiny strawberry plant and we haven't gotten another strawberry from it yet, but I know the wait will be worth it.

Black and brown

When I was younger I hated when black and brown were mixed together, in any form. I cringed when I saw a man wearing black slacks with brown shoes. I also hated the colors yellow and purple together, but that's a different story. 

I've only recently been able to start combining the two colors together, starting slowly with tan and black (seen here). When I saw these black and brown wedges at Target I knew they were the push I needed to start mixing the two colors in my wardrobe. 

And look at me now, embracing black and brown together in one harmonious outfit.
