hook 'em.

today marks a big day in our household - UT vs. Texas Tech!!! hook 'em horns!!!!

wish list.

since the temperature has finally dropped below 90 degrees (HALLELUJAH!!!!), it's starting to officially feel like fall 'round theses parts. in honor of cooler temps, i've been perusing the web looking for some new fall pieces for my closet....i know, i know - jader and i JUST had the budget talk two nights ago. but, a gal can dream right? psht, heck yes she can. anyway, onto the pics!

gah - these are amazeballs. i seriously haven't purchased a pair of shoes from nine west in about three years....but i will say that my last trip there was magical. i met odyssey who sold me the cutest pair of red, suede flat. odyssey was so awesome that i promptly decided that i wanted to name my first daughter after her. i'll save that for another post....it's brought up all sorts of debate, teasing, and taunting (at my expense). anyhoo, aren't these peep toes just bananas??now these little dears may just actually end up in my closet. i am in NEED of some new black pumps. i've been wearing a pair of patent leather, kate spade mary-janes for probably three years now and while i absolutely love them, they are on their last leg. these suede calvin klein pumps are beautiful but the only potential problem is that they may be too high for work. i'm 5'11'' so these would put me close to 6'4''. thoughts?
what the what?? piperlime sells clothes now?? sounds dangerous. i heart piperlime - they've been good to me.

i love the plaid trend. i love that shirt has ruffles going for it too.

this one too.

this would be cute with some leggings and boots.

okay - that's enough day-dreamin' for now. i hope you guys have a great friday and a terrific weekend!

love.

max wanger.

holy geez, check out these engagement pictures!!! i absolutely adore joanna goddard's blog, cup of jo. she got married a couple of weeks ago and shared her engagement pictures around the same time. they are amazing! i love the balloon and the coloring of the pics. her photographer, max wanger, is fantastic. check out his blog, although i'd advise you to wait until you have hours of free time because it's hard to tear yourself away once you start looking.

decorative tape.

i am a huge fan of paper source, even though i have never stepped foot in an actual store**. their stuff is always so great and their blog always has really good ideas. check out their latest post on the new woodgrain decorative tape they are carrying. i love the idea of using them for cards.

check out the rest of their tape patterns:

black damask:
purple lace:
and my personal fave, chartreuse scrolls:

**there's actually only one store in texas - in dallas, to be exact. dear paper source peeps: please come to austin!!!
