WHERE ARE THE CREPES?

One of my favorite things to do on Saturday mornings is visit my local farmers market at the Pearl Brewery.  There are so many fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from and the venders are so sweet!  The highlight to this farmers market for me is stopping by the table where they make and sell fresh crêpes! As soon as I got to the market I literally ran to the section where they usually set up, only to find that no one was there....NO ONE WAS THERE SELLING CREPES.  IT WAS SO TRAGIC.

Since there were no crêpes to be found, I had to settle for a blueberry lemon muffin and coffee..which were still equally delicious!

"LAST MINUTE" IS MY MIDDLE NAME

// boots: dsw // jeans: target // shirt: american eagle // bag: thrifted //

Took a walk downtown San Antonio, Texas to take some photos for a last minute art project that I had due.  Decided to wear my comfortable yet cute buckle ankle boots that I got at DSW last year, I wear these pretty much everyday! 

and of course when you walk around all day it means you need to eat something delicious! This chocolate chip coffee cake from Einstein Bros Bagels was literally the best coffee cake I have ever eaten in my life...

WHY YOU'RE NOT BECOMING WHO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE

A couple weeks ago it hit me really hard.  There was always this nagging at the back of my mind telling me that I wasn't at my full potential, that I knew I could be so much more.  It wasn't until recently that I really realized that dang, I am not completely who I want to be.  I always had this image when I was younger that by this time in my life I would be so much more outgoing, daring, and adventurous (3 things that I had never been in my life before). So why wasn't I this person?

 There are steps you can take to make you look like you've got it all together and make everyone believe you're comfortable with who you are.  For instance, I'm all for the idea of a dramatic style change or doing something crazy with your hair to start off the adventure to find yourself, but do these outward changes truly change who you are on the inside?  The straight up truth to that is simply "no".  While amping up your fashion game and changing certain things about your appearance can boost your self confidence and start your journey to reaching your full potential, these things alone are not enough.  In order to become the person you want to be...

• You have to push yourself as far as you can go 
• You have to learn to take risks and not be afraid to learn from mistakes
• You have to be the one to get over that fear that's holding you back
• You have to WANT to see a change in yourself and then make it happen.  

Once you realize that reaching your full potential doesn't happen without work, then that's when you realize that you have to get up and do what needs to be done.

TIL DEATH...

//boots: thrifted // leggings: forever 21 // envelope skirt: forever 21 // mesh jacket: love culture // striped crop top: agaci // coat: pacsun (kendall & kylie collection) //

When you see a black and white stair case, take pictures!  Actually these stairs were inside a parking garage in Austin, TX (I'd just like to know why it's so expensive to park a car for a few hours). Anyways, I had just bought this super fuzzy coat and couldn't wait to wear it! I actually had so many people ask me if they could just touch it.  Of course all black everything with some white stripes for some contrast. 

Also found this gorgeous artwork painted on the side of one of the main streets.  "Til Death Do Us Part".  I thought it was just so unique and beautiful.
