Winning

I'm not sure how ready I am to experience SXSW for the first time as an Austin resident, but I know my sis-in-law, Megan, and my brother, Wes, are excited.  Wes is a musician/film guy and Megan is a producer, so this festival is right up their alley.  I don't think I've bought music since the Spice Girls released a reunion CD, and I don't see very many movies.  

I'm super proud of Megan and her amazing talent. Where Soldiers Come From is a movie she produced, and it recently won a 2012 Independent Spirit Award! Maybe one day she'll take me along to an award show!

Super jealous they got to sit with Rashida Jones at their dinner table!  I love Parks & Rec and that vibrant dress.


Michelle Williams and her to die for pixie cut. Makes me want to cut all my hair off again.


Love this cute floral dress on Zoe Saldana. I'm ready for spring!

Free Time

You'd think I would want a break from school after being in it for 20 years, but 2 days was enough. I'm bored. I came to the realization a few years ago that I really do love to learn, and now that I am finished with school forever (well, maybe for the next few years) I get to choose what I want to learn about.  Don't get me wrong, I wanted to get my MBA, but I did NOT want to take accounting and statistics over again.  Alex is probably happier than I am that I'm finished with school because he doesn't have to hear me complain anymore.  

Now that I actually get to live in a city that offers tons of options when it comes to educational courses as well as random activities, I am more than excited and can't seem to choose what I want to do this spring. Here is my list.



I'm pretty much obsessed with the drums. It might have to do with the fact that my dad used to be a professional drummer. I would say my family is musically inclined. My brother plays bass/keyboard, my mom plays the piano, and my dad also plays the banjo and dobro. I guess my sis and I are just the background singers. The problem is I'm not sure I could talk Alex into buying me a drum set for our 1 bedroom apartment.

Plain and simple. I NEED to learn how to cook.


I would love to learn how to use my SLR. My automatic setting is not cutting it anymore.


Ich liebe Deutschland! I took 3 years of German in college, and I miss it so much.  I know I will never be fluent if I just sit in a classroom and read out of a textbook. So, maybe after a course or two I can convince Alex to take me to Germany to practice! 


I tried to learn Polish for an entire year when I was an exchange student. FAIL.
 Seriously one of the hardest languages!

Obviously this isn't Germany, but we took a detour to London during our semester abroad
 in Salzburg, Austria.   German lessons might be the perfect excuse for my ticket back.



Going to a small university had it's pros, but the one downfall was it didn't have was a fashion department.  I would have loved to major in fashion merchandising/marketing/or promotion.  Now, I finally have the option to take the classes for fun!


I need help with this blog....badly. Graphic design knowledge would also help me further my career in marketing because businesses nowadays not only want you to come up with the idea, 
but they want you to create it.  



So, which class do you think I should take? If you could take a course or learn a new skill, what would it be?

Fashion for Less #9

As I head back to Austin once again this weekend, I'm looking forward to seeing my brother's band, Hundred Visions, play at the Mohawk on Friday night.  I learned early on that when going downtown in Austin during the winter you must a.) where comfortable shoes b.) bring a coat.  For me, there is nothing worse than being cold.  So, this outfit below is perfect.  I've been loving all black outfits lately, probably because I just finished the latest season of Rachel Zoe.
 
P.S. - This outfit is just over $100, I couldn't budge on the sweater price.
Rock 'N' Roll



I fell in love with these green shorts the second I saw them.  Adding a nice pop of color in the winter is always nice.  Pair them with a sweater and some military boots and you've got a "sassy" outfit as Alex would like to say.
