Friday Favorites, vol. 50

Wait a second. Volume 50? That's kind of nuts. And to think, I mainly started this little installation to help me post regularly. Which it has. To celebrate turning 50, I think I'ma fix my posts so that my images show up in Google Reader. I tried to fix it once before, but I'm not that tech-savvy. OK, tech-savvy is relative. I'm probably tech-savvy compared to most senior citizens. Not compared to most other early-thirties. Anyway, here's to pretty pictures in Google Reader! Happy Fiftieth, Friday Favorites!



1. boathouses





2. madras plaid





3. Just Dance 2 on wii
Because cardio should be fun. And because this game is so fun to play by yourself, with friends, or with your parents and extended family on New Year's Eve. Trust us on this one.





4. old-fashioned swimcaps





5. Frameworks posters by Moxy Creative

Why our mailman hates us.

We once went so long without checking our mailbox that we received a large bundle of mail, rubberbanded on our doorstep with a sticky note attached that said, "Check your mail more."

Probably a good idea.

This weekend Nathan and I photographed the first-ever Texas Style Council Conference,

and may I just say, it was amazing?! We had a photobooth at the party on Saturday night at BoConcept. Plus, I provided event coverage for the entire weekend. It was fabulous to meet new friends and catch up with old ones.

I'll post soon (either here or on our photoblog) and tell you all about the weekend, but in the meantime, here's a shot I grabbed on Sunday afternoon, in between panels.



***********

Other things that are new with us:


1. We started working with a fantastic trainer on Monday, to begin what I'd like to call our 12-week Plan to Slammin. More on that later, too. I promise. In related news: I miss carbs, which is weird because apparently they're the devil?

2. I'm taking street style photos during SXSW for a NY company that does trendwatching. It's my first solo paid gig and I'm kind of loving it.

3. I have to take defensive driving, for a red light I ran because I was mesmerized by the car ahead of me, whose driver gave a loaf of bread to a homeless man. See? Carbs = my mortal enemy.

Friday Favorites, vol. 48

1. dance parties Whether spontaneous or planned, the very best cure for the blues.







2. clothing swaps Simultaneously score fab new things and purge your closet. Win win.





3. composition books





4. street style blogs Some of my faves include Urban Weeds, The Sartorialist, and Copenhagen Street Style, which is now closed...(sniffle).

All of these inspirational sites made me want to start my own street style blog to showcase the unique style I see every single day in Austin.





5. fashion shows





You may have detected a theme here. This weekend is the first, fabulous Texas Style Council Conference, dreamt up and organized by my dear friends Indiana and Grechen. Nathan and I are proud sponsors of the event! We'll have a photobooth at the dance party on Saturday Night at Bo Concept on 2nd Street. The party is from 7-11 and open to the public! ($5 at door) On Sunday, there will be some amazing panels (featuring our lovely and beyond talented friends Kendi! and Bryan!) and I plan to take along my trusty comp book to take notes on everything the speakers have to share. The weekend kicks off with a clothing swap tonight and concludes with a fashion show on Sunday night. I can't wait to meet new friends and take lots of great shots for the Texas Style Council AND for my street style blog.

P.S. Next week we'll be shooting some street style coverage for SXSW so be warned. If you look fab, we'll find you. Threat or promise? You decide.
