Free People at City Centre • Houston

I feel sad for phone pictures because they never escape the 5x3 box they live in, even in texting... still all locked up. I think the reason i love my iPhone the most is because I see so many beautiful things and my phone is there to say "I recognize that, text that to Kendall." BE FREE phone pics, BE FREE!

Have you seen these types of color palettes? They are freaking yes. I thought I would try my hand in this biz today, usually I am pinning these color schemes from design sponge, creature comforts, or design-seeds...  Its super important not to copy these color geniuses so circles and rectangles were out... so today I pioneer the hexagons of feeling!

Why I love sports

While I am super competitive that is not my favorite thing about sports. I love the underdog. I love stories of second chances. I love stories of redemption. I love to see good guys (or gals) finish first. I think because it is (in pro sports) a public display of a good human triumph. Think about the movies: Rudy, Hoosiers, Miracle, Remember the Titans and Seabiscuit. People overcame difficult odds and I think it gives us all hope.

I can't see this pic without chanting "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!" in my head

If it was not clear before, I have officially become a sports junkie as my husband and I listened to the Masters on XM radio on our way home from the lake. I NEVER thought I would enjoy it. But the anticipation and the intense whispers of the announcers describing every detail made me fall in love with the story of Bubba Watson. A good ole boy who had not won a major, had just adopted a son, was not doting logos all over himself, lost his father 2 years ago and is a very emotional guy. Emotional in a good way. Not throwing his clubs or mouthing expletives (hint to another pro golfer). He had himself in check and you could tell he was not taking the moment for granted.

I love this picture because it shows that no matter how old or successful we get, we owe so much to our parents.

Last year watching the Masters I wanted to cry for Rory McIlroy as he just fell apart and lost the lead. I was rooting hard for him this year, but if it couldn’t be him I was glad it was Bubba.

I think we can learn things from athletes. I love this quote from Bubba - "I don't play the sport for fame. I don't try to win tournaments for fame," Watson said. "I don't do any of that. It's just me. I'm just Bubba. I goof around. I joke around. I just want to be me and play golf."

Your Beautiful Bridesmaids

Happy Wednesday! Does this week feel like it's flying by to anyone else? I'm busy wrapping up the major contracts on our wedding to-do list, getting super excited about everything. What is next you say? How about me! That's right... it's time to shop for your bridesmaids. Something new to think about, not-matching dresses? This is definitely not everyone's style, but it's a new trend now which I happen to be loving. Of course, there is nothing wrong with your bridesmaids in the same dress, it will always create a beautiful cohesive look. Or you could compromise, same color different dress... or same dress different shades? Which is your favorite style?

Clothing Crush: Vintage Pajamas

Don't get me wrong, I like being cozy and comfortable in my pajamas. For some reason though, old t-shirts and shorts just aren't cutting it anymore in the PJ department. I wake up feeling like I'm in college all over again. If we have company staying in our home, I especially want to look decent in the morning while making coffee/breakfast for our friends or family. Looking "decent" does not include an old high school t-shirt of my husband's and some Old Navy pajama shorts from 3 years ago. Nasty I know. 

I've recently been wearing some of my hub's dress shirts to bed. The old ones, that he never really wears and are extra soft. Since he's 6'5", his shirts easily double as a night shirt for me. However, the sleeves are an issue, and I'm ready to get out of my lazy bedtime attire and buy something chic and comfortable that fits me instead of the giant! I like when women wear things inspired by men, and I'm thinking these vintage pajamas are just the thing. Simple, crisp, classic.  

Current Pajama Crush:  Vintage Pajama Set From J. CREW- 78.00

Short pajama sets can be essential, especially in the summertime. Living in Texas, it can get unbearably hot so short PJ sets work great for warmer weather. 
I'm loving Steven Alan's Cropped Pajama Set for the warmer nights.

Vintage PJ's are not only being worn in and around the house, but yes, out on the town. I honestly don't think I have to guts to wear them out of my house, but I think it's clever that designers are finding chic ways to wear bedtime attire during the day.

To make my pajama dreams come true - I'd want to wake up in my new vintage PJs, in a fluffy white bed, with a delicious cup of coffee and breakfast of course!

 Yep that would be a blessed morning indeed.
