Highlights from this weekend

• Movies at the Hill Country Film Festival (Local and Searching for Sonny were my favs)
• Shopping at Red and getting a couple fun things for the house and lusting after much more
• Breaking in some of my new comfy maternity clothes (sorry, no pics; but I know I'll be wearing them all a ton so you'll see them soon)
• Finally getting two new pairs of shoes that I desperately needed from Root (they'll also be making appearances soon)
• A much-needed return to brunch at Congo

Lowlights from this weekend: 

• Sadly, my pregnancy cravings don't currently include German food and that's the prime offering in Fredericksburg
• Sitting in the same row as a couple teenagers who were clearly doing things that shouldn't be done in the movie theater, especially if there are other people in your row (especially if one of those people is giving you looks that say "stop that right now")
• The cats didn't clean the house while we were out of town (but Magnum P.I. did put in a solid 4+ hours of snuggle with me yesterday when we got home)

Back to brunette

Outfit Info

Skirt - Thrifted from hunt.gather.style, Shirt - J Crew, Heels - J Crew,
Bracelet - J Crew (sadly, the pink is gone)

Ta da!  Jenna at Salon Sovay did an amazing job on Saturday taking my blonde hair and turning it into this gorgeous golden brunette color.  I love that girl.  While I had fun with the blonde for awhile, for most of the past 7-8 years my hair's been some version of brunette so I'm so happy to be back to this color.

This pink skirt is another piece I picked up at hunt.gather.style for a ridiculously good price.  It's so darn cheerful and comfy (love that elastic waist in the back!).   HGS is having a pop-up shop this Saturday at Madewell (seriously, what a dream combo) but I'll be in Fredericksburg supporting Christian as one of his films, Local, plays at the Hill Country Film Festival.  Sad to miss what I'm sure will be an awesome event but excited for the Festival and for the shopping I'll do at Red. 

Last look

Dress - Thrifted from hunt.gather.style, Blazer - H&M, Shoes, Belt & Bracelet - J Crew

I finally got rid of those ridiculous roots this weekend but before I reveal the new do, let's take one final look at my not-so-stylish ombre.

I got this dress at the Hunt Gather Style event back in March and I'm excited that it has room to grow (as I grow!) over the next few weeks.  

Over the weekend, in addition to getting my hair fixed, I also started my second trimester.  So far, it's meant I'm feeling a ton better than I have been for the past couple months so I'm excited to get back into my regular blogging schedule rather than the lying in bed moaning about how miserable I am schedule that I've been on.  

Some News!

So you know how my posting has been totally erratic lately?  

Well, I have a good explanation for that:

I heart you

Shirt - Gift from Lulu's, Skirt- Banana Republic, Shoes - Stella Says Go

I got this adorable top at the Clothing Swap presented by Swap.com and Lulu's during Texas Style Council.  I'd never gotten anything from Lulu's before and when I saw the racks of complimentary clothes they were bright and shiny and I wanted to have them.  Sadly, once I dug into the racks I realized that most of the bright and shiny weren't really the right size for a 5'11'' lady who said goodbye to size 4s dozens of cheese plates ago.  Thankfully, a super sweet blogger (who I unfortunately forgot to ask her name) had this top in her hand and graciously gave it over to me.  It fit (hooray!) and makes for the perfect, fun yet work appropriate (with a tank underneath and a high-waisted skirt) outfit for a Thursday that's really my Friday.

And I'm rocking an Easter-esque manicure since that's how I roll.
