Weekend Shine: 1.28.14

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend crafting, going outside, or staying in since there was extremely cold weather. Here is San Antonio we actually had a FREEZE! Yes I know crazy right. It was a crazy epidemic because we simply don't ever get this kind of weather. My car was actually frozen for the first time in my life! You northerners may think we are weird to freak out the way we did but it was literally something, I personally, didn't know how to function in lol.

Anyway, Saturday and Sunday was actually pretty nice weather which my boyfriend and I took advantage of by waking up early and going to the farmer's market in The Pearl Brewery. While at The Pearl I bought my first "tortilla presser" (not sure that is the correct term for it) so I could make home made tortillas just like my mom.

Sunday was also spent at the farmer's market but this time at The Quarry were I gave blood for the first time in 5 years. I always try to give back and what better way than giving some blood to those who need it most. How was your weekend?

 Ice Ice Baby!

 The "tortilla pressure"!

 Molly thought it would be nice to lay in bed and stare out at others form the hole she made lol

 My first hockey game.

*definitely was inspired by this blog to lead a more productive life and to start scrapbooking again!

*Updated my photography blog and made a new resolution to take more photos with my Nikon.

*I'm really into hats right now and this one just caught my eye. Will be making a trip to the outlets this weekend!

Weekend Shine 1.14.13

This weekend my lovely family came to visit from the Valley. I always love when they visit, it just makes me so happy to take them around San Antonio with me. We visited the Farmer's Market in the Pearl on Saturday and had some coffee. I wanted to buy some eggs but a lot of the signs said they wouldn't have any eggs till Spring, so I was a little disappointed. However, I did find this cute, new boutique that had just opened up in The Pearl about a month ago I believe called The Finch. It had a lot of home items like candles, creams, blankets, book, etc. It was a little pricey but it had unique items that you probably wouldn't find in a department store or something. If you are in the San Antonio area you should definitely go by and shop inside.

The rest of the weekend was spent shopping and eating, lots and lots of eating lol. I always have so much joy when my family.

If your looking for an everyday lip, try this color I got from Tom Ford this weekend. I have been wearing it nonstop! (picture above of Indian Rose)

School has started for all us college "kids", what are you doing bring you into the routine again? You can start with this, it definitely helps me every morning.

Some bling always brightens up my day.

Weekend Shine

The weekend is over once again. Boo! This weekend my boyfriend and I made a spontaneous trip home to the Valley to watch the Canelo vs. Mayweather fight. Unfortunately Canelo lost, ugh  I don;t want to talk about it. However, before that we made a quick trip to the farmers market in the AM. I had missed going to the farmers market, I wanted to make it a routine back when I first started going but my boyfriend doesn't really like going with me. This week I am actually going to be focusing on projects and gathering my portfolio together for Student Symposium in October. Look forward to some portfolio posts everyone.

Since I didn't do a Weekend Shine last weekend I am compiling this week and last weeks together. Have a great week everyone!

My finds from this the J.Crew sale last week. I believe I got too many sweaters and its not even cold here yet. My excuse was that it is cold in my classes.

I finally got around to upgrading my bar cart. Goes to show what spray paint and storage can do!

Speaking of storage, I stocked up on some baskets last week so I can store my shoes and linens around the apt. It was getting a little messy and out of control. All of these baskets were from Ross and they were a great price!

Found this awesome ring on Etsy for my bestie and myself. Her's has her initial like this one. 

The Phillip Lim X Target collaboration finally came out this past Sunday. I made it a mission for myself to go out on "opening day" to get this bag! There was only one left when I got there.
