cream + olive
okay, letβs get real. i havenβt shopped at Abercrombie & Fitch sinceβ¦ college. which was (way) more than a decade ago. lately, iβve been seeing a lot of bloggers wear it so i had to see whatβs up for myself. during black friday they had a 50% sitewide deal so i jumped on that train. GOSH, i wasnβt disappointed. in fact, i actually ended up keeping most things which i wasnβt expecting. everything fit really well, it wasnβt super branded as it used to be and they have petite sizing!!! finally a satin skirt i didnβt have to go get hemmed!! ainβt nobody got time for that. this entire outfit is from there and itβs super affordable during a promo. while i actually love these satin skirts with sneaks, i amped it up with some nude pumps and love how it turned out! and letβs give it up for the cream + olive combo shall we?! (insert silent applause :D).
side ramblings: my birthdayβ¦ WAS EPIC AS HELL. the past four days were everything and more. i spent it with people i care about and was pleasantly surprised at how much i enjoyed myself. 35 is a milestone and deep down to the core of myselfβ¦ i have such a great feeling about this one. first, it was on friday the 13th during the energies of the last full moon of 2019. second, itβs on the cusp of a new decade!! i went all out. i kicked things off with some #birthdaynails at @embellish_nails then a facial & massage at my go-to spa @hiatusspa. my blogger gals joined me for a delish dinner at @eatnorthitalia followed by porron shenanigans at @kalimotxoatx. my family and i ate at @salttraderscc & did an escape room @mazeroomsaustin. we manged to escape with four mins to spare!! weβve done all the rooms there and the shed was their newest addition, we were actually chained to the walls :D haha. i dropped by to support my girl Jane // @atasteofkoko on her new book launch! i had another bday lunch at @loroaustin with my old childhood friends. the weather was beautiful. i mean gosh, life at 35 is SO DANG GOOD. i feel it in my (old) bones. (or is it arthritis. haha). listen 2020, iβm coming for ya. #cantstopwontstop
