What I've Been Up To

Happy Friday!!  So glad it's the final countdown till the weekend begins.  I have all kinds of things I want to share with you all.

Here in Houston, it's rodeo time.  It's kind of a big deal.  However, I don't usually make it to the rodeo but once or twice at most.  If you aren't familiar, for a few weeks there is a daily rodeo with a concert directly after.  In addition, while you are there, you can shop, visit the livestock show with a petting zoo for the kiddos, go to the carnival, and the whole thing begins with a big cookoff weekend full of all kinds of BBQ.  My sister brought my niece and nephew this week, and I was able to join them.  We saw Gary Allen, and the kids were amazed at how much there was going on, which was so fun to see their reactions.  I threw this together after I got off of work to try to join in on the "cowgirl" attire.  :)

What I'm wearing:  Black HUE jeggings, denim shirt, CAbi fur vest, and Old Navy Camel boots.


I've been LOVING my Michael Kors watch, and I like pairing it with the Renegade Stella and Dot bracelet. 


Also, I recently picked this chalkboard up for the house from HomeGoods.  I thought it would be perfect for writing menus on or making lists for groceries and errands and all sorts of other fun things.  The husband asked if I was going to be teaching class.  shake my head.  They just don't get it, do they?



I thought it was the perfect place to put it in between the kitchen and the laundry room in the hallway going to the office.  See it will be easily used and functional in this space.


Also, one last thing is that I purchased this tote recently, and I was a little hesitant at first if I would like carrying it as my everyday bag, but it's working out perfectly.  I've gotten use to the size as it's a little wider, which was a concern when wearing it on the shoulders, but I don't even notice that so much now.  The color is gorgeous too!  So, if perhaps you are in the market for a tote, this is a good choice for sure! Or even if you weren't, but want one now, I understand.  You should get one.

Have a wonderful weekend.

XO,
Tara

  1. We love the rodeo! Zach's whole family comes in town (the have steers in the stock show) and we always try to make one or two concerts. I was reeeeally wanting to see George Strait but sadly that's looking like a no go :(. I loved your rodeo outfit....that watch paired with the Stella & Dot bracelet is so gorgeous!

    Seriously obsessed with your chalkboard...it looks amazing and you're right, will be so great for writing menus and to-do lists. I want one now...gonna have to hit up Home Goods (isn't it the best store ever??)

    Hope y'all have a great weekend, Tara!!

  4. Rodeo sounds like so much fun! Love your cowgirl outfit! Your husband's chalkboard comment sounds exactly like something my husband would say- they just don't get it.
    I have that tote in black and I love it- I usually use it for work stuff because it can fit my laptop perfectly
