A Little Goodsie For You

Spring cleaning has officially started in our home and with our master bathroom repair, a total overhaul and sorting of my closet is underway. I have decided to resell some of my slightly used costume jewelry and accessories and I'm planning to add more gently used clothes and shoes in the near future. 

They are all priced to sell, so if you have any questions - just contact me via my Goodsie store! 
Thanks for stopping by!

Crafting with Splendid

Splendid's store grand opening was last Saturday and we attended the fun-filled crafting + shopping event at their Highland Village store. For the full recap, visit my other post HERE.

Dots and More

Hello all!
 Thought i'd share a few favorites lately. Last week, it was all about polkadots and bold cocktail rings. My latest favorite that i wear almost everyday is this huge tortoiseshell ring from mackenzie's design darling shop (where i also got those adorable matches) and a blue gem from francesca's, I picked up while window shopping last week. These fun accessories truly add a little pizzazz to my daily uniform of tunics and skinny jeans!

I also happen to find great polkadot deals from target (shirt and pants, which i can't find online) and even a pretty cool polkadot wrapping paper from the dollar bins. And in other exciting news, this month's birchbox (get your subscription here) arrived last saturday and I am doing the happy dance that they included a discount card from madewell!

I hope you're monday is a great mix of work and a little bit of play!

Frametastic Friday


It's friday the13th!
13 has been a lucky number to me and I'm starting my friday sharing the fun past week of my so-called life! 

Have you discovered the frametastic app yet? It allows you to make photo collages straight from your phone. This time I'm gathering a few instagram (@swankychicfete) photos capturing my week.

Last week, I finally came out of my hair rut and decided to get my roots done and added some highlights at albert luiz salon and spa and I think I've finally found my girl, Yvette. She was fantastic! Couldn't be more happier. 

We also took Aston for his 5 year old check-up and didn't share this before but we had a little rash incident about a month ago after he ate a mixed nut pack bought at the airport. He's been eating PBJ since like forever with no reactions, so we thought he might be allergic to a particular nut. And sure enough, we got him tested and he's allergic to half of the variety of nuts out there. Pecans were spared, thank god. Yep, that's him showing off the book his pediatrician gave him on his visit.

My may books planner/agenda came in this week and i am excited to jot down my important notes/reminders/schedule on my fabulous notebook designed and created by me. It came in it's cute packaging and a generous discount code for my next order! LOVE it! 

It's been raining all week and lazy days and nights are here. One evening, I bust out the yummy kim chi ramen noodles I've been saving for those kinds of nights and voila - instant dinner. I paired it with my latest fave san pellegrino arianciata rossa and i am in perfect dinner heaven!

I have been bombarded by emails, comments and texts on where I got the colorful patterned paper straws I posted in facebook and instagram last week - and yes, it's from target! I looked them up online but looks like it's only available in stores. You can find them by the party supplies next to stationery. Last time i checked, they were out of them. it's by spritz and priced at $ 1.99/20 pcs. Do check your local store from time to time, i'm sure they'll stock up on them again!

I'm not a gym junkie but i sure love going to my barre classes at define. I try to go at least 2-3 times a week and if I just improve on my diet, I'd be losing weight and toning more than where i am now. Ha! Define recently opened their west u studio and it's amazing! If you're in the houston area, do check them out - Hank and the ladies there are awesome!

I've been afraid of polka dots (particularly the big dots) ever since this fashion trend started. I thought they're unflattering on me but I found an adorable inexpensive sheer dotted blouse at marshalls and thought I'd give it a try. Can't wait to wear it with my bright jeans or shorts!

Lastly, our GIVEAWAY is still open today till tomorrow midnight - stop by and join to win one bracelet of your choice! good luck and have a fantastic weekend, friends!

Weekend Report and More

It's rodeo time here in Houston and last Friday was my son's rodeo day at school. We went for the urban cowboy look wearing a plaid shirt and old H&M boots which surprisingly held up well for the price we got it for last october. This coming Wednesday is their rodeo cook-off at school where they will actually get to BBQ their lunch themselves. Hopefully, they won't burn the school down!

Technically, spiderman and the cowboy look does not blend well but he has to show it off somehow.

Crazy happy

These were scenes from our weekend. It was cold and dreary but we still had a lot of fun driving around with daddy. We were both in stripes and thought that was cute! 

Lastly, neiman marcus beauty event is ongoing - what did you pick up in order to score that adorable faux python tote with freebies in it? I fell in love with my purchases : 

Tom Ford loot

Tom Ford's lip color in cherry lush and casablanca. Also, a bottle of african violet nail lacquer which i'm now wearing and it's an amazing color!

The beauty event lasts till march 4th!

Have a great week all!
