The Art of Mod

Santa Claus came early this year, because there is nothing in the whole wide world that gets me as jazzed up as a themed par-tay. And this Friday is the "Art of Mod Cocktail Parties" shindig thrown by the T.A.O. Club, a Houston based social club founded by Nina Delano that produces hands-on learning experiences designed to help communities discover new creative passions. I'm extra jazzed up to be on the host committee for this event, which involves a partnership with the Houston Symphony and yummy drinks by Julep and yummier bites by The Orderves Company. 

If you're in Houston and want to join in this more-than-MODerate amount of fun, we'll be more than happy to accomMODate you - just send me a message! The only rules are no dressing up in MODeration and cheesy puns are MO(n)Datory.

Muchas Gracias

Among the things I'm thankful for this year are: you, the ability to channel my online shopping addition to a semi-productive end, and those who have made this hobby of mine more fun than I thought possible. 

Also especially thankful for (after today's lunch) athleisure, your forgiving me for majorly slacking on cyber everything this week (moving into a new casa tomorrow!), and Over the Moon for providing me with non-stop inspo (like this post on what to wear when meeting your future in-laws this weekend - go get em' tiger!). The list goes on, but the spark note version is: MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!

Got an event at an art museum? A wedding, perhaps? Well as with all wedding-related anything, Over the Moon (and me, sometimes) have you covered with some looks that match the walls. Check out the post here.

It's a Nice Day for a Black Wedding

The dilemma of all dilemmas: your favorite color is black, but you don't want people to think your soul is just as dark. What to do, what to do. I'll tell you what to do - check out the collage I made for Over the Moon's post on How to Wear Black to a Wedding (without looking like you're going to a funeral) and consider you're ebony troubles solved.

Thanksgiving Fast Forward

Today I am doing this thing where I'm cognitively placing myself at the end of November in an effort to have a little taste of the mental release that awaits me. So, as I indulge myself in this bizarro exercise, here are a few of the relatively-not-so-important things I will be thankful for: completed assignments, met deadlines, and finished to-do lists. I know this talk of being busy is getting old (together with my general appearance), but if you add a fun Thanksgiving outfit (and entertainment goodies - hello Rebecca Gardner where have you been my whole life?) like these to the mix then you'll want to fast forward too.
