Highlights From My Trip To Austin! 

9/15/2013

I'm baaaaaaaack! :D I have to say, it feels good to be able to respond to comments and read everyone's blogs, again. The most painful part of my trip was having to watch my unread Bloglovin' posts steadily grow to a rather scary number. Haha. I was really starting to freak out. o_O O_o


Again, I sincerely apologize for my abundant silence over the last week and a half. I read all of your comments and many of them made me laugh. Some of them made me smile and a few made me go "awww." Hehe. I had very little downtime during the trip. It really felt like go-go-go most of the time (and that's a good thing, by the way!), but I snuck in a few blog comments for some of you when I could. Anyway, I'm so happy to take some time this weekend to catch up on everything I've missed! <3

The wedding was a blast and I loved every minute of every day I spent in Austin. I decided to put together a little Instagram photo collage of my trip for those of you who may be curious. Some of these photos will be familiar to my Instagram followers, but I also added newer material, so check it out! :P

Lots and lots of vintage and thrift shopping! I picked up a total of three pairs of corduroy pants, a plaid shirt and a belt. I know, it doesn't seem like much, but I was actually trying to restrain myself. Haha. :D

I did quite a bit of sightseeing from visiting Mount Bonnell (top right and middle photos) and hanging out at Barton Springs (bottom left), to seeing the majestic flight of bats under South Congress Bridge (bottom right) and listening to exquisite jazz at the Elephant Room (last photo).

Of course, we could not visit Austin without tasting the local food! Austin tacos are the best in the nation! Yeah, that's right, I said it! I love that you can get a breakfast taco at any time of the day. <3

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the craft beer selection at the many brew pubs I visited. As a bit of a beer connoisseur, I found myself giving Austin my stamp of approval. Haha. It was a great trip!

Farmers Market (T-Shirt Challenge!) - Part 3/9

Hey, there! :D I was super stoked to finally do a farmers market run over the weekend. I always love going. Even though I get nervous around large groups of people, there's just something about the hustle and bustle of the farmers market that keeps me coming back again and again. You never know what you'll find or who you'll run into. It can be kind of a magical experience. Hehe. Plus, over time, you get to know the vendors really well and I find myself looking forward to catching up with them when I go. In some instances, I've made some long lasting friendships. So, it's a bit like going home.

In keeping with my self-imposed t-shirt challenge, I created a light and airy outfit around my super awesome narwhal tee.
You may remember this tee from an outfit post I did last year. If you want to see that look, just click here. :P I kept the look casual with an open-knit cardigan and a lightweight maxi skirt. I wanted a maxi skirt in this color for a long time, so I'm happy to finally have one.

I've got a couple more new things to share and then I'll leave you with some of my favorite photos from the farmers market! :D So, as you can see, I also decided to wear a big floppy hat. I feel like, if you're going to go to an outdoor market in the heat, you need two things for sure: a maxi skirt/dress and a big hat. Hehe. I've had this hat forever and hardly wear it. I bought it back when I was living in Japan. I guess I don't really like how it looks on me, but it's the only sun hat I own, so...yeah. Heh.

Finally, in addition to a larger bag for my farmers market goodies (you'll see that below), I also carried a neutral colored handbag. I
got it from Cotton On late last year and I was excited to finally have a reason to wear it. Some outfits require a neutral color as a finish, you know? I think this is one of them. :P

See? Our farmers market is pretty damn cool! :D
I brought home lots of fresh veggies, but mostly delicious sweets of all kinds. I just can't resist baked goods made from scratch. I always have to get the homemade carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I just can't live without it. Hehe. In the Fall, I usually opt for the more seasonal pumpkin cake version. It's soooo good! I hope you enjoyed the photos! :P
