Y’all! Rodeo season is upon us, and it’s time to get ready for this momentous event in Houston. If you haven’t heard, the Houston Rodeo & Livestock Show is the world’s largest rodeo! They say everything is bigger in Texas and they’re not kidding. For nearly a month, the city of Houston more or less … Continue reading
This past weekend, we hosted the #GFTrendsetter event at Gallery Furniture on Post Oak in the Galleria. The featured subject for our event was bookshelf styling. Bookshelves are a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate your sense of style, personalize a space and act as a functional space for storage. Natalie and I found our favorite items … Continue reading
Summer is here. OK, I know technically summer starts next month, but let’s be real. Here in Houston, summer comes early. May is one of my favorite months because summer hasn’t gotten unbearably warm, meaning outdoor activities are less sweaty and sticky. Aka, the time to plan a picnic is NOW. PSA: Alcohol policies in parks are varied. … Continue reading
I’m one of those people who rarely gets a haircut. It’s a thing I do maybe once or twice a year. I’ve always grown my hair long, then chopped it all off in a semi impulsive decision. (I also have been known to do this type of decision in regards to hair color, oops). The … Continue reading
Merry Christmas, y’all. Tis the season to… spend all your money. We thought a lot about how to do our gift guide this year. Last year, we talked about books and style. In 2014, we drank and celebrated Tex-Mas. Now, we’re digging deep into our blog post archive to compile your ultimate It’s Not Hou … Continue reading
Alright, let’s get real here. I’m no fashionista, and never claim to be. Oh, I WANT to be, but it just doesn’t happen. Most of my wardrobe is 100% comfortable and just slides by on “work appropriate.” I mean, I wrote this for christ’s sake. But even I am completely stoked for this new boutique’s … Continue reading
Y’all, November was a LOT. So much happened, and as they temps are dropping, our love (apparently) is rising. Here’s a (pretty decently long) list of what we loved this month—I’ll skip the lengthy descriptions. Turning 1. OK, exhibit A of being busy this month. It’s Not Hou turned 1 year old. Our lil baby … Continue reading
I’m in love, I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it! It wasn’t love at first sight, but I got there. Honestly, I felt like I didn’t need it. I have an excess of jewelry. I know my style. I don’t need anything (or so I tell myself to protect my bank account), … Continue reading
We’ve all been there: You’re in a bind. Your hair looks more like a mop than a human’s head. You have one hour and only one place is still taking appointments for the evening. Leap of faith, right? Go spontaneity! Big mistake. Huge. Well, this was me on Friday. Visible Changes was all booked, so … Continue reading
OK, it’s official. I need to cancel my Stitch Fix. But, I’m doing it for a few reasons, NONE OF WHICH are because Stitch Fix is awful. It’s not. It’s amazing. And I love that it exists. But I’m canceling because I’m forced to realize something about myself: I don’t like surprises. I don’t even … Continue reading
