Welcome to a new series we’re doing! We’re taking our “Few of our Favorite Things” series and changing it to be all Houston, all the time. Catch it each month and share with your friends! Two things come to mind when I think of Houston in July: Hot as hell, and OMG SRSLY WHY IS … Continue reading

Y’all I did something that I haven’t done in a long time–cave into the latest fashion trend. In general, I’m a saver, not a spender–unless it’s on travel or a luxurious brunch.

We have the world’s best rodeo—still needs to be fact checked, but we all know it’s true. But alas, we have hot-as-hell summers. Dear July, you may die. But as bad as the summer … Continue reading
