Two of my favorite Houston street artists, Eyesore and Ack!, put on a show together this past weekend.  I would say their style is completely the opposite of each other, but opposites attract, right?  From Eyesore's more macabre subjects done in precise pen and ink strokes to Ack!'s signature drooling boy, their art actually complemented each other quite well.  There was a great response to the show, and these guys will be making another appearance at the street art exhibition at The Station Museum on May 25th from 7-10pm.  Come check out some of the best street artists that Houston has to offer!

Found these adorable bags by Bracher Emden via Fab.com.  Looks like clay spaghetti which brings out both the kid and foodie in me.

Found a new sneaker favorite.  I never really fell into the hologram trend until I saw the details on these shoes.  I swear.  The Swoosh logo never looked so good.  The mint tongue tab (which you can't really tell in the photos) mixed with the neutral linen and hologram accents make for a deadly combo and one that I think would make Tokyo quite proud.

Hmm... I'm really a sucker for texture, so whilst visiting the sale rack of Urban Outfitters, I found this funky little denim jacket (eh hem, LDJ for short) with puff sleeves and immediately called it my own. Many have mistaken it as vintage, which I have no problem with. I guess I've been on a little jacket kick because recently I picked up a great spring blazer in a salmon color from Apiece Apart. So glad I've rediscovered the brand, which has some beautiful basics in more grown up silhouettes. I also tried on this dress and really loved how it looked on.  Not sure what  kind of occasion I'd wear it to but tempted to stop into Leap for their trunk show in May to see if they have my size.

Has anyone recently discovered a brand(s) that they love?  If so, do share!
