I'm starting to realize that it may be getting too hot in this city to wear pants especially the dark-colored variety. In Houston, the summer heat comes prematurely and in full force scaring away those who don't embrace it like a quirky flaw. I was born and raised here and have come to accept the heat as an excuse to wear short shorts and barely there tees. Bryan, on the other hand, is hoping that we can move out of this place for more terrain and colder weather. My top choice would be Austin. Still close to the family but just enough hills in the area to keep B interested. Plus, we all know there's an AMAZING music scene there. Bryan's top choice is somewhere in North Carolina. You heard me. If someone can convince me that North Carolina is a happenin' spot, then I may be open to making my potential future home there. BTW, "picturesque" is not the magic word.

This purple tee with the funky graphic was designed by my friend, Ack!. He's the sweetest person and does killer (a.k.a- supremely cute and colorful) graffiti both commissioned and not. Check out his Flickr site.

  1. Hey there! I'm from Houston, too!! And yes...the heat is overbearing. Haha. I'm used to it, though, after 19 years! But, Austin has always appealed to me, as well...that's one heck of an awesome (yet close to home) city (;

    Anyway, cute tee! I totally dig random & interesting tees. Awesome DIY. Killer vintage boots, & lovin' that nail polish color.

  11. as a southerner, i would advise against north carolina. asheville is neat, but small and gets boring verrry quickly. charlotte seems extremely bland and problematic. for a moment in time, however, i did wish i lived in wilmington, in large part due to dawon's creek...

    hmm, maybe chapel hill and raleigh are cool?

  12. coy colleen: Austin really is a great mix of city and country. I think that's what appeals to me. I can get the best of both worlds!

    grace: Thanks for the tip! I will keep that in mind when we really get down to actually contemplating a move. I'm still partial to Austin, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
