: Austinite for life :

Hello there! I haven’t posted in a few weeks because I have been crazy busy with moving and getting engaged! 🙂 I have been back a forth a lot between Dallas and Austin, but now I can officially say I am back in the greatest city ever – Austin, Texas! I was born here and have lived here most of my life, besides college and a short time in Dallas, but I cannot even express how good it feels to be back for good! I have a lot of exciting blog posts coming up in the future, and since I am recently engaged maybe a little bit of wedding DIY and inspiration! xo

: EYE CANDY : MENU DESIGN

I had the lovely opportunity to design a menu for an event at Austin Food & Wine Festival a few weeks ago called Feast Under the Stars! It was super fun to design and I did all the calligraphy myself (which was a little nerve racking)  🙂

 You can see how it turned out below – ( I also attached the PDF on the bottom for a closer look )

: D eye Y : Mini Succulent Planter

layour

I’m a little obsessed with succulents. Even though i’m pretty sure they are super easy to keep alive, I have a bad track record with killing the cute little things. I bought a few of them at the grocery store the other day and didn’t know what I should plant them in until I found this awesome cement planter at Target! It’s the perfect size for the mantel above my fireplace, but I thought I could spice it up a little bit, and this is what I came up with! Here’s hoping I can keep this one alive! 🙂

what you will need:

  • succulent of your choice
  • any cement/ceramic planter you want (I got mine from Target for $7)
  • nail polish color of your choice (mine is american apparel-summer peach)
  • paint pen (sharpie metallic gold)
  • washi tape

*you can use paint pen/nail polish for both colors if you want
