texture.d has a new home!

{peace out}

hi guys...

yes, it's been forever since we last spoke...

(or i guess - "wrote"? hm. whatever...)

I have been in the middle of a little life transition -

packing up & moving to New York City, y'all!

Since this blog site was dedicated to Dallas (kind of) - my blog now has a new home!

Please check it out :: HERE

I hope everyone is doing just lovely...my goal is to actually post on the new blog frequently

{keep your fingers crossed on that one}

 and give it more of a personal spin - as i begin this new chapter in life.

have a happy day!

seeing dots.

i have broken my last 4 iPhones within 5 days flat. 

that is a true track record. 

i am not graceful. or very responsible.  

so i love a good case when i see it.

(considering - i probably need to wrap my gadgets in 16 layers of bubble wrap to ensure any safety whatsoever)

Dallas textile designer Megan Adams has turned her original screen printed fabrics into bright, colorful accessories -

for iPhones, iPads, iPods, & portable speakers.

(side note : the cast of Bravo's Most Eligible Dallas tote these around...as they board their weekly crazy train)

 anyway...

Check out Megan's designs HERE

(she also has pillows, fabrics, clutches, etc)

Ruby Red obsession...get some.

see ya - "simple"...

you are getting kicked out by the

Excessive Accessory Overload train!!

{ ...choo choo... } 

I was like a kid in an ARM CANDY shop 

when I saw that Refinery29

had interviewed 20 of NYC's fashion elite -

to discuss this obsession of decorating their wrists in the most wonderful conglomoration of layered bangles, cuffs, old-school friendship bracelets, & humongous MAN watches

(shoot - some even add in a recent concert/festival armband for an added touch...)

Here are a few of my favorites ...

seriously, this is accessory heaven in my book.

I am a devout believer in piling on as many accessories that you can - more is More is MORE...is more -

in my book anyway.  

What do you think? Which look do you love most?

Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

my style file :: i get it from my mama.

visiting my favorite person in the world this week - my mama!

and ...

my entire flowy summer ensemble is from HER closet...

happy hump day!

bashful , blush .

dreamy. girly. pretty.

these are typically my favorite words

when it comes to my personal fashion taste.

throw one of my grandma's crochet doilies

on me & i'm beyond happy.

i just can't help it.

so, i obviously went nuts over this stunning editorial featuring

Giorgio Armani's Fall Collection in InStyle's August edition.

Mr. Armani is a man after my own heart...sighhhh.

{ PS : the model is "Crazy, Stupid, Love" actress Analeigh Tipton - great movie ...she might even give Ryan Gosling a run for his money in the "gorgeous" category }

i love how the Q&A ends with Mr. Glam himself ...

When is a woman at her most beautiful?

" When she becomes aware of herself, untroubled by self-doubt

and uncertainty. My concept of style, which doesn't require you to be beautiful or famous, expects you to be

adventurous with elegance & grace. "

Giorgio Armani

i am lame. end of story.

once upon a time ...

i was a blogger.

as of lately -- yeah, not so much.

SHOOT. {i'm sorry x infinity?}

I've missed y'all!

i've been swamped with work &

I spent the month of July in the big ol' NYC.

i've traveled to the concrete jungle many times...

but it was so different & wonderful to be there

for an extended period of time.

country girl has officially fallen in love with the big apple.

enjoy a few pics i took ...

as my super lame "virtual apology via eye candy".

 { love her } 

 { love her too ... good friends make life grand. }

Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty."

side note : so - an actual, real-life blog post will be up STAT.

maybe it will even cover fashion ... who knows.

have the loveliest tuesday!

Diana Warner :: the happiest little boutique in NYC

 well guys - country has entered the big city. 

 

i am in NYC for the month of July...

which i'm sure will bring you much entertainment, 

weird stories, and great fashion posts.

(ummm...well if i am a good girl & take time to actually blog.)

i get to hang out with one of my favorite fellow southern belles while i'm here in the city :

the ubber talented & too much fun - Diana Warner! 

Diana & I met a few years ago and i not only adore her jewelry designs - but l.o.v.e her! 

DW NYC just opened her flagship boutique 

on 42 E. 21st Street (near Park Ave South) -

she calls it "the happiest little boutique in NYC" ...

well i'm going to add a few adjectives to that tagline : 

"the happiest, most precious & cutest little boutique in NYC"!

we southerners love our "warm & fuzzy" words, I guess...

but for real - if you're in the city - drop by & check it out!

and...i'm out. 

here's to the happiest little friday to you 

...from the happiest little boutique in NYC!
