Keep At It Texans!

It would be no surprise to me if most folks from Houston and Texas who didn't like this city for a while, now want to contribute to the massive growth across the state. I do! 

However, it can be overwhelming to most, but just take a deep breath and start with one step at a time. This snapshot really put in into perspective for me. I can't be the only one... 

Ultimately, it really doesn't matter where you are with what you're doing. Just keep doing it! Smaller mom and pop businesses have even been upping their profile to stay in the Houston business game and many like this: Autoinsurancenotaryelectronicincometax(deepbreath)lawyer are lucky enough to be settled onto a prime location like this. 

I saw Mr. Autoinsurancenotaryelectronicincometax(deepbreath)lawyer as I was driving early Saturday morning along Main and I-45 heading downtown, and there he was painting his parking lot. Of course I kept going but I guess I know where I can go to this factotum if I ever need, well, ANYTHING! 

Throw Back Thursday? Ok. I'll play along...

The time I caught this shot at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in 2012. A pricey Chute Pass was what gave me access to this angle. Many more where this came from...

That evening, I also realized how I much liked the look of a real cowboy... judging from behind of course. No way better to see cowboys up-close, trust me! Their monogrammed leather chaps, boots, dusty jeans and hats. The gloves were intense! (I'm a glove girl.)

Above all, the unique stance each had was pretty powerful. They stood all the while, waiting their turn, focused on perhaps whether they'd be the next to topple... That was a nice night in Houston, Texas.

LIVE - Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week + London, Milan, & Paris

I always dreamt of going around the world to see the shows for myself. There really isn't anything like seeing them LIVE. I did attend Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week when it came to Houston. Naomi and Gemma Ward led the looks. That's how it's DONE!

Now with Fashion Houston and Houston Fashion Week, I think we're off to a good start and things will only get better. Houston was recently called "America's next great global city by Forbes" ... & my playpen, The Heights, is now the 4th BEST neighborhood in the country, (despite a recent rash of crime). YEAH!

Anyway, if you love fashion as much as I do, get your cup of coffee and spend the weekend in.
