…ever since I brought this cat bowl home, Maggie and Joey have been more partial to drinking from it than the chartreuse bowl.
…a golden horse, for luck
…and new knobs for a drawer
sea of shoes
My go-to shoes of the moment. Vintage oxfords, red bow kitten heels, and a pair of Dolce Vita flats that are so comfortable.

I heart Joey
I think my cat Joey is in love with me. Everyday when I come home from work and lie on my bed to read a magazine or if I’m doing something on the computer, he’d always come into my room, plop himself on the floor in this manner and stare amorously at me. And most of the time, in the mornings, I’ll wake up to find him in my chair next to my bed, also staring at me. He’s so cute. I heart him.
wine festival
Houston had it’s first wine festival this year, so we decided to make a day out of it and try out some local wines. There’s a quaint little park in the middle of downtown where a cute chapel (that reminds me of a scene out of Up) and old historical houses are gathered together for visitors and onlookers to hang out. Probably not as amazing as the wine valleys in California, I’m sure, but it was good enough for some hundreds of Houstonians to to hang out and chill on the cool grass, drink wine and listen to local music.
Afterward, we hung out for a bit at a friend of a friend’s bar, the Washington Grill. The place was pretty neat. Good ambience, interesting crowd, and hot hot hot chicken tenders. We chilled out on the lawn area watching the UFC fight on the big screen before heading out for a late dinner at our favorite haunt, 888. They have the best Szechuan dishes in town, I swear. If you get a chance, you must try out the fried dried chicken and cilantro beef dishes (but only if you can stand the heat!). We always order those dishes and it never fails to satisfy our appetites.
We hung out at the “paint your own canvas” tent for awhile, trying to recreate one of Van Gogh’s masterpiece. Can you spot our Joey and Maggie?
