Here are a few of my personal fave images from the festival & a clever story from my cousin Jess who shared the weekend with me to entertain you.
Click here to view my entire festival gallery of photos on Flickr. Some of the images also appear in the Paste Magazine 1,000 Words photo blog online.
In no particular order…
- traveling to new exciting (& sometimes old familiar) places
- capturing a moment on film
- french fries (my guilty pleasure – but I tell myself it’s OK because I get kiddie size)
- my iPhone
- Red-headed men (NOT Conan O’Brien)
- wine
- my Arbonne skin care products
- Real Simple Magazine – because the name is SO true
- wine (did I already say that?)
- listening to Band of Horses - ok YES I heard them for the first time for a car commercial, but who gives ?
- things designed with peacock feathers
- the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer (yes, I said it, it’s true I am hooked)
- Havaianas flip flops
- classic black pumps
- Paste Magazine
- shopping on etsy
- my Catahoula Mabel
- playing drums on Rockband
- Lost - I have never seen it on live tv, but nevertheless the DVDs got me hooked & I am so behind
- the Gandhi quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world”
Ok, so I know what you are thinking, I am such a cliche. C’est la vie moderne. I am not sure if that is correct French, but you get the idea. Enjoy my new custom designed (with love) blog header to give permanent homage to my faves.
I want to know what you love too though. So, tell me a few of yours. Is it playing laser tag? Boysenberry tea in the afternoon? Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle? or maybe jamming at your desk to Journey while working on spreadsheets?
Whatever it is that you love, shout it from the rooftops! (or comment on my blog)
After much neglect, the pureamber blog is getting a new life!
This has nothin’ to do with church musicals, the Greeks or Creedence Clearwater, but believe me it’s about time dahrlin’.
Stay tuned for more to come.
P.S. Be a cheerleader & help keep me motivated. Post a comment.
Every Wednesday from 5-10pm at Monica Pope’s newest addition Beaver’s Icehouse, the summer’s hippest & hottest happy hour takes place…Green Drinks presented by Beaver’s and New Living.
Each week 25% of all drink and appetizer specials will go towards supporting local community initiatives such as Caroline Collective (monthly). Snack on refreshing bites and bevs, especially those of Beaver’s own mixmaster Bobby. & If you stick around for dinner, I highly recommend the Beaver Wings & the Jon-Jon Noodles. Oh so tasty!
Plus, mingle with some very cool people who like sharing new ideas about green living.

I write today to boast a Monday Fun-day that started poolside at the Four Seasons 2 nights ago. The event was a cocktails+culture crawl benefiting hypa + fresh arts.
It was truly downtown´s hottest spots with Houston´s hottest art. The drinks were enticing, especially the mojitos at the new Treehouse overlooking Discovery Green, and the arts were fab, particularly the performance at a+ by Opera in the Heights. (I am so going to check out their rendition of Madame Butterfly in the fall)
Joining me for the evening was the always stylish Monica Danna, the dope duo Jason & Tiffany McElweenie, and the coolness of Dr. Miggy.
What more could a girl ask for on a Monday night? Thanks for rockin’ it Houston.
I took part in Dr. Sketchy the hippest art “class” in Houston this weekend & made it in the Houston Chronicle.
The theme was pirates & I surrendered some booty to take part!
I invite you to participate in the next one…I guarantee you some of the coolest people in Houston will be there. Don’t believe me, find out for yourself!

See if you can tell which sketch is mine…
Hello bloggers out there! I have finally caught up with the rest of the world no UNIVERSE & have started a blog. Geez, I must be getting hi-tech or something. Well…either that or my hi-tech friends are starting to make me feel out of the loop. (…wait is that even how you spell “hi-tech”? ha!)
Come back for more soon!
