Houston, I’m Officially Crushing on You: Arts Edition

Fashion Plate, Arsenal 7 Series, and The Lion King Musical

To say the least, I am having a bit of a summer romance with the city of Houston. There is an abundance of events and activities to take part in, and trying to juggle all the ones I find interesting has been a bit of a challenge. Sunday night  I had the pleasure of going to KING + MUSIC + FASHION + YOU at Mongoose Versus Cobra and it was the perfect  combination.

For starters, if you haven’t been to Mongoose Versus Cobra yet, go. It’s swanky in a subtle way, and the exposed brick wall makes for a great impromptu photo shoot -never a disappointment. The original designs by Arsenal 7 Series designers Kyle Futrell and KK are one of a kind, and I was totally blown away by the friendliness of the Lion King cast. Oh, and did I mention that the DJ was amazing?! His name is DJ Francesco Conti, and my poor Shazam was getting put to work! Words can’t capture all the reasons why I had a such a good time Sunday night, but maybe the photos and video will.

Enjoy!

Fashion Find of the Week

Check out this one of a kind clutch that I came across at Fashion Plate Boutique. I melt every time I see it…I just need a 5th side hustle haha

And these bad boys! I was soo pumped when I came across them. Warm weather is tricky. For starters, I really don’t like feet -you have no idea. Warm weather is a hall pass for everyone–guys and girls– to BUST THOSE JOKERS OUT. Hm. Anyway, this shoe is great for three reasons: it’s a fantastic alternative to sandals, it gives me a break when I don’t want to wear heels, and it is the closest I’ll ever come to wearing a ballet flat. They’re like magic.
