Lydia Says..

Today is Christmas and all I've seemed to do is listen to records, drink wine, and poorly attempt at drawing myself. Oh yeah, I also finally watched The Royal Tenenbaums, great film. Anyways, 2017 is soon aproaching and although I am overwhelmed with work and soon I will be overwhelmed with school again, one of my goals for 2017 is to regularly post on this blog, since my last post is from 2015. I want this blog to not only be a place where I showcase my outfits, but also a journal and a place I share great movies, music, and books. This is a really short post but some photos of what I did today will be included + my shitty doodle of myself, enjoy!

Everyday is like Sunday

Hello! So I haven't posted in a while due to no reason in particular.But anyways, here are photos of my outfit from Sunday, June 14. Also, In my outfit i'm wearing khaki style pants from American Apparel, which I got on sale and a body suit from American Apparel which I also got on sale!

While Xavier and I were on our way to go eat we found a wall that had cute painting on it, and also a part of the wall that was yellow, which is one of my favorite colors.

This outfit was so flattering and i'm a killer for anything highwaisted!

 Also, shoutout again to Xavier for always willing to take photos of me and getting my good angles.

We hit up Tout Suite, which I recommend because the worker are super nice and food/coffee are bomb.

Then we headed to Highland Village because the Sprinkles located there added an cupcake ATM like machine and of course we had to check that out.

 Later that night we hit up Agora are usual spot we always end our nights with Agora, because why not?

 This was a Vegan Cinnamon roll, and after consuming it I was honestly a new person it was so great.

Hope you enjoyed some of the shots from my outfit and also the food ;-)
Lots of love Lydia, Xxxx.

Femme Fatale

So this post is a bit of a throwback from last month. I wasn't sure if I was even going to post it since it feels so long ago but this outfit made me feel amazing and I thought I'd share!

 It was pretty hot this day, but my turtleneck obsession has grown so not even hot Texas weather can stop me from wearing one.

 All these shots were taken by the amazing Xavier,of course. Also, the outside dining area of Empire cafe was the perfect location to take photos that day, they had the most perfect flower bush and everything about that cafe is just so lovely to me.

I also had an amazing salad with potatoes that day.......and you can't forget the coffee. :-) 

 Turtle neck: Forever 21

Sunglasses: American Apparel

 Blue Cat Bag: Andy Warhol

OH YEAH, shutout to Pavement Thrift store for having their amazing $1 sale, because of them I copped an awesome paire of Calvin Jeans that make my butt look bomb!!!
hope y'all enjoyed this old throwback even though it was only a month ago. Anways, Lots of love,

Skipping school for coffee?

(WARNING THIS POST IS PRETTY LONG) 

Hey whomever may be reading! wow, I haven't posted in a while and it truly stresses me out that I have not because, although, yes I never post this blog is something that means a lot to me. I do try to post but its hard because school and work have taken over my life! Anyways, enough of me blabbing about that lets go on to what this post is all about..So, Friday I skipped school to go off to Montrose and Downtown Houston with my awesome friend Xavier and we had a blast. When we're down there we usually go to the same cafes but we decided to try two new ones and they were awesome. We first went to TOUT SUIT which is a cafe located in the downtown area of Houston and lets just say I fell in love after having their Churro cupcake.

 The cashier was vegetarian like me so she helped me pick out what to eat since sadly TOUT SUIT doesn't have many vegan/vegetarian options. The sprouts were so good and crispy they tasted just like potatoes to me. I also got a latte because you can never go wrong with one.Thanks TOUT SUIT, I will definitely be coming back and not just because the churro cupcake but also because the staff was also very sweet!
Also, they had a lot of cute random art outside, which I really enjoyed!

After our awesome time at TOUT SUIT we went to the Chase Tower, which is located in Downtown Houston and about 75 floors high the elevator ride is a bit scary, at least for me, but once you make it to the top it's so worth it because you get an amazing view of Houston. 

The view was so beautiful Xavier and I had to take a minute to grasp it all because it was just so amazing. After we visited the Chase Tower we made our way to the Lawndale Art Center.

While admiring the art we ran into the artist herself! her name was Jooyoung Choi, she was incredibly sweet and talked to Xavier and I about what inspired her to make these pieces. Choi stated that most of the art was based on an imaginary world and also growing up and seeing no other people who looked like her on TV. I left the conversation feeling so inspired and happy it was so great not just seeing this incredible art but meeting the amazing person behind it.

 Xavier snapped this pick of me on 2nd floor of Lawndale.
Dress: American Apparel

Denim Jacket: Etsy
White shoes: Vans

We then headed out to another cafe called Inversion and I got a Lavender Latte!

After Inversion we stopped by a flower shop and I bought some flowers that reminded me of my favorite artists. Soon after that stop we went on a hunt for some wall art, then happened to wonder off to the top floor of a parking garage, which gave us an amazing view of Houston. We snapped some picks and then jammed out to drake on full blast where we stayed for about 10-15 minutes, then as we were leaving we noticed they had locked the parking garage so we had to call an emergency line to come get us out...we were stuck in that parking garage for almost 2 hours as we waited we got attacked by 2 flying beatles...at the time it was a horrific experience but once we were finally free thinking about it made us laugh! lets just say Friday was really great! here are some more shots from that day..

If you made it through this really long post you rock! I hope who ever actually is reading this enjoyed this super long post!!! Lots of love,
Lydia.
