I'VE GOT IT ALL MAPPED OUT

I didn't have President's Day off yesterday from work, but I did take a day off from the blog, but now the long weekend is over and we're back in action!

A few of my readers have reached out to me in the past weeks (which I love!) and I was excited to learn that a handful are actually from Houston, too! I guess this means that I have to be a better ambassador for my fair city and post more often about all the neat things there are to do (and eat!) here.

To kick things off, I'd like to highlight my Vietnamese sandwich shop of choice, Don Cafe. If you're a big fan of banh mi, this is the place in Houston to get it. I've been to a lot of sandwich shops in my time, but no place that I've found does it better than Don Cafe!


I mean, check out all that bread behind the sandwich-building counter. If that's not a sign of deliciousness, I don't know what is. Boyfriend and I went there this past Sunday we left with happy tummies for sure. I didn't get a shot of the sandwiches, though. We kind of, uh, scarfed them down before I even remembered to bring my camera out. Whoops!

And now, the OOTD:

vappu dress, anthropologie

cartography cardigan, anthroplogie

skinny leather belt, urban outfitters

nude fishnet tights, j.crew

tasseled loafers, f21

ring, f21

necklace, f21 (gift)

gold bangle, kate spade

nail polish, custom crazy mix

The weather outside is definitely warming up, but I'm not quite ready to go completely bare-legged just yet. These tights don't actually match my skin color, so they look almost white on me. Which makes me wonder... I hope no one actually thinks that I just have blindingly white legs. Also, I ended up taking off the necklace before I left the apartment because it competed too much with all of the wonderful details on the dress bodice and cardigan.

I know, right? When have I ever worried about something being too much?
