A TIKKR Comic

Some of you may or may not know that I work for the Austin based watch company TIKKR.  A lot of people ask me what I do at TIKKR and, well, that's hard to answer because I honestly do a little bit of everything and it changes a lot since we are a very small company.  But one of my favorite things that I get to do is photo shoots!  We recently came out with a brand new band for our interchangeable watches and I had to figure out how we were going to market this new band in an email.  I wore the watch around for a day and all of a sudden I realized what the dotted band reminded me of and I came up with the idea to make a Comic Book.  I wrote this story, styled, and directed the shoot.  I also got the fun part of editing the photos and making it look like a Comic.  I don't normally blog about my day job, but I was really proud of the final product of this and wanted to show y'all because this is the kind of stuff I love to do.  Bam! Pow! Check it out!

Outfit: Shorts That Look Like a Skirt

I don't know why but lately I have been finding a lot of shorts that look skirts.  I'm kinda loving it.  How can you go wrong with high waisted bright colored floral shorts?  Well, you could probably go wrong very easily.  But what's undeniably right about these shorts is that they have pockets!  

I'm ready for summer like you wouldn't believe, but my wardrobe needs a little maintenance.  I definitely need to find some casual but hot summer black wedges.  I'm officially on a hunt for them starting...now.

Store Review: Austin Sin & Style

I have to admit, as curious as I was to see what new boutique Austin Sin & Style had to offer in the style department, I was equally if not more curious to see what the "sin" of Sin & Style would be.  Did y'all know that Fleshlight was invented in Austin?  Do y'all even know what a Fleshlight is?  Kids reading my blog (and my mom) please do NOT google this.

But among the sex toys, masks, and cigars, (yes even the cigars are Austin made) at Sin & Style, there is also a smörgåsbord of locally designed clothing and accessories (more accessories than clothing) that put the style in Sin & Style.  

March: TIKKR and SoLa

Spring has almost sprung, and when the weather gets warmer, everything becomes a little brighter.  One of the major trends this Spring is bright bold colors.  So for this month's photo shoot it seemed more than appropriate to feature the locally based watch company, TIKKR.  With their interchangeable colored bands, one day you can be a little "Plum Crazy" and the next in "The Limelight."

Another friend to color, local clothing boutique SoLa, is always stocked with a rainbow of colorful tanks, tees, and cotton skirts.  The two seem like a perfect match.
