Fun Fashion Find: Taco Pocket

I'm not really sure if this is exactly a fashion find or not because I'm not sure what you would put in this taco pocket. Use it as a coin purse maybe? A makeup travel bag? I just don't know, but whatever you do, make sure you have eaten a good meal before using this guy or else you might be caught choking on a zipper pull.

(For the record, I don't think this taco bag is going to win any fashion awards, I just thought it was too funny not to post.)

Barton Creek Square Fashion Show Event Recap

This weekend Barton Creek Square held their "Trends and Friends Weekend." They started things off on Friday with cupcakes and cocktails with all donations going towards "Project Princess." Project Princess is a pretty awesome nonprofit organization that collects dresses and other prom accessories to give to underprivileged high school girls. To find out more about Project Princess and to donate click here.

The cupcakes were provided by The Cupcake Bar, which I have to say was a really fun and delicious treat. I chose a red velvet cupcake, pink cream cheese frosting, and topped it off with blue sprinkles. It was a mini sized cupcake so it was super cute. The size reminded me of those mini muffins I used to bring to lunch sometimes in middle school. Mmmm.
