Guys we adopted a pup! Her name is Athena and she's from Puerto Rico. We adopted through an rescue called We Love Satos! She's a spitfire. Sometimes she's mellow and loving and the next moment she's a bundle of energy and quite the little rebel. She loves the water (all types, the pool, beach, puddles) sticking her head out the window, and walks through the woods. We're in love with her and feel like she was meant for us. 

Union Point Food Truck Rodeo 9/9

Hey gang! Long time no chat. Just one of those months, ya know? Reasons being MIA: I've been working a lot, crafting a lot, and we got a puppy. Which is time consuming but amazing. Her name's Athena! We adopted her from Puerto Rico but I'll catch you up more on that later. Anyways, as you saw last on my blog, I made a night out of Union Point's Food Truck Rodeo in Weymouth, MA. Well they had another one this past Friday so I made sure to head on over again. Some of the old favorite trucks (The Bacon Truck, The Sausage Guy) and there were some new ones too! Compliments made the most amazing fried cauliflower you've ever tasted - and was even gluten free for those who has intolerances! Another new fave is Roxy's Grilled Cheese. Everything from original to grilled cheese with guac, muenster cheese, and bacon! ... Currently drooling. Not only was there tons of food and live music like last time, but they even started incorporating fashion trucks this time around! (Next month, I'll even be there selling some of my handmade leather goods.) I've been participating in Union Point's Farm & Fashion Markets most Sundays for the past month or so selling my handmade items with my friend Ashley from Style Revolver. The next Food Truck Rodeo is on a Saturday, October 8th from 10-4. You'll have to come visit me at my tent and don't forget to drop me off a Sopapilla from Papi's. XO

Union Point Food Truck Rodeo

Hey friends! As some local followers may know, this past Friday was the Union Point Food Truck Rodeo. Union Point in Weymouth is the newly re-developed Southfield, and there's a lot of new things happening that is worth checking out. Farmer's Markets (where you'll also catch me selling some leather goods the next few weeks), outdoor movie viewings, and now this! This food truck rodeo isn't the first one they've had, but it was my first time attending (organized by Lola Grace Events). There was live music, games such as can-jam, and soooo much fooooood. For the record, I was totally underprepared. Things you'll need: chairs, picnic blankets, and an empty stomach. I forgot my blanket to picnic on but the weather was surprisingly gorgeous despite the thunderstorm warnings. The food trucks were all different so it gave me the chance to try typical foods I normally wouldn't try. Ice cream trucks, bacon trucks, seafood, brazilian, vietnamese! But the sopappillas  at Papi's Stuffed Sopappallas was my favorite! Other faves: Moyzilla, Trolley Dogs, Sate Vietnamese, and The Sausage Guy. For those who missed out, there's another coming up on September 9th. Maybe we'll run into each other in between recovering from food comas.

#nsale

 Naturally, working at Nordstrom I took part in the #nsale - Nordstrom's Anniversary sale. There were a few things I had my eye on but since so many people go coo coo bananas over the sale pieces, most of them sold before I got to them. However, I was able to snatch up this fun flannel vest. I'm pretty sure it's a dress but I decided to unbutton and use it for layering instead. I know I'll be stoked to pull it out for fall with a thermal and ripped jeans for colder days. XO

 Hey hey hey!

This heat stroke is nuts guys! Cut-offs every day for me. Girly off the shoulder tops give a little zest to the typical laid back cut-offs. The top is still flowy so you know there's less tightness, and that means less sweat. YUCK. I imagine this color still being a great piece for the upcoming fall season. Lots of red and orange in the near future for me. Also, can we talk about the layering situation we've got going on? I paired my all time fave necklace, my Sequin zodiac pendant (thanks Kristi Capp!) with a suede/coin choker for a different look. Metals and leathers are always such a good combo. Anyways, lots of things happening but keeping secrets for now... XO
