B: Alpine, Texas is one of those towns that you walk in about fifteen minutes. It didn't take Katherine and I long to discover what the small Texas town had to offer. We stopped on our way to Marfa (check out our blog post here) and made it our mission to see the colorful buildings, painted murals, and West Texas flair that Alpine had to offer. K: The wind was absolutely crazy the day that we stopped in Alpine. I'm thankful that I brought my hat to keep my hair (mostly) in place. While we ... View the Post
West Texas Weekend: Marfa
B: Marfa is the most modernized rural town I have laid eyes upon. Venture capitalists from New York City took this town by storm several years back by pumping in vast quantities of money, infrastructure, and oodles of art. This city contains numerous recent boutique hotel builds, yuppy hangouts, and open contemporary homes that rival a Restoration Hardware ad campaign. The Marfa art community is vast and deep, with modern art displays that are slightly too contemporary for my understanding of ... View the Post
West Texas Weekend: The Gage Hotel
B: I first visited the Gage Hotel in the Spring of 2015 for a work sponsored course. The March timeframe brought about a chilly spell accompanied with continuous misty rain. Nonetheless, I fell in love with late 1800's inspired rustic appeal and architecture of The Gage Hotel complex that encompasses the entire town of Marathon.

Date Night: An Evening at the Ballet
B: For Katherines 25th birthday, I purchased season tickets to the San Antonio Ballet. The season started with the strong imagination of Don Quixote, leading into the classic tale of The Nutcracker, and ended in a dreamy romanticism of Sleeping Beauty. We loved the costumes and finesse of the ballerinas within these productions, but loved the opportunity for us to dress up even more.K: This cream lace dress is one of my all-time favorites, particularly because of the bell sleeve detail. I first ... View the Post
Target Turtleneck and OTK Boots
K: We're lucky to have beautiful weather in San Antonio year round, except for the occasional day of cold and rain. When Brandon told me that the groundhog saw his shadow, I wasn't sure if I believed that six more weeks of winter was in store, especially since we'd just had sunny skies and temperatures in the seventies. However, that next weekend, it was cold and misty. I got a typical winter cold and we bundled up in an attempt to stay warm. K: A turtleneck is one of my go-to items when ... View the Post
