Hi y’all! It has been a couple of weeks since I’ve updated the blog! I’m so sorry about that! I’ve been super busy (like two all-nighers in one week busy… I know what is this college?!). As I write this post, I am sitting on three card board boxes all pushed together, nested in the corner of my closet (the only place I am getting a wifi signal right now). Needless to say, life is crazy right now.
Picture this, after being up for 48 hours editing my Expectations Vs. Reality youtube video, I THEN had to start packing up all my belongings at 4 AM to move out of my apartment, and into another transition apartment, by 3 PM. Yup, that means I may have set a record. From Austin to Nashville, to Dallas, to Austin, and then another apartment in Austin… I have lived in 5 different places in 6 months. This is why buying a house or building a house is NOT a glamorous process, at all! #Apartmentlife = #ConvenientLife = #Happiness
I’ve lived in Austin for 6 years. The city has absolutely stolen my heart. From the breakfast tacos, to the city skyline, to South Congress madness, and the UT Longhorns… I adore everything about Austin. The city has so much to offer but what’s even more special, are the people and the genuine lively spirits.
Cue, the Austin bloggers. These girls stand out in a crowd. I hope we are not too late in getting you all some holiday party dress inspiration! Links to everyone’s outfits are down below!

December 13, 2016 at 9:07 pmA video about what to wear on a First Date, how to follow trends without spending bookoos of cash, what to wear to work that can also transition into dinner, or how to dress for hot humid weather would rock!!

December 14, 2016 at 12:05 amDani! I am such a huge fan of yours. This blog is awesome. I think you did a great job capturing the essence of the holidays. I love lots of red, a hint of blue, and classy levels of sparkle. I would love if you could do some more new years looks for us. Or maybe you could even do some celebrity inspired looks. Your fashion taste is so classy and tasteful. But I really love how your personality comes through in everything you wear (yes I am referring to your adorable santa onesie)

December 14, 2016 at 1:55 amHi Dani! I think you should do a holiday look (makeup, hair, outfit) on a budget 😊 it would definitely be benicifial for me and hopefully other people and would be a fun challenge for you! Merry Christmas! Xoxo ❤️

December 14, 2016 at 1:58 amHey Dani!
I absolutely adore you/your blog/ your youtube channel AND snapchat of course 😉
I would love to see some fashion on a budget videos. Maybe taking a more expensive outfit and finding a more affordable one that looks somewhat like it!
OR a video/ blog with all of your fashion staples. If you were only to have few clothing options what would be your staples? I hope that makes sense! love you girl! <3

December 14, 2016 at 5:41 amI LOVE your outfit! It made me think that it might be something a grown up Eloise at the Plaza would wear, you know, if it were light pink, lol. Super cute! You should do a grown up Eloise look for Christmas, haha. I watch your snaps daily, I love them, and Hazel, lol. She’s an old soul. My insta is JillSmurf13, I had to look it up, lol. Love you!! And your poshmark, haha. I think I did what I had to to enter. Regardless, thank you for reminding me to visit your blog more.

December 14, 2016 at 1:49 pmAt the beginning of your channel you did a good nights sleep video, a night routine would be fun! Or maybe how you stay motivated to run every morning!
