Satori Spa & Salon in the Heights | Chilly N Me!! | Go Aeros!!

What can I say...I finally broke down and got a proper wash, cut and style.  Boy am I glad I did.  I had THE BEST experience ever.  My husband loves my hair long, but the weight causes some angry headaches.  I have more hair than I like to imagine.
I would always go to Toni & Guy whenever I actually would get a proper cut, but I visited a stylist named Juan Cao in the past, and loved the atmosphere of his salon Satori Salon & Spa located in the Heights just down the street from Downtown Houston.
I did not take photos, but I certainly will so you can see this place.
As I sat down to get a trim, Juan could tell I needed to stay close to my length.  He gave my long hair massive layers while mentioning several times that I still had enough to share with two other people.  He cut so much off, the relief was instantaneous, and Eric was surprised to see that only a few inches were actually gone.  I will get a better photo of what my trim looks like.

This was by far, the best, I repeat THE BEST experience I have ever had.  Juan was very thorough and is such a kind-hearted guy.  If you ever plan on being in the Houston area, I highly recommend calling Satori Salon and setting up an appointment just for the experience.
I see Juan Cao at the Heights location.  He is the owner of Satori Salons.  You can see his website here:

On another side note...

I do love me some hockey. Dudes fighting an occasional fight so bad there is blood on the ice.

And who can forget the best mascot "Chilly"!!

My husband took this photo and manage to miss our arms. (I was flexing too)

I'm sure everyone knows about HauteLook.

My Invitation to You | HauteLook

The coat you see is from one of their Millard Fillmore sales.  This was priced at $45.00 and I purchased another coat priced at $56.00.  That being said I really only spent $30.00 for both.  That is correct!!  Only $30.00.  When you invite friends, and they make their first purchase you receive a $10.00 credit.  At one point HauteLook was offering a a great deal!  If you invited over 5 people they would give you a $25.00 credit for each time your invitee made their first purchase.  Needless to say, a few of my friends made a purchase and I was able to get this and another coat for $30.00!!

Score!!

Valentine's Day Weekend!

I know Valentine's weekend was a week ago, but these past two weeks have been kicking my behind.

We had an installation for a "Showrise" which The Commerce Towers in Houston let ASID use 6 vacant units. Each unit had a number of designers working on different rooms. We did a Living and Dining area, and the tours ran last weekend and this weekend. We are going to uninstall starting tomorrow.

So there was my excuse. :P I never had a chance to photograph my Valentine's Manicure, but it matched my Blue sequinned shoes. :o)

Here are our newly engaged friends! He proposed the February 12, and all of these photos are from the following night.

Here is my husband, Eric and his newly engaged friend. We ate at Myron's Steakhouse in New Braunfels. Dinner was soo delicious.  I definitely recommend the stuffed shrimp, and their jalapeño Mac and Cheese.  Okay, my mouth is watering.

Eric and Me. You can't see my nails, but I wore Absolutely Alice with a Konad design from one of the new plates. I will have to recreate it. It wasn't super special, but it really played off of my shoes and my coat. Oh yeah and the coat? $50 at one of the Sue Wong HauteLook sales!!!! Unbelievable! The detail on it is amazing. I've had so many compliments with this coat, and my dress which I don't have any good photos of it, is from A|X. I preordered the dress from their website a while back and picked it up at my local Armani Exchange. That is a great feature. It is the Strappy Banded Dress and I also wanted to get it in pink, but it is already gone! The bandage material is just like the Hervé Lerger which I love, and was only $120. I've also tried the bandage dresses from Victoria's secret and I just did not like the sweater material. Express has hopped on the bandage dress wagon, and I like their dresses.

But this one is magnificent. Next time I wear the dress I'll post photos. Oh, and yes he is grabbing my booty (His hand was turning white) I was completely unaware of it until I saw this photo, which happens to be the only one we took outside of Myron's Steakhouse.

 Eric's parents bought me these shoes for Christmas.  They are RSVP Primrose, and you can find them on Zappos.com for around $70.  These are showstoppers.

This was before dinner at his parent's cabin. Ahh...the hillcountry. I love it up there.
