Houston Rodeo Cookoff

Image ~ ~ New York Roots to Southern Boots ~ Leave a comment

Hey Ya’ll!

Last weekend kicked off Houston’s favorite season, RODEO SEASON! Around this time last year I started my little ol’ blog to document my Houston life. It feels like time has flown by since I started blogging.

For those of you who don’t live in H-Town, at the end of February the Houston Livestock and Rodeo is kicked off with cook off weekend. Cook off consists of eating a lot of BBQ, drinking some booze, catching up with friends, Texas Country and so much more. This was my third year attending cook off, and  it might have been the best one yet; mainly because I knew what to expect and I didn’t have to ride the light rail at the end of the night.

On Tuesday, I’ll attend my first rodeo of 2016 with Rachel. This week I’m seeing The Band Perry, and Chris Young. Next week is Miranda Lambert and Darius Rucker. It’s going to be a busy few weeks!

Do ya’ll want to see more outfit posts/ideas on what to wear to the rodeo? I would love your feedback.

I hope you have a fabulous Monday and make sure to check back on Thursday for my weekly Bachelor Recap!

New York Roots Christmas

It is FINALLY Friday. I’m not sure why, but it felt like it took forever to get to here. I was so very fortunate and #blessed to be able to spend time with my friends and family leading up to Christmas. Brandon and I spent almost 3 days in NYC and then we were in Rhode Island the rest of the week with my parents. Be prepared, this is going to be a super heavy photo post. Now, grab a cup of coffee, curl up on the couch and enjoy a ton of photos of NY and Rhode Island

To me, the tree at Bryant Park beats the Rockefeller Tree. Seriously, could this be any prettier?

Does it get any better than looking up at the Empire State Building on a perfect NYC night? I didn’t think so either.
