Adventures at the Round Top Antique Fair!

My mom and I recently took a trip to Round Top, Tx. Here they have the largest flea market in the country, which can span about ten miles in different areas. With a small town vibe and plethora of vintage, this antique fair was reminiscent of Brimfield in many ways. Make no mistake though, we were definitely in TEXAS. From Miranda Lambert wine to a crowd of cowboy boots, it was charming, quintessential Texas, different from where I come from, which is quintessential Tex-Mex. We spent three days walking around, enjoying delicious Southern fare and shopping till we could shop no more. I didn't buy much, but I found a lovely hat and purse I'm obsessed with. Take a look at some of the photos I took of this little adventure!

I would totally display this giant detergent bottle in my house. ha!

This festive house is actually an elaborate boutique inside. Hi mom!

There's an indoor "hotel" where you can "glamp" in a variety of adorable retro campers. We took a little tour. Next time, we'll have to stay there!


Here are some hilariously creepy oddities I came across!

Overall, a really wonderful trip!

Kristina'a New Life in Texas!

I've officially been in San Antonio, Tx a few weeks. Coming from New York, it's quite an adjustment. Living at home and learning to drive are just a few ways my life is totally different. I'm full of anxiety and excitement for so many reasons. My transfer to Trader Joe's fell through, but lots of doors have opened! Old friends welcomed me with open arms and surprisingly, I'm dating someone new. It's a welcome I couldn't have anticipated. Of course, I miss Brooklyn and I miss my old apartment, but things are happening here. I hope this moving momentum keeps going.

On that note, I'm happy to share that I will be a vendor at this year's San Antonio Vintage Expo, happening this weekend. If you live in San Antonio, please stop by! The event should be a blast. There will be swing dancing, vintage cars and a variety of retro treasures. I've worked at nearly every vintage store in NYC, not to mentioned acting as vendor for a Brooklyn designer. This event is right in my wheelhouse, but it's the first time I'm doing something real for me and my brand. Hopefully it's just the beginning! I'm making my dreams come true one step at a time. I'm super excited and want to share it with everyone I know. I hope to see your gorgeous face there. Learn more about the event here.

On a side note, I have a super exciting project coming up that I will talk more about soon. Let's just say.....it involves travel!

Photo Diary: A Twee Valley High Christmas 2014

From Rockefeller Center to department store windows, NYC is a magical place this time of year. I took two trips uptown to admire the spectacle. I made sure to take lots of photos and grab a cupcake on my way out.

Per usual, the windows at Bergdorfs were glorious.

I tried on some purple lipstick earlier that day and it looks a tad odd in this photo. I enjoy my fun pose though. This might be my favorite window. Gotta love the drama!

Back in Texas, Tallulah met the family where everyone fell in love. They spoiled her with delicious food and adorable dresses. She got to hang out in a backyard and basically go everywhere with me.

My best friend brought me cupkcakes from my favorite spot in Austin, Sugar Mamas. They are so cute, especially the snowman!

I looked through the stacks of baby clothes my mom had saved. This outfit was especially precious. I tried a few things on Tallulah as she silently plotted her revenge. ;)

Here are a few photos from Christmas Eve, which is when we celebrate with dinner at Mi Tierra and wait till midnight to open gifts. I got my dress from a Modcloth a few months back. It was a comfortable, elegant choice for Christmas festivities.

I got my Grandma a unique necklace from an NYC sample sale. She loves a good statement piece. Every year, she does all the decorations and the house looks amazing!

I think my step-father misses Tallulah the most. He really enjoyed having her around. 

I got this adorable ASOS purse for my cat-loving cousin.

I got my mom a fancy Louboutin book. I hope she likes it. It feels so heavy and luxurious. I wish I'd gotten to look through it more. 

I hope everyone had the best holiday! It was amazing seeing my family and I can't wait for another Texas trip.
