Jazz Hands!

It's another busy week for Ava and the boys. You have two fabulous opportunities to see us do our thing this week.

1. AQUARELLE Restaurant Francais. It's a delightful little place tucked off to the side of west sixth street. We have performed here once before, it was our first with Mr. Ammon Taylor, and are excited to give an encore performance. The weather will be pretty much perfect, so you have no excuse.



2. FRANK SWANK! is back. Drumroll pleeeeeease.....this one is going to be EXTRA special, because our good friend Gary Devries is joining us on the drums! We haven't played with him for a while, so it's going to be pretty special, indeed. Gary always adds that little extra spice!



Oh and I'm sort of in love with this flier I made. Jazz! Wee!

Also, one more exciting announcement: Ava and the boys have been nominated for the FED-EX + ME program. Visit their website HERE to learn More and Vote. Why? Because it's fun! Yes.

Fashion Before Function

This is one of my best friends. This, ladies & gentlemen, is Mr. Carter Maxwell.

I believe that friends are, and should be, an extension of yourself. Sort of like "You are what you eat". Although, I don't recommend eating your friends (unless stranded for months on end on some sort of deserty-J.J. Abrams-like island with no hope of a sustainable food source in sight. Then, well, it's anyone's game).

What I love most about Carter is as follows:

1. Hanging out with Carter is reminiscent of being in highschool drama class. It's all spotlights, jazz hands and monologues.

2. He can thrift. Don't get me wrong, his shoes probably cost more than my rent, but the sweater, the sweater was a dollar.

3. He gives good advice. Carter always keeps me in check. And, I need a lot of checking.

4. I'm not gonna lie, we look good together. We look real good.

5. Last, but definitely not least, we're both coffee addicts.


Shopping for the night at our favorite Thrift Store:




The Night, at the new 'W' Hotel in Austin. It's almost like Austin is a real city. Almost.




The W photos were taken by Carter's wonderful friend Danielle Dalton. You can view more of her photos here.

Our Wedding Events this month all went swimmingly.

We had the pleasure of meeting Nycia from Inspired Events and Designs at Chez Wedd & are going to be a part of her Spring Fling later on this month. Details coming soon.

Hold on to your Ray Bans, folks. It's that time of year that Austin begins bracing itself for the onslaught of mayhem that SXSW inevitably brings. It's exciting, but it's exhausting. At least it'll give me an excuse to wear some of my dresses? (Like I really need one?)
