It’s winter, y’all!

Hey everyone!

If you’re in Texas right now, I’m sure you’re wearing your thickest sweater and wondering how the hell the cold got here so quickly. Today’s weather was breezy and in the 50’s. Last year around this time, we were begging for the temperature to drop under 70. This year everything is going according to the seasonal schedule, which is weird for this state. No complaints though! I loved being able to bust out my winter wardrobe.

Since it’s officially starting to feel like the holidays, I felt the need to update my hair. As much as I loved my blonde balayage, I did grow tired of it. Thankfully my girls at work took care of me! My friend, Cindy, made the perfect formula for my color and I am so in love with the ashy-brown results. (I’ll also link Cindy’s Instagram if you want the same magic touch. She’s such a talented stylist!)

My new hair makes me feel on top of the world so today I had to wear an outfit that kept that same energy. I recently went to Old Navy to spend a gift card I had been hanging onto. They had long-sleeve basic dresses on sale for $15! I grabbed a black one and paired it with this olive vest (that I’ve also been dying to wear) and my DSW boots. I received so many compliments, which always makes my day!

Outfit details:

• dress: Old Navy $15

• olive vest: Ross Dress For Less

• studded purse: Charming Charlie $25

• boots: DSW $60

• boot socks: Target $5

I’m also in love with the Christmas decorations they put up at The Domain! Stay tuned for more photo shoots from there.

Until next outfit,

West Pecan Coffee + Beer

As some of you might know, I live right on the outskirts of Pflugerville (technically North Austin). I have fallen in love with this little city the past couple of years. Funny enough, I actually used to visit Pflugerville back when I was a kid to visit my great Tía and Tío. Fast forward to now, here I am considering it a second home. Aaron’s mom’s first house is here, I was a manager at the Pflugerville Charming Charlie for over a year, and the downtown area is one of my favorite places to be.

Pecan Street is the main road in the downtown area. My go-to places there are HEB (for literally everything), El Rincon Mexican restaurant, Just 4 Kids toy store, and as of today = West Pecan Coffee + Beer.

My friend, Talyn, is also from Pflugerville and we made a coffee date for this morning. We’ve both noticed West Pecan months ago, but since it’s fairly new, neither of us had the chance to pop in yet. I did follow them on Instagram to get a feel for it first, and in natural Aubree fashion, I quickly fell in love with their posts. The place is so modern and welcoming. The first thing that caught my eye was their beautiful flower mural on their back wall. Second, was their giant wall of books/games/knick-knacks. Their menu had tons of options for coffee, beer, and even food. I played it safe and ordered an Iced Chai Latte with a shot of espresso. It was delicious! Talyn ordered the Double Espresso and was just as happy as I was.

We ended up spending 2 hours there sipping drinks and spilling tea (yeah, you know what I mean😂). Talyn and I used to work together at Charming Charlie and it’s always a blast when we get to catch up. The shop was so cozy, so it was easy to lose track of the time. We sat by the window and watched all the cute dogs walk by. We will definitely be back! I especially want to bring the twins since there was a cute kid corner with a play kitchen and toys.

If you find yourself in Pflugerville, buy a coffee or beer and support your local business!

Love you, West Pecan Coffee + Beer!

Until next outfit,

The Lost Files: Sunday Funday Pt. II

*Listening to: New Theory – Washed Out 

Hello my beautiful friends and supporters! I’m way overdue for a blog post and I promised a few people, as well as myself, that I would grace this page with a fresh new post. Before I begin rambling on about clothes (and how cute I think Amanda and I look), here’s an Aubree update:

My Cosmetology classes began about a month ago. Everything is very fast paced at TCC, but I’m doing so well. I’ve already gone over manicures/pedicures and hair-styling, and this week I’ll learn the first steps to cutting hair! There’s so much schoolwork and so many tests too, but I have all A’s so far. Only about 9 more months until I’m a licensed Cosmetologist!

Work is still a learning process as well. Being a part time manager is almost the same as being a trainer (Shout out to Pluckers San Marcos!). I still critique myself too much, but the awesome girls I work with always help me out and build up my confidence. It’s so awesome to be in my ideal work environment. Maurice’s has the best clothes and is so fashion driven, it makes me ridiculously happy.😊

And lastly, I have now been in an incredible relationship with Aaron James Avila for 4 whole years! We celebrated here in Lubbock on the beautiful day of April 14th. It was an amazing week with him here, but of course, it went by so quickly. He’s back in Austin doing great things and I continue to count down the days until we reunite again.

Enough about me. I’ll proceed to share photos + details about these outfits that Amanda and I wore a few Sundays ago. We don’t usually have Sundays off together, so when we do we celebrate with photoshoots & margaritas! We had some happy hour drinks at Torchy’s Tacos and left to the only graffiti spot we know in the city. *If you know any other place in LBK that has great art on the walls, please let me know.* I wish I knew the artist’s name that painted the mural on the side of this thrift shop so I could give them the credit they deserve. It truly is a beautiful sight to look at.

              

Amanda always gives Lubbock the Austin vibe with her presence. Her outfits always scream “hipster”, but don’t call her a hipster. She’s just Amanda Dimmitt.💚

Amanda & I got so many compliments that Sunday. When we arrived to the thrift shop, we ran into a family who was taking graduation pictures of their daughter. They told us that we are setting a fashion example for the young ladies in the city & to continue doing what we’re doing. I love receiving kind feedback like that. Well, thanks everyone for reading. I promise to not keep the blog posts so spaced out. Just know I’m always working on something important! I love you all & thanks for reading!

Until next outfit,
