a day at the fair

Is there anything more fun than spending the day at the State Fair of Texas with a friend? This friend happens to be my blogger buddy, Ashley Aspinwall of the blog Side Smile Style. We had so much fun gabbing, eating and riding rides. I love her sense of adventure and her beautiful smile. Be sure to check out her lifestyle blog because she has incredible style – SideSmileStyle.com.

Dallas has been experiencing a heat wave lately so our style is reflective of keeping it cool and casual. There is absolutely no need to dress up for the fair. After all, pig races, the petting zoo and Fletcher’s corn dogs are reason enough to be in jeans. That’s exactly what we did. You might have noticed my crazy hair in recent blog posts. That’s because I purchased this curling wand and have been practicing with it. I haven’t mastered it yet but I am getting there. Sweet Ashley gave me some tips that day (notice her gorgeous, relaxed locks). She uses this one.

Just a quick reminder that the State Fair of Texas runs through Sunday, October 18th (it will close at 9:00 PM on Sunday evening). You might have seen my earlier blog post about the ticket giveaway and my first day theory (the food is fresh and the frying oil is new). But I had just as much fun on this day with Ashley!
