I'm Lisa Kirk, a wife, mama, writer, and founder. Since 2010, Something Pretty has been home to my favorite memories, reflections, and inspirations. Thanks so much for reading!

I think it’s a miracle. The temperatures in Austin this week have actually seemed a lot like real fall! This is only my second September in Texas, so I was expecting the weather to be more like last year…aka, no jeans till at least Halloween. Thankfully, that hasn’t been the case, and my jeans and […]

It’s starting to feel like summer is really over–school kicking into high gear right away probably has something to do with that! Even though Austin is still hovering around 100 degrees, my nail polish colors and shoes have officially switched seasons (the only things I can really switch without sweating too much :P).

First few days of school done! Thursdays are my busiest days by far, but hopefully it won’t affect Love List postings too much–worst case scenario, they’ll just be a little late.

Happy Friday! It’s definitely a happy one over here–I’m finished with my hardest class of the summer (French), my boyfriend is here for the weekend, and I’ve had a great week working on my internships. Even though I know I’ve done my share of complaining about my workload this summer, feeling so accomplished and proud […]

Another week come and gone! It’s been another busy one, but the end of summer classes is in sight, and I’m trying to fill up my weekends with real summer activities. My best friend from high school is coming to visit this weekend, and I’m looking forward to catching up and showing her my favorite […]
