one of the most EXCITING parts of the night was the “baby bird mom” sighting at antidote. in case you weren’t sure, this proves she is a real person. if you don’t already follow the bleu bird vintage houston blog family, then i don’t know where you’ve been the past few years. ms. james (the mom in the white/black striped shirt reaching for jemma bird) is pretty much a world wide lifestyle blogger sensation. mak and i met her one time at Fitz along with our friend brandi of muchmuchobuenobueno but we got real nervous and even though i think i remember us talking, we probably just ended up making gurguling sounds, we were so nervous. so yep.
