Mini Style Post: Striped & Sunny

You guys! I've been blabbing about our house so much that I completely forgot to do a style post last week! But to be perfectly honest, you haven't missed much. I've been sporting plenty of baggy looks and easy-going dresses worn with my trusty old man loafers. Perfect for unpacking, running errands and easy weekend naps.

Another quick personal life update - I've been doing the gluten-free thing for a couple of months now. I don't think I'm intolerant, but I just wanted to try it because I've heard great things about people feeling more energetic and healthier after eliminating gluten from their diets. I thought it would be worth a shot since I'd been feeling pretty sluggish and bleh. 

Now, two months later, I really do feel more energetic from day to day. And my clothes fit a little better too. I'll also be the first to admit that I need to do more research on this diet before I can say I'm completely gluten-free. Food can be overly complicated sometimes, and I need to get better about planning meals around the simple stuff, i.e. real food. Hopefully becoming gluten-free will help me get on the right track. 

I also know a ton of people who are gluten-free now! What challenges and successes have you had with the diet? Austin friends - what are your favorite restaurants with gluten-free items?
