Merry Cyber Monday!

It's time, It's time, check out the Monikapolitan Cyber Monday today and today only! It only happens once a year and there's discounts as big as 40% off, gift cards will be given + more. Follow me on Twitter because there will be random deals and giveaways happening all day long. This is always one of my favorite times of the year and even though I didn't go full blown crazy with Black Friday the other day, I did manage to scoop up Seasons 1-4 of Mad Men for $8 each!! Hope you guys had a wonderful Holiday, stay tuned for what's to come...

Apartment Scavenger Hunt

Welp, it's 6am and I just completed store orders + homework. The Holidays are always crazy times since it's right around college finals and people be spending dat moneyz! Pretty please, If you order from Monikapolitan.com; read the shipping schedule and please be patient (especially if you order an item that is on PRE-ORDER.) Oh, and don't forget about CYBER MONDAY!! Cyber Monday is equivalent to 'Black Friday' but for online businesses. You can definitely expect some discounts that are out of this world.

This weekend Mommypolitan and I went to Austin to do some apartment hunting. The amount of apartments in that city is overwhelming. Lucky me, I found an awesome realtor company (Apartment Experts) and with the help of my realtor and new friend Julie, I FOUND AN APARTMENT!! I'm excited/anxious for graduation, my birthday, Boston and my move-in-date (which is the first week of February) ...Oh yeah, and Boston! So, I decided to scratch off my graduation party and take a trip. I graduate on my birthday at 9am, have lunch afterwards, then i'm outta here until Christmas! Have any of you been to Boston? suggestions?

Petey Piper Pizza

Yesterday was my lil scoundrel's birthday! For those of you that remember my pup Petey's birthday last year, we celebrated it in big ways. Okay, not so big… I just made him a birthday hat out of stock paper and sang him a birthday song. This year, I gave him pieces of steak, let him misbehave and play with cats. He had a great time. Now he's off with grandpa for a week vacation at the ranch. Is it weird that I'm talking about my dog as if he's my child? Okay, thanks.

It's been a while since i've posted some of my latest purchases and since I'm graduating, moving and money will be tight, I'm taking advantage of my current luxury and buying clothing that I don't need. haha. I decided to get my shop on and purchased some of my favorite staples for the Fall: Simple stone necklaces, Velvet anything, wide-brim hats and as always, sexy ankle boots.

To Give Or Not To Give

So, 32 more days and I'm a college-free woman. Yup, that's right. It's funny, the closer I get to graduating, the more I want to stay in school. Weird, right? My emotions like to mess with me like that ALL the time but nonetheless, majoring in Marketing and choosing to stay in McAllen have been two of the best decisions i've made up to date. Hopefully, there will be plenty more decisions to be made. Cause how boring would life be if we didn't have to decide on things? Probably ridiculously boring.

This weekend I go apartment hunting, but this time it's for the realz! This is where my decision making skills will really come in hand. And now, your decision skills must be put to the test… you know? Cause it's almost Thanksgiving, and after Thanksgiving is over Christmas is going to come at you so fast and so, you better get started…

Nobunny No Money!

Finally! Some time to post a photo blog that is long overdue, but not really. Anyway last week, during a SCHOOL night (I know... i'm such a rebel,) I went to support the locals at a show my buddy, pal P-trick had at Simon Sez. It was really crowded and bumpin' which sometimes stresses me out and leads to anxiety, but in the end, it was a damn good time! The local band Petrock, closed the show so I got some action shots. Unfortunately, I didn't have the guts to go into the crowd when headliners Nobunny went on, so I won't be able to show you this grown man, in his underwear… looking like yes, a bunny. Oh well, hope these suffice…

Art Walk Event- November

Had the grand ol' pleasure of setting up at Doriz Hair Art & Dance Studio on Main Street for this month's Art Walk! Events are always such a pleasure since I spend my 75% of my time behind a computer screen because of the store… so getting to interact with live humans, face-to-face is a breath of fresh air! For the most part, everyone is really excited when they walk in and the other half don't know whether they can walk in or if Mobile Monikapolitan is just for show. I feel blessed to be doing what I love and thank all of you who purchased from me last night or have ever purchased online. My mother is a really embarrassing woman at events but geez, gotta love her. She takes pictures between cracks, through the windows and likes to pretend she is an event photographer...
