GOODBYE TEXAS
As I prepare for a very long trip I can't help but start to feel homesick already. Summer had only just started and I was enjoying myself at home.

So much pretty Dries.
Mom's outfit today
Her signature stack of silver, along with an Omega Seamaster men's watch.
Her equestrian Givenchy ankle boots-mom and I both flipped for these. Worn with waxed Levi's jeans.
I didn't get too dressed up today-wearing a thrifted lace shirt, Miu Miu skirt, and my beloved new Chanel bow-tie booties.
More pics....
Are there words for how incredibly sweet these shoes are? Nope. They're kind of punky and cheeky at the same time though. I need to do a post about these shoes! I couldn't stop staring at my feet today.
Had a tasty lunch at the T Room at Forty Five Ten.
(Good iced tea is another thing I'll miss when I'm in Tokyo. Does anybody love iced tea like Texans do?)
My panini with brie and cranberries.
Mom's pear salad, tortilla, and vegetable panini.
After lunch we stopped at Grange Hall-while I was there I snapped a picture of these pretty flowers inside the store.
If you live near Dallas/in Dallas and haven't visited Grange Hall yet, you have to. It's like a very morbid and beautiful apothecary...not to mention they carry Natalia Brilli (!)
I snapped this picture of an old grain silo on our way into town.
It reminded me of japanese boro textiles.
I'm going to miss seeing sights like this when I'm in Tokyo...I love the deserted landscapes of Texas. I want to take a road trip to Marfa when I get back from Tokyo!
Better start packing. I'm going to spend three days in Los Angeles with my family and then on Wednesday my mom and I are flying to Tokyo. We'll come back to Texas July 10th.
I already miss my dogs so much. It's so hard to leave them. But I'm so excited I can barely stand it!

Those Chanel shoes are beautiful and the food that you ate looks sooooo good. Have fun in Tokyo and its great when you fly over Japan like I did because you can see Mt. Fuji coming out from the clouds

i have the all black satin versions but i have been dying for the sheer booties! where did yo find them??
Oh my, you seem to have such an idyllic life! Have fun in Tokyo. :-)
One more thing Jane, when you fly to Tokyo make sure to get at least 6 hrs of sleep on the plane because the jetlag really gets to you when you land and when you get back to the United States. When I went to China I almost fell asleep in my food from the plane ride
Thanks,

have fun in tokyo!!! it seems like a lot of fun!!! your shoes are sooo incredibly beautiful i cant even stand it!!! america will miss its 2 best dressed bloggers (if you didnt know already... its you and your mom lol)!
You are absolutely adorable. And your blog is so fab. :)
I love the Chanel shoes and your skirt.
Have fun in Japan!
Oh, I love those shoes on the book. :)

Best Chanel shoes ever!
Love the Chanel shoes, to die for and those bows set the off perfectly. I'm proud to call Texas home to and no matter where I may travel I always long to return, have fun in Toyko.
Those chanel booties are so beautiful. I love the shoes in the first 2 photos as well, who are they by?

Can you update your site while in Los Angeles?
I live in LA and I would love to see what you wear here!
Wow have an amazing time in LA and Tokyo! You guys look great, as always I'm smitten by both of your guys' sense of style. I reallly love your mom's Givenchys. Shoot me an email if you need any LA shopping tips okay? haha ;-) And PS I drink iced tea like water, aka all the time. Unsweetened ftw.
Those shoes are insane in the best way. Are they from a recent season? They look like they could be vintage or new. Iced tea is my beverage of choice! In Japan I bet you can find my favorite, rose green. Enjoy your trip.
This is one of my favorite posts youve EVER made! Wow. Thanks for the beautiful photos. Makes me yearn for a day like that.
Ooh I live in Tokyo (one of my homes), but I won't be there when you visit. It would've been interesting if I'd bumped into you! Lovelovelove the white strappy shoes in the first pics, where are they from? And your camera, I'm interested to know what make and model : ) But I hate the booties, sorry, I find them really ugly even if they are Chanel. And a black bra under a sheer shirt - really? It's not attractive.
both of your shoes in this post are AMAZING!!! not that they aren't always ;)
cranberry and brie panini sounds deeeelish. I should make that at home pronto. Have a safe flight! can't wait to see what you two are up to in japan.
Hope you have a blast in Tokyo! Charge the battery for your camera!
Chanel boots, expensive meals and you are depressed about leaving your already perfect existence to go to Japan...I wish I could sympathize.
Jane, thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures with us! The food at the T Room looks scrumptious and I am drooling over your Chanel shoes and your mom's Givenchys. And OH GOSH I am obsessed with iced tea. I also thought it was a Texan thing as well :P Anyway, hope you and your mom have a safe trip to LA and Tokyo!! Keep us updated :)
You are incedible gorgeous... :) Simple look but i can't stop thinking of chanel shoes and white blouse. Ou and your mother is beautiful... I'm so jalouse :)
enjoy japan!
your chanel shoes are great...
I read The Magus whilst travelling through India...a great book, but such a repugnant protagonist! Enjoy your time in Tokyo.
I cannot believe you get to do all this traveling!! So jealous =)
Have a lot of fun and take a TON of pictures!! The street style there is nuts in a good way from what I've seen.
There are so many amazing shoes in this post I almost peed my pants. The Givenchys are stunning and the Chanels are so beautiful!!!

Love those shoes!! they look better on your pictures than on the actual magazine!.....What type of clothes/shoes are you packing for Tokyo? Is your sister going too?.... Try to keep us posted.... Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since you are super rich and can afford to drop cash-ole on $1000 shoes, what charity work are you doing? It's nice to spend but have you decided to give back to your surrounding poor communities? I mean its nice to be rich (well I guess its nice) but I don't see what you are contributing, especially in these financially trying times.
^karen u are a pressumptuous bitch
I just saw those Chanel booties at Nieman Marcus to day and I was thinking how they would look on. There I saw them on you! They look lovely, Jane! Great choice.
Have a great trip!

Lidia
ps: where do you get the money for all these clothes? :O

Oh, those Chanel booties are amazing! So chic. have a fun trip in Tokio!
Who makes your mom's V-neck t-shirt? I love it!
Mmmmm The Magus. So worth the extra five pounds it adds to your bag.
Have fun in Tokyo!

One of my favorite posts yet.
Hi Jane, I love this. <3 Ava
Just got back from Tokyo 4 days ago and am already missing it. I hope to see lots of cool posts from you while you are there! Take pictures with people from the backstreets of Harajuku, they're totally up for it! I even met some people I'd seen online from blogs, dropsnap, etc..
The Magus is a crazy, messed up book. (in a good way)
Can't believe your mom already has those Givenchy boots! LVR just got those in taupe a few days ago!

She's going to Tokyo
with a penchant for raw, fishy meals.
But climbing Mount Fuji
May prove tricky in heels.
gorgeous pictures - your pups are so sweet!
