My favorite dresses from Miss Teen Texas USA 2013

Alrighty loves, Below are some of my favorite gowns from this years pageant. Although I did not watch preliminaries, ONLY finals-So The only thing I had to go off of was pictures from Texaspageantscene.com and while the pictures are awesome, we all know that pictures dont do ALL dresses justice! SO if I missed a dress, I apologize!!!!! Lastly, this is based just on the dress, not the girl, or the way she worked it, JUST THE DRESSES THEMSELVES.


12- South Padre Island
I know its not a shock that I love white dresses and feathers! :) My only critique for this gown is that you can see the lines in between the feathers. Otherwise, love the color, sparkle and flow!!

11- Laredo

Again, WHITE, lol A very common trend for me! I loved the delicate beading on the top of this dress and the lightweight layers that flowed as she walked. Top 16

10- San Antonio 

Look Familiar? While these two dresses are very simillar, I do think I like this one a tad more- I love the Cap sleeves! 2nd runner up

9- Seabrook

I love light blue on blondes! This is such a great color for a teen, and the crystals on top are stunning! This full skirt is young and adorable!

8- Del Rio

I love the fit of this dress, its flattering and playful! While I think I might have preferred the color on a brunette, its a stunning dress! The stripes and unique and give her a great shape!

7- Fort Stockton

I love the beadwork on the top of this gown! It is very unique and memorable! I really like the two pieces of this dress, but I think I prefer it to be for a fashion show/ photoshoot/or appearance and not an evening gown.

6- Tropics of Texas

LOVE this bold blue color! The beadwork on the top of this gown is stunning! I love how it has almost a built in necklace/ collar! I just wish this had cap sleeves!

5-South Laredo

Again, I love the BOLD solid color of this dress, it compliments her skin tone well and has a great flow! Sometimes dresses dont need to have a ton of sparkle or beading to make a statement!

4- Bay Area

I have seen a few different versions of this dress and love every single one! Not only does this dress have AMAZING beadwork, but it has a small belt that brings in her waist and cap sleeves that just add that little extra touch of class and elegance! top 16

3- South Texas

Another BOLD color choice that absolutely paid off! I love that this dress is tight all the way down to show off her figure, but there is a train to make it youthful and fun! The off the shoulder straps take it up a notch!

top 16

2- Gulf Coast

Oh how I love pink on a blonde! This dress is unbelievable beautiful! The beadwork is incredible! The sleeves go all the way around the back and add a lot of drama! The extra beadwork on the hips helps give her an hour glass shape making this one of my favorite dresses!

1- Kemah

My Jaw literally DROPPED when she walked out in this dress! Its so hard to tell from the pictures, but this dress SPARKLED soo soo much! Not only was it sparkly all over, but it has patters of larger sparkles on it which made it very interesting. It was tighter on top, and didnt quite mermaid out, but the fit was perfect!

Margarita Ball 2013

Margarita Ball 2013 was a Huge success! We raised over 9,000 toys for Children Charities this year! Thank you to our newly crowned Miss Dallas International 2014, Miss Rachel Burns for inviting me to such a wonderful event!

Gift Of lights at Texas Motor Speedway

I was beyond honored to have been able to turn on the lights at the "Gift of Lights" event at Texas Motor Speedway with Mrs. Texas Intl 2013 Michelle Berndt! A huge thank you to our FABULOUS director Rachel Hedstrom for getting us invited to this event. Before the show started I was able to speak with Sam, a young boy who has been diagnosed with Nueroblastoma. His outlook on life was simple, but wonderful.. he just wants to play baseball and be a normal kid.
You can watch some highlights from the event below!

American Heart Association Austin Lobby Day

I was invited back to the capitol on behalf of American Heart Association for another Lobby Day! We were not there promoting or backing any legislation, but instead just to visit with the congressmen and women and update them on the heart health of our state. Many of the topics included Physical education in schools, Health classes in schools, Food Deserts, Nutrition in Schools, Obesity, and stats to back up our findings!
When we were done speaking, I was able to take a walk around the Capitol and take some fun pictures! I hope you enjoy!

Veterans Day 2013

This Veterans day I had my eyes opened like never before. I have always been extremely grateful for the service veterans have given to our country, but this veterans day took my appreciation to a new level. I was invited to Visit the Hospice ward at the VA in Dallas by my director and former Mrs. Texas INTL 2012, Rachel Hedstrom. She has been volunteering with veterans and active duty military for years, it is a cause near and dear to her heart as she was a "brat". We were able to speak with these men and women and hear their amazing life stories, some of which had us in tears. We even encountered a man who started crying when we wished him a Happy Veterans Day - He explained that no one ever thanks him, and that he spent last veterans day ALONE. The fact that we were there spending our day with him made his day. They truly are the greatest American Heros.
