So I guess I’m not writing as often as I’d like at the moment, but I am eating. And at the moment I cannot get enough of Digg’s Taco Shop, right across the street from SMU on Hillcrest. I would have been there every night had it been around when I was in college. For [...]

Kimmi Peacock Now at Tru Salon – Dallas
August 21, 2012
Some of “my people” have moved. The ones I go to for very important things, like my hair, and workouts. So for those of you who have taken me up on my recommendation to try Kimmi Peacock, genius of cutting and styling hair, she is now at Tru Salon. Just don’t take all of the [...]
Start Restaurant – Dallas
August 19, 2012
Alright loyal readers, I’m sorry for the lack of posts lately. Really. The babies and the move and slow internet connections and summer vacation and life. You know how it is. I am going to try to get back on my regular post schedule. So let’s start with some of my favorite finds. Some new, [...]
Pure Skin Therapy – Dallas
May 31, 2012
As you know from being a loyal reader, I’m always bragging on my hair colorist, J.T. Osgood, who is a certified genius at coloring hair. And J.T. often brags about a certain esthetician and skin specialist, Robyn Straza, and her skin care line, Pure Skin Therapy. So I decided, if Robyn is as good [...]
Dallas Child May Issue
May 17, 2012
Wow. It’s been a week already?! I’m obviously a bit behind on posting (and everything else). Thanks for sticking with me as I get through the new baby phase. And the 3-year-old phase! In the meantime, you can read about my friend Jenny Kirtland’s beauty secrets, The Gem Juice Bar, and Samudra clutches, in my [...]
The Ranch – Las Colinas
May 10, 2012
Sometimes driving outside your usual 10 mile radius turns out to be a good thing. The Ranch in Las Colinas is my new favorite concept in the ‘burbs. Good menu (loved the kobe tacos) and drinks (sipped Texas tea and then champagne). Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Live music on the patio. Great wait [...]
The Foundry and Chicken Scratch – Oak Cliff, Dallas
April 26, 2012
Here’s where I spent Saturday night. The Foundry, a hip bar and outdoor concert venue, which is also part of Chicken Scratch, a super casual new restaurant concept by the guys who created one of my other Oak Cliff favorites, Bolsa. I pretty much loved everything about this dual concept. It’s a particularly awesome place [...]

The Gem
March 9, 2012
Attention health-conscious Dallas readers. While in NYC and LA you can find fresh juice bars on every corner, until now the only Dallas juice bar I’ve known about is inside Whole Foods on Park Lane. For me that means a lot of time stuck in traffic on Northwest Highway. But now there is also The Gem, [...]
Hadleigh’s Baby
February 12, 2012
Hopefully you are all still planning sweet surprises for Valentine’s Day, but for those with baby gifts on the brain, I just saw these darling photo albums and cashmere bear (complete with a scarf for baby) at Hadleigh’s retail store in Highland Park Village.
There’s also plenty of luxury items for “big kids” too, such as [...]
