Pink and Purple Obsessions at VOD – Dallas

December 5, 2011

Maybe you need to fit in a little shopping for yourself this holiday season?  Here’s what I would be wearing on the beach if I wasn’t so super sized this pregnancy:

And I couldn’t resist these.  How can you not be merry in this ensemble?!  At least I can still fit in shoes (for now)!

VOD always [...]

Alexis Badami facials – Dallas

November 30, 2011

I just love adding talented people to my life.  I was recently complaining about my breakout-prone, hyper-pigmented, pregnancy skin (no sign of pregnancy glow here), and my friend Kristie Ramirez recommended I try under-the-radar facialist Alexis Badami.  Now I don’t know what I did before her.  One session provided a truly incredible improvement, and maybe [...]

BuzzBrews – Dallas

November 21, 2011

Here it is.  My prediction for the next big thing in the business of restaurant concepts.  BuzzBrews has the best tasting casual breakfast in town, and it’s open all day and into the night.  In fact, the Central Expressway location is open 24 hours.  There are also locations on Lemmon Avenue and in Deep Ellum, [...]

Lucia – Dallas

November 10, 2011

I finally made it to Lucia, a casual chic little Italian spot in Bishop Arts, and probably the most raved about restaurant in Dallas.  The reputation seems well-deserved, because the last time I had pasta that good I was in Italy!  This place is definitely something you need to put on your to do list…for [...]

Deanna Hamro At Grange Hall Nov. 2

November 1, 2011

And tomorrow, another jewelry trunk show and designer appearance that you won’t want to miss.  Deanna Hamro will be at Grange Hall in Dallas with her stunning pave and fine jewelry collection, 11-5.

These pave pieces make a statement no matter what you pair them with.

And the fine jewelry collection looks just as gorgeous.
See you there.

Kimberly McDonald at Forty Five Ten Today

October 29, 2011

I’m back after a really bummer week.  If you, like me, need a little distraction, you might head to the trunk show and personal appearance of jewelry designer Kimberly McDonald today at Forty Five Ten in Dallas.  She’s the one who makes those gorgeous geode and gemstone pieces, including the subtle sliced diamond ring that [...]

St. Michael Women’s Exchange – Dallas

October 21, 2011

Forget gift wrapping this holiday season.  I just saw the most gorgeous sparkling boxes for about $20 each, already decorated with Christmas trees, jingle bells, snowflakes, etc.  They are more beautiful than any wrapping scenario you can think of, plus you can reuse them year after year, or display them as decorations.  And speaking of [...]

Paradise Design Co. Papers – Dallas

September 19, 2011

My talented friend Alyssa, who is responsible for the graphics on this website as well as some of the coolest (and most beautiful) invites I have ever seen, is now debuting a line of stationery and paper.  You can find it this weekend at The Dallas Flea, and after that via her website, Paradisedesignco.com.  To [...]

When You Need a Burger and Beer – Dallas

September 14, 2011

Maple & Motor.  Possibly a dive, but a clean, cool one, with an awesome staff and great burgers, fries, etc.  The owner Jack, calls it “low class cool.”  No veggie burger, but they do have some sort of salmon burger, and a chicken tender basket perfect for the kiddos.  4810 Maple Ave. Dallas.

Mommy Mixer For Babysitter Connections

September 12, 2011

I’ve recently been on the hunt for a really awesome babysitter, and two friends recommended Mommymixer.com to help hook me up with just the right person.  Mommy Mixer helps introduce moms to potential sitters either via “mixers” (local events where you can meet and scope out the sitters in person) or online (where you can [...]
