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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
