Make a Statement

Kathleen — Sat, 12 May 2012 14:00:18 +0000

Texas gals know their statement jewelry, so we’re more than on top the resurgence of statement necklaces. These bold baubles are a great way to add color to an ordinary outfit. Wear it over a buttoned up collar to be on the forefront of this trend. We can’t get enough of this look, and are spying it all over campus! Fashion tip: pair a statement necklace with an otherwise minimal look to avoid looking too be-jeweled; we’ll leave that to Lady Gaga. Here are a few options from one of our favorite Texans, Kendra Scott:

Red in Fred Gets a Makeover

Kathleen — Sat, 12 May 2012 14:00:18 +0000

Our Red withdrawals are finally coming to an end! The Fredericksburg Best Store has been hard at work since Monday completely redesigning their store. We’re still expecting the same country couture style we’ve grown to love, but with a few more modern lines and—by the looks of it—a fresh color palette. Stop by sometime this weekend to check out the new look!

We’re not sure who’s more obsessed with these DV by Dolce Vita sandals, us or Kim Kardashian. The celeb has been spotted all around town sporting her T-Straps looking effortlessly chic. You can have your very own pair for only $69 at Abilene Best Store Betty & June.

Cowtown Chow Down

Kathleen — Fri, 11 May 2012 14:00:25 +0000

Fort Worth is quickly making a name for itself as a food truck haven, opening two food truck parks in the past year. The first, Fort Worth Food Park, was an unabashed hit and the second is well on track to be just as successful. Aptly named Cowtown Chow Down, the second park caters to folks roaming between the Downtown Cultural District and the Fort Worth Stockyards and can accommodate up to 20 food trucks at a time, making it one of the largest selections of gourmet food truck dining options in the DFW area. This particular food truck park will feature both covered and indoor climate-controlled seating in addition to an arts and crafts corner and a space for live entertainment. There will be an official grand opening celebration at 10am on Thursday, May 17, but if you can’t make it, don’t worry. Cowtown Chow Down is open seven days a week and will feature these delectable vendors throughout the year.

Honor Thy Mother

Kathleen — Thu, 10 May 2012 21:26:08 +0000

Although you should honor thy mother every day, Mom’s extra-special day is coming up this weekend. Here are some ways you and your Momma can share the day together in Austin:

1. Mother’s Café and Garden is an adorable spot in Hyde Park to take your mom out for Mother’s Day brunch. Their vegetarian and vegan menu is inventive and has a taste for everyone. We recommend the Enchiladas Mole—with special ingredient unsweetened chocolate—or the Banana Walnut Pancakes. Both are oh-so tasty!

2. Lake Austin Spa offers a Mother-Daughter Delight package in their Day Spa. The treatment includes an 80-minute massage for two, followed by a pedicure and manicure in the salon. The package also includes lunch and a gift for each of you. This option is a little on the pricey side, but we think Mom’s worth it.

3. If you won’t get to see your Mom this Mother’s Day, but want to send a card home to show her that you’re thinking of her, head to the Paper Source on Lamar. This is the ultimate spot for unique cards—the paper and color options are virtually endless. They also carry a selection of gifts, making it incredibly easy to build a chic care package for mom.
