Grapevine Main Street Days

Kathleen — Thu, 17 May 2012 15:00:10 +0000

Even though the thermometer has been clocking in like it’s mid-June, summer hasn’t officially kicked off yet. Make it official at Grapevine Main Street Days this Friday through Saturday in Historic Downtown Grapevine. Not only will there be a carnival (and therefore all the best festival foods—corn dogs, funnel cakes, fried everything), but there will also be a bona fide Pizza Piazza. That’s right, nine Grapevine pizzerias are rolling out their dough for the weekend event that also features live entertainment on six stages. Sip on international wines and craft beers as you shop a variety of different vendors, or hop on a free shuttle to an offsite Grapevine winery tasting session. You can purchase daily tickets for $7, or come out on Friday from 10am-5pm, when admission is free to the public. For a full breakdown of the weekend, click here.

You’ll have three full days to snatch up the fresh collection, so head on over to the Houston Best Store today through Friday to see what we’ve all been waiting for.

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!

It Really is Everything But Water

Kathleen — Fri, 11 May 2012 20:32:33 +0000

We got a sneak peek at the new accessories cabana at Everything But Water in Preston Center today, and we’ve never been more ready for beach season. We’re willing to overlook the donuts we had for breakfast this morning in order to sport all of the fab new accessories we spotted. Plus, Brittany—the “official” unofficial bikini whisperer—will find you a suit with a great fit that leaves you feeling confident. Here are a few of our favorites from the store:

DV by Dolce Vita Footwear
Hat Attack Clutch with Neon
L*Space Fringe Bikini
Deux Lux Bags: Everything But Water Exclusive

Check it out for yourself tomorrow from 1-5pm and enjoy cocktails, light bites, tarot card readings and designer trunk shows from LEIGHELENA and HILA.

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.

The Austin Flea

Kathleen — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:00:51 +0000

Even if you’re not on the prowl for your next DIY project, you’ll want to stop by The Austin Flea this Saturday at The Highball on South Lamar from 11am-5pm. Austin’s most talented will be gathered together, selling their handmade and vintage wares ranging from jewelry and clothing to artwork and home accessories. When you’re done shopping, reward yourself with a cocktail or two at The Highball’s lovely cocktail bar.

Rebels & Roses Music Festival

Kathleen — Wed, 09 May 2012 22:20:30 +0000

There’s no such thing as too much country music in Texas, which is why we’re loving the Rebels & Roses Music Festival hitting Tyler tomorrow through Saturday at the K.E Bushman’s Winery and Celebration Center. Featuring three days of nothing but country music from over 25 different artists, this event is perfect for the whole family. Buy single day passes or pack a tent and stay all weekend long (Woodstock-style). Either way, you won’t want to miss names like Jason Meadows, Casey Donahew and Stoney Larue.

y&i Opening in West Village

Kathleen — Tue, 08 May 2012 14:00:35 +0000

Texas is finally getting a second location—the first is in Austin—of y&i clothing boutique in none other than Dallas’ very own West Village. It’s only fitting that best friends and owners Robin & Robyn bring their fashionable enterprise back to Dallas—they first met as high school students in Dallas, thus forming the friendship that has brought us chic, affordable clothing over the years. Expect designers like Rachel Pally, Free People, Page Premium Denim and LA Made in addition to the boutique’s own label of wallet-friendly clothing. The boutique is slated to open on May 9, but an official grand opening is scheduled for early June so we’ll keep you posted as the deets roll in.
