TRIO at the Four Seasons Introduces a Happy Hour!
I’ve raved about TRIO more times than probably any other restaurant, but it isn’t necessarily a low-budget night out. Enter Happy Hour. Now one of the city’s finest restaurants and wine-spots is offering a Happy Hour Monday through Saturday from 5-8pm! 1/2 off appetizers and 1/2 off wines by the glass in the TRIO Wine…
Austin Restaurant Week 2, Round 2
Round two of Austin’s second Restaurant Week is NOW, March 8-11, so try a restaurant on the cheap with prix-fixe $25 or $35 menus. My G and I tried Jeffrey’s last week and were pretty happy. I went with beet salad, gnocchi (pictured), and chocolate cake. He went crispy oysters, ribs (pictured), and crepes. Luckily,…

Le Garage
La la la every girl in Austin gets so hyped over Le Garage, but the one time I went, I wasn’t overly impressed.

Super cheap magazines!
Wow, I’ve been running across some great deals lately!

They make money…
Designer Clearance House
Driving down Burnet Road the other day, I was stopped in my tracks by the Designer Clearance House. This rarely happens to me, but who am I to turn down Designer clearances? I turn my car around and pop into the little shop to be greeted by a friendly man named Lalo. I ignore him…
Let’s talk accessories …
Since life has apparently shut down excepting New Year’s Eve promotions, I have to find something else to blog about. So I’m thinking about accessories. Mainly because I a) don’t have any to go with my stunning vintage dress that I will wear on said NYE, and b) I’m thinking of cute things to get…
Post-Christmas Sales!!
Don’t know how good they’re gonna be, but I’m guessing that they’re gonna be even better than the 20-30% off of everything we saw before Christmas … plus, here are a few secret deals: Saks Fifth Avenue Today only, online and in store, designer wares are up to 75% off. Once the weekend hits, prices…
Reusable bags are all the rage …
… yes, but the problem with all these silly canvas totes is what to do with produce? You still get a bazillion of those little cheap baggies that you can’t even use as trash can liners (what I do with store plastic bags). Enter Austin company Blue Avocado (why?) with their Grocery Packs, including resuable…
