Hello there, super-expensive-tailored-perfectly-to-my-body-shirt. You arrived in the mail last week. (Remember when I went to get fitted?) A nice, thick box with a red bow on top. I opened the box–like they do in the movies, where you can gently raise the lid and don’t have to rip into miles of packing tape–and behold! a…

Thursday is back to being Thursday
Last week, Wednesday was the new Thursday: jam-packed with events. This week, Thursday is back and bigger and better than ever … must be the holiday season! I’m torn! Which to go to?! Magazine Issue Launch: Austin Monthly Austin Monthly is launching their December COOL issue and the winter issue of Austin Monthly Home at…
I quote: “Free drinks and art viewing”
So said a friend of mine. About one of these events, but I can’t remember which. He had no idea Wednesday is the new Thursday this week and it is jam-packed with events. Wednesday Post-Work Agenda: 1) SHOP Join Austin designer Linda Asaf as she hosts her 4th Annual Austin Designer Sample Sale. Head to…
Settlement Home Garage Sale
Tonight we went to the preview party of the Settlement Home Garage Sale. My parents have been going for something ridiculous like 18 years, my brother and I have been going for at least six. This year, we brought friends and everyone scored some awesome deals. The bro and I bought five dining room chairs…
Good Fashion!
I often post in posts and on that little side bar about all the things I see that make me upset/sad/angry that nobody’s mama taught them to dress as well as mine taught me. But in the spirit of being positive, I want to write a few notes about things that totally WORK that I’ve…
Hamilton Shirts at Johnstone Made to Order
I often get told I act like a man … “a boy born with different parts,” and the like. Today, however, I was happy to be acting like a man when I went to get fitted for a Hamilton shirt. The Houston-based company custom-fits and manufactures dress shirts for men. And me. I stopped over…
Thursday: Steak or Fashion?
Steak You might say the answer to that question divides along gender lines, but really, it’s a toss-up for me. Houston legend Perry’s Steakhouse and Grille hosts a Grand Opening dinner Thursday night with four courses and wine pairings from the restaurant’s exclusive private label. The restaurant is in the Norwood building where a bank…
Tidbits or Tribeza? Tough Thursday!
I LOVE Austin Tidbits parties. They’re rare (quarterly?), obviously causing them to be more exciting than Tribeza parties, and they usually have fab gift bags and super-fashiony people, making them way more exciting. Not that Tribeza parties don’t have fashiony people–and I will say they draw a fair man-crowd, whereas Tidbits men are randoms off…
Now, a Diatribe on White Pants*
*And other fashiony things I need to get off my chest It’s really hot in Austin, I know. A “cold front” came through tonight and we all got excited because it dropped to 80, but by the time I’m walking around downtown at noon tomorrow, it’ll be 1,956 degrees again and I’ll be sweating through…
Glossy 8 Party
The Statesman’s style writers are all abuzz about the Glossy 8 party tonight. I’m hoping that means plans are huge and it should be awesome! It’s the first time since I’ve been tracking down Austin events (about 2 years now) that I’ve heard about the Statesman throwing a party, so maybe that’s the buzz. Whatever…
