Men’s Night at milk + honey, 5pm-8pm Stop by SALON by milk + honey on Thursday from 5-8pm for an evening devoted to men. Complimentary chair massages, neck trims, and hair consultations. For the ladies,…

A Mama Fu’s Surprise
I have to preface talking about my experience at Mama Fu’s last night by letting you in on my bias: the other day, my parents and I drove by a Mama Fu’s and my parents started talking about how they had just gone last week and loved it. I looked at them puzzled and said,…
Happy Birthday Jo’s! + a veggie sandwich update
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s Halloween. I ended up dressing as Sarah Palin … so didn’t want to, but after four different and unrelated people suggested it, in the end I couldn’t resist. Especially since I owned everything needed except the fake glasses, so how much easier can you get? Anyway, plenty of lists exist for…
Magazine Throwdown Thursday
Are you a Tribeza girl or Austin Monthly man? Because AM is hosting not one but TWO events this Thursday, while the ‘Bez is hosting just one event, and I’m not even sure the drinks are free this time around! Two of the events are just one block apart … oh the drama! Deets: Tribeza…
Big Friday!
In honor of the recession, do free things tonight (at least until 10): Happy Hour Pre-Party thing at do512: 10th Anniversary Party at Shiki on Second Street 6-10pm celebration with drinks, food, DJ, and giveaways! Come to Shiki and shop!
OMG the BEST veggie sandwich I’ve ever had
“I need your advice,” I say to the guy behind the counter at Jo’s on Second Street. “Veggie burger or veggie sandwich?” Without a second’s hesitation, almost before I’ve finished talking, he says, “Veggie sandwich.” Ok. Let me pause here and say that I don’t really like sandwiches. Most of them have too much bread…
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…
Let’s talk about the Second Street District
Formerly, I was not impressed with the Second Street District. My main beef was that it’s ridiculously hard to park. I get that it’s a mixed-use development and you’re supposed to walk, but say you don’t live there and you still want to shop there–give me just one free parking garage! Bridges on Lamar has…
Another Thursday, Another Plethora of Events
Good thing I have that fence to paint (it’s never done. You finish building the sucker and you just have to paint it) or I’d never be able to decide which of these events to go to! That and I’d go to the LAST Nike training run at SIX lounge before the big run this…
Emerald’s + Peyton’s Place
Boutiques in Austin are a dime a dozen nowdays, so sometimes I forget about the old standbys, like Emeralds. Long occupying primo 6th & Lamar real estate, the clothing and gift shop is a spot of some confusing identities–$25 tops next to $425 dresses–but nonetheless a great place to find something to wear. The shoe…
