Yeah, a smidge random that there are TWO jewelry events this Thursday, but hey, we can roll with it. I won’t be at either, as I’ll be running the Nike Human Race training run I’ve come to love so dearly. But for those not pounding the pavement: Design Your Own Necklace at Madewell Visit the…

Biking in the Car Lane!
Today is monumental. Today I biked in the car lane. I took my mom’s loaner hybrid (a red Gary Fisher Nirvana, for bike nerds) to the Gold’s Gym on 6th & Congress, about a 2-mile trek from my house that involves biking down either 5th or 6th Street. Last time I chose 6th Street, but…
I <3 Sabia
There are some things I don’t get about Austin. Like today when I was trying to find DaVine Foods for some sprouted grain pizza, and I stumbled into the Enchanted Forest where a man was welding some things and didn’t notice me as I walked by four times looking hopelessly out of place. Only in…
Vintage Mecca
I read in Melanie Spencer’s statesman.com blog today that La Luz Home and Fashion and Prototype Vintage are planning to merge into one vintage mega-store.

J’Tote Bags
I wrote an article on J’Tote, a line of laptop bags from Austinite Jeri Barr, in the November/December issue of Texas Home & Living magazine, but it just occurred to me that I should put a link to them here too! They are super stylish bags with lots of room and tons of padding to…
Sittin’ in Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse
Driving over here, I realized why people love Starbucks so much. I was nervous. Nervous to go to a freakin’ coffeeshop! But I didn’t want to look like the newbie. Regulars are nestled into their fave tables with their laptops and “the usual,” and I didn’t want to stick out like a sore thumb. I…
