Austin Monthly Bachelor Issue Release Party

The Bachelor issue launches tonight at Gibson Guitar showroom at Penn Field. It’s an RSVP-only shindig with free food from Cuba Libre and Imperia and free drinks from Bombay Sapphire. Last time I went to one of their issue releases, they were pretty strict on the guestlist, so it’s not a party I’d recommend crashing. [...]

Networking: The Outlaw List + Mashable

So I went to an Acton MBA luncheon Friday (the entrenpreneurial MBA, they say), and I met some cool people, one of whom runs a list for young professionals called The Outlaw List. His last name is seriously Outlaw–how cool is that? Anyway, the list is all about networking–apparently Mr. Outlaw himself is a networker [...]

Athenian Grill (Re)Opens Downtown

More food torture for me: Apparently everyone loved the old Athenian Grill (closed for about 2 years now?) and is super-excited about the new one opening up at 6th and Congress, across from Ruth’s Chris. This Tuesday was its first day back in business, and the folks over at chowhound are already all over it, [...]

2nd Street District Sale Tonight

I tried to refrain from writing about this because, well, it seems like the 2nd Street District is ALWAYS hosting shopping extravaganzas, so that doesn’t really make it all that newsworthy. But after recieving my 10th email about the dang thing, I thought I might as well post it, in case one of you savvy shoppers [...]

Moonshine

Since all I want to do is eat some solid food (Day 9 of the Cleanse), I’m going to go ahead and torture myself and talk about Moonshine. The Third-and-Red-River hotspot has the best of many worlds–business/tourist traffic with the Convention Center and downtown and local traffic for the downtown reason and because it’s just [...]

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 [...]

Fashion Sticky Notes

... actual hideous things I see people wearing, and how to remedy the problems they present.

+ FIT, Fit, fit ... people, respect your body and how clothes fit on it. Stop wearing things that are too tight/too short/too baggy/too ANYTHING.
+"Ombre" hair ... the pinterest pin that says, "honey, we call that roots" is spot on. Dimension is hot. Drama is not.
+overdone blush. If we can see the lines, it's too much.
+Let's talk sportswear. Wear the appropriate things for your activity—if you are going to yoga, wear yoga pants. If you are playing volleyball, wear short shorts. If you are playing basketball, for the love, wear basketball shorts.
Things I Like and You Should Too

... because I knew about jellies shoes way before they were cool.

*the resurgence of friendship bracelets
*chambray shirts
*bold business suiting—you can pair tops and bottoms separately to tone it down
*patterned pants
*native american prints
*brightly-colored sunnies. they're SUNNIES after all.
*braids
