Austin: El Arbol = Awesome!
Fourscore and several years ago I was slated to do some PR for a sweet new restaurant opening up right in my ‘hood. It went so far as me being at menu tastings. Alas, other things got in the way (including some delayed city permitting), and I got to experience the glory that is El [...]

So some research [...]

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
