Driving down Burnet Road the other day, I was stopped in my tracks by the Designer Clearance House. This rarely happens to me, but who am I to turn down Designer clearances? I turn my car around and pop into the little shop to be greeted by a friendly man named Lalo. I ignore him…

Let’s talk accessories …
Since life has apparently shut down excepting New Year’s Eve promotions, I have to find something else to blog about. So I’m thinking about accessories. Mainly because I a) don’t have any to go with my stunning vintage dress that I will wear on said NYE, and b) I’m thinking of cute things to get…

Red House Lounge – Stortini + Stortini’s pizza = Red House Pizzeria
It’s a confusing bit of mathematical dining calculations, but basically Stortini’s lounge in the back–the Red House Lounge–was a much bigger success than the restaurant she sat in. So they closed Stortini Bistro. Then, the popular neighborhood bar stole the finer points of its sister restaurant, uh, the pizza, and expanded into the entire space.…
