So I’ve been meaning to post for awhile on the new (not so new now) boutique I serendipitously stumbled upon one morning while waiting for a table at the original Kerbey Lane. Caroline’s is an amazing boutique in the old lululemon spot. Caroline’s features fresh, affordable pieces, all walking that amazing line between perfect for…

It’s Thursday, do you know where your parties are?
I’ve heard good things about the Jeff Lofton Quartet and a Brunette teammate planned this event, so there’s nothing stopping me! $10 donation at the door will get you a raffle ticket and drink specials! The Belmont, 7-10pm Relaxing Mom’s Night Out more your style? UpSpring Baby is celebrating the first ever National Moms Nite…
Z Pizza + Counter-Guy Austin = Awesome
During Cinco de Mayo block party yesterday, we forewent the long lines for un-free beer and ‘ritas inside the 21+ fence-tent and stopped by new 2nd Street spot Z Pizza. Inside, the two girls I was with and I peppered the counter guy with questions: “Is the chicken free range?” (no, but it’s “nitrate-free”) “Do…
Trendwatch: Summer Scarves
Summer Scarves Yes, it’s true, I am in love with the summer scarf. I have been for quite some time. It differs from the winter scarf mainly in its weight, but also in color and fashion of wearing. This is an accessory, people, and you gotta adorn yourself with it. Pick light, gauzy fabrics in…
Drink for [a] Cause(s)
It seems like there are opportunities to support local charities in just about everything you do. While I don’t normally highlight events until a day or two before, I’ve got to get this on your calendar because it’s a cause near and dear to me (that, and I’m the Brunette QB, and we need to…

Weekend Summer Sweat (lots ‘o Crawfish Boils)
While there’s an official event called Summer Sweat, I figured it was a most apropos title for the events I am about to post for you: hanging out outdoors in the fine city of Austin, under the blazing sun of our first above-90-degree weekend. Hello, summer! First, the Farmer’s Market From Austin Farm to Table:…
Art + Free drinks on a Friday
It’s a smidge gloomy outside, but we’re hoping it’ll clear up by happy hour. TRIO? Belmont? Little Woodrow’s? 219 West? Can’t decide. If free booze is your thing, though, you won’t want to miss Austin Monthly’s May issue party at the Russell Collection Fine Art Gallery on West 6th. Be the first to see the…
