In the world of snow in May (Aspen), flip-flops are an afterthought, relegated to suitcases and gym showers. My once numerous collection (courtesy growing up in Austin, Texas) has dwindled to a mere ten pairs, none of which have been worn for several summers. But with the impending move to the beach, flips-flops are back…

Are You a Sports Freak?
Warren Moon played for the Oilers from the year I was born until 1993. The Cowboys won a Super Bowl in 1993 and 1995. I had a lot to cheer for as a little girl growing up in Texas, watching Monday Night Football with my family gathered around the TV while we eat dinner. Times…
Meanwhile, in Austin … F1, H&M, and free food
As the former thisislifeinaustin, I still get a fair amount of Austin news, and I often wish I was in town for the fun. Despite the fact that my 10-year high school reunion is next week (what?! and does that warrant its own post??), I won’t be coming home til December. However, were I in…

John Paul DeJoria is the co-founder of Paul Mitchell Systems and Patron Spirits. John Paul and his wife, Eloise, believe that each of us has a daily responsibility…
Austin: Breaking News, H&M is coming!!
But not ’til this fall so you don’t actually get to purchase the teeny bikini shown here. Hennes & Mauritz, or H&M, or “achay y emmeh” as it will always be known to me as my first H&M visit was in Madrid where I was living, will open its 24,000-square-foot outpost in the Domain in the fall, offering women’s, men’s,…
