The other day I’m sitting at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (on S Lamar, but I cannot wait for the 38th & Lamar location to open–rumor has it August 8 is the day!!) with Alexandra from Alexandra’s Cookie Dreams and before we know it, our casual conversation turns into girl talk with 2 other…

Before your rave day, check out: Christmas in July at Soigne Boutique, 6-8pm Mr. Clause will make an appearance a little…
Texas 360 Now: Former Longhorns Come to the Web
Both the Statesman and TexasSports.com have covered this, but I think it’s just too cool not to jump on the bandwagon: on Monday, TJ Ford, Royal Ivey, Kevin Durant, D.J. Augustin, and LaMarcus Aldridge launched a website to connect with fans and basically just share their lives: www.texas360now.com. I’ll let TJ Ford, who pairs with…
Weekend
Tonight: Achachay! at Dizzy Rooster 8-10pm. I’ve been to this frat-tastic bar only a few times, but all of those times included me dancing on a bar … sober. That boy is headed to Rise Against with Rancid at Stubb’s. Should be a good time, look for a tall Vermon(s)ter standing outside before the show…
Frozen Yogurt is the New Cupcake
It’s bad. It’s the new trend. And I’m totally on the bandwagon. My new frozen yogurt obsession started with an innocuous trip to the MamboBerry trailer on South Congress, where they serve yogurt that is frozen. Absurd delicious. The whole fam, including the Cali Aunt and Uncle, loved it. Tart and sour with nuts and…

The Rumors are True: Annie’s is Good
Excuse the iphone quality, but how good does that plate look?? That’s some eggplant something (thin slices of eggplant wrapped around polenta in a marinara sauce with cheese), ratatouille (yum!!), and pear-walnut salad. Lovin’ it. Much has been written about beloved Annie’s, so I won’t repeat the same. I will say this: make sure you’re…
All the Single Ladies, All the Single Ladies … or Sirens N’ Boots Wednesday Night
Pardon the Beyonce reference, as Sirens N’Boots just sounds smokin’ hot, right, like a burlesque show in cowboy boots, like Southern songstresses ready to kick ass while lookin’ good? I mean, that’s what I’m like every night. Anyway, tomorrow night a three-piece all-girl group of singer-songwriters is eschewing their individual reps to form an act…
