I'm Back...

5/28/2013

Well, lovelies I'm back. I know that it's been while... but I needed to take a little break. So much has been happening over the past few months. If you follow me on instagram then you probably already know that the hubby and I are packing our bags and moving to St. Louis, Missouri. With one decision, our perfectly mapped out life was altered, jostled, and shaken about. Every weekend has been filled with family and friends, and we have  dedicated copious amounts of time to apartment hunting, city exploring, and (for me) job hunting.  Needless to say, I am sad about leaving my beloved city. However, we are going to conquer our list of Dallas to-do's, and say au revoir to Dallas and hello to St. Louis.  Life is moving on and so are we. I am going to continue to document my adventures and share the things I love. 

xoxo

Well, Dallasites we are successfully making our way through this oh-so-wonderful week! So far it's been absolutely splendid - brunch, a movie, shopping, and a visit to the Dallas Zoo today!  Tomorrow I leave for Washington D.C. to visit my sweet girlfriend, Mary! I couldn't be more excited! An evening monument tour, capitol wanderings, museums, and of course quality time with my love. I'll definitely be taking lots of pictures to share with y'all when I return! If you want to keep up with my little vacation, I would love for you to follow me on Instagram.

Have a glorious week & weekend! xoxo

Lula B Who....?

Once upon a time I really disliked antique malls, flea markets, and thrift stores. As a child I found them cluttered and dirty - which is odd because I didn't grow in a house that implanted that idea in my head. As a matter of fact, my mother is the BEST bargain shopper I've ever met. She just has a knack for finding hidden treasures and I guess it took 20+ years for me to truly appreciate the fabulousness that is antique malls, flea markets, and thrift stores. I stumbled across Lula B's shortly after moving downtown. Cool Stuff for Cool People? Check and double check. Located in Deep Ellum, Lula B's is filled with vintage loveliness and I could probably spend hours wandering through this two-storied gem.

Happy Birthday Flo...

Yesterday, I celebrated the thirtieth birthday of my darling friend Florence - who is behind the A.MAZ.ING blog, Made by Firenze. It is a completely fabulous  personal blog about food, crafts, and inspiring "eunoia" - which translated means beautiful thinking. And Florence is the epitome of beautiful. Read her blog, it could not be cuter. 

Her birthday dinner proved to be a simply sincere soiree. Recognizing Florence's love of Europe and stripes, we were all invited to Toulouse Café and Bar for dinner, and we were all asked to wear our favorite striped confection. How adorable is that?! So, I put on my favorite striped maxi dress, layered it with a sweater, and headed to a French bistro right here in Dallas. 

I'll be honest, I've never been to France - but I have this romantic vision of old chateaus, cobblestone streets, macaroons, and sweet little cafes all swirling with opulence and modernity. Toulouse was everything I wanted it to be - the menu, the adorable patio (perfect for people watching), and the delightful atmosphere. It was the perfect place to celebrate Florence's birthday. 

To another thirty years! xoxo

The Jewel of San Antonio...

There isn't anything I love more than super chic historic hotels. I love all the grandeur, opulence, and luxurious details . Dallas has an abundance of beautiful hotels including some simply marvelous historic hotels. 

So while in San Antonio we took it upon ourselves to tour some of the city's hotels - which was so much fun! My favorite among them was The Fairmount San Antonio. Built in 1906, this landmark hotel was absolutely delightful. I loved all the pretty chairs , the gorgeous chandeliers, and charming courtyard! And talk about adorable - they have a dog, named Luke, that lives at the hotel full time! Check out the doggy bed in the picture below!
