More shots by Scott and Kristi Redman when I was in NYC!

AT THE SOHO GRAND
These photos were snapped in the Soho Grand Hotel in New York by Scott and Kristi Redman of D Style Sheet. They are just some of my favorite people, and it made me smile to see Dallas friends in NYC! I love the art deco feel of the Soho Grand dining area and bar. Very warm and inviting on a snowy day! Please go there and order a glass of champagne and the grilled cheese. I'm ashamed to admit that I did that more than once, but it was so worth it.

ENDLESS SUMMER
Wearing Rag & Bone jeans, vintage bone choker, vintage belt, sleeveless sweater, and Casadei boots from a few years ago, similar here
Happy Valentines Day! I'll be posting pictures from New York soon, it has been a whirlwind trip. For now I have to run to the Ralph Lauren show! If you follow my blog closely, you must know that I am die-hard obsessed with everything Ralph Lauren. You have no idea how excited I am! You will here more from me once I get back to Dallas and things settle down. Hope you have a great Valentines Day!
SUNNY TEXAS DAY
These photos were obviously taken back in sunny Texas, on a lazy day spent devouring Tex-Mex with my boyfriend. Makes me awfully homesick to think about it! I feel like this is a funny outfit for me, much girlier than anything I would normally wear. I hardly ever wear any kind of jewelry! Guess the weather brings out my feminine side.

Wearing a Rag & Bone top, Anine Bing Jeans, Dries van Noten shoes, and the Alice & Olivia embossed leather bag
I am really excited to share with you these photso of the new Alice & Olivia handbag collection taken during a day of shopping in Dallas. I love both of these bags, I could not pick a favorite if you asked me to!

I arrived in New York last night, just barely got in before Nemo hit. I look at the snow piled up outside my window and these pictures seem like they were taken so long ago!
Below is my favorite part of the trip: the Weather Up. A little hard to find, but once you go in you will never want to leave!
This is a Tuxedo #2 and it is my new favorite cocktail!
Sea of Shoes Guide to Austin
Best Austin Vintage Shopping:
Feathers Vintage
1700 S Congress Ave
Austin, TX 78704
I've been a loyal Feathers customer for years and years. Masha and Emily have an amazing eye for buying. Their store is highly edited and I think that is what sets it apart from a lot of other Austin vintage stores. I found amazing stuff on this trip!
Laced With Romance
1601 S First St
Austin, TX 78704
I've shopped from Laced with Romance's Ebay for a long time so I was really excited when they opened up a physical location! Very Austin, lots of witchy cloaks and velvet.
Prototype Vintage Design
1700 S Congress Ave
Austin, TX 78704
It's right by Feathers and definitely worth a trip in. Great t-shirts.
Moss Vintage
705 B S Lamar
Austin, TX 78704
I've heard wonderful things about it but regrettably have never been in myself. Apparently it is not to be missed, do stop in if you can!
Record shopping:
Friends of Sound
1704 S Congress Ave
Austin, TX 78704
End of An Ear Records
2209 S 1st St
Austin, TX 78704
Waterloo Records
600A N. Lamar
Austin, TX 78703
Waterloo and End of an Ear are pricey but good.
My Favorite Places to Eat:
Blue Dahlia Bistro
1115 E 11th St
Austin, TX 78702
Blue Dahlia is my favorite place. The tartines are all to die for. I love the atmosphere and the patio, very laid back and cozy. I wish I got to Austin all the time just to eat here!
Uchi
801 S Lamar Blvd
Austin, TX 78704
This one is super famous and super obvious, I have to put it on here. People say it's the best sushi in the U.S.
Kome
4917 Airport Blvd
Austin, TX 78751
This is also sushi. My boyfriend and I went here several times last summer and loved it every time! I wish I could remember some of the things we ordered, but rest assured, everything is delicious and you will enjoy yourself.
Justine's
4710 E 5th St
Austin, TX 78702
I personally have not been to Justine's, but I'm told I have to include it in this guide. French food with a cult following.
Parkside
301 E 6th St
Austin, TX 78701
Love this place, the restaurant itself is beautiful, the pizza is delicious, but the sides are the best part! Another place that makes me wish I got to Austin more often.
Thanks to the Austin friends who helped me put this guide together! I can't wait to get back!
EAST AUSTIN SUCCULENTS
We made a point to stop by East Austin Succulents at the recommendation of a friend, and I am so glad we did! The greenhouses and grounds were beautiful. They had a juice bar, a vintage store, and a mysterious botanical potion place in trailers. Definitely worth a trip to work out your green thumb, grab a juice and check out Elphas Maximus Vintage. They also make AMAZING breakfast tacos at the juice bar. I walked away stuffed.
