Rosebud

Still on a bit of a hiatus this week. To bridge the gap, I thought I'd share some floral fun from local Rosebud Lips.

Have a bunch to share when I return..fashion shows, shoe designers, reality TV shows...Oh my!

Sushi Choo Choo

I ate at the coolest place this weekend. It's called Sushi Choo Choo, the "moving" sushi restaurant. Perplexed (and a bit fascinated) by how the restaurant "moves," we of course had to see for ourselves. The concept is ingenious, especially for those a bit sheepish with sushi. The "choo choo" of freshly made mini sushi plates travel on a mini conveyor belt, in front of your seat (see video below). Each plate is color coded by price level, so you know exactly what price it is before you gobble it down. The menu is a no-brainer with colorful pictures and clearly worded descriptions so you can decide what you want to grab off of the belt. Not only was it an amusing concept, but I ate until I was stuffed, and my meal was about $11. Go ride the train.

Get Your Bonnet On

I'm a northeastern girl at heart, so I'm always fascinated by little Texas-isms. The latest phenomenon that has me all giddy, is the celebration of the bluebonnets. While driving down 290 this past weekend, there were hoards of Moms, Dads, kids, and puppy dogs pulled over on the interstate, rolling around in the wild flowers, and taking photographs. Commonplace to many, but completely new to me! Now I am obsessed with taking my own furry family for a photo shoot. So where are some of the best places to do this? The best resource I've found is Lone-star.net. They have a bulletin board where people can post wildflower sightings. Anyone else have a stellar resource?

Atty Myer

A new year always seems to bring about new talent. While hunting for a new clutch, I came across these perfect little handmade bags by Atty Myer. At only $24 a piece, I highly suggest stocking up on every style.

Nooks and Crackers...er Crannies

Just wanted to give a BIG thank you to one of my fellow organizers, Janine Godwin, for giving Houston's Weekly Chic such a super sweet write up on her (highly entertaining) Nooks and Crannies blog. Whenever you need some helpful information/advice along with a pinch of wit and a dash of sarcastic humor, go check it out. She's a trip. Thanks Janine!
