Austin: Saint Cecilia

There's nothing really new about what I'm saying here. I just love my experience so much every time I stay at the Saint Cecilia that I always feel compelled to post pics from recent jaunts to Austin.

 Aside from the Hastens beds, inspired decor, and dreamy ambience, a visit to the gift store is a highlight.

 A lot of the items can also be purchased at Bows + Arrows and Spartan on South Lamar, but it's nice that the hotel gift store is curated by them. 

 The lending library always has some interesting reads. 

After paying the bill at check out an outdoor breakfast complete with a leisurely look at the New York Times is a must. 

 Who wouldn't want to start a day this way?

 A vintage chandelier hanging from the canopy of branches....

 And the perfect latte and Fever Tree ginger ale - the best ginger ale ever and I consider myself a GA expert - while waiting for a truffle omelet, fruit crepe, and turkey sausage. Wish every morning could be like this. 

Dallas: Fabulous K

Wellllll? What do you think? The redesign is almost complete - just a few more tweaks - but I'm ready to begin blogging again. Kelly over at fabulous k creative did a nice job and I hope you enjoy her efforts as much as I am. 

Dallas: The Little Bean

I'm bummed, but what are you gonna do? Christine has decided to shutter The Little Bean location on Junius. Shop in-store while you can. The doors will close November 6.

Everywhere: Net-a-Porter

I wanted to wait until the redesign to blog something, but this just can't wait. Net-a-Porter's winter boutique launches today. I'm so in the mood for layering. Wish the weather would participate.

Dallas: I'm still here

TS&S is undergoing a redesign! Just wanted the many of you that keep checking back here to know what's shaking. Can't wait for you all to see the new clean look!
