Boo Mail

Just in time for Halloween! I have a soft spot for simple yet delightfully charming stationary. Check out the modern Houston stationer (yes that is a word, I looked it up) A Punkin Card Company. Not only do they have some adorable Halloween cards, but tons of other beauties as well. The owner, Amie Needham also has a kick ass blog that features Indie artists. Hooray for buying handmade!

Spend a Night in Hell

Get in the Halloween spirit with a little dose of Lucifer! Don't worry, this Hell is a lot more fun than the regular Hell. This hell has a lot of laughs, and most importantly, lots of booze.

It is Pendulum Theatre's staged reading of the original play To Hell with Dante. Six dead actors wandering around the different levels of Dante's Inferno. What would you do? They choose to get drunk, and you can get drunk with them! With wine glass in hand, you can go along on their journey and wittness the Gluttons, Hoarders, Wasters, and a cast of numerous other characters. You'll even get to meet Satan himself! C'mon, like you have anything better to do on a Tuesday night?

The world premiere of this original production be performed as a staged reading October 7th and 9th, 8:00pm at the Silver House Theatre located at 1107 Chartres.

Cinnamon and Spice and Everything Nice

Take a look at this tasty little number by Modest Maven. It's their hand made Cinnamon Flare dress, and I think it's just perfect. I would totally want to drape a little pea coat shell or fitted sweater around it for day, and then add some extremely strappy and extremely high heels for the night on the town.

This spicy, and sizzling dress is also made of my favorite blend: 95% cotton with just enough lycra (5% for the mathematically challenged) to scare the wrinkles away. Can somebody please give me a reason why I shouldn't buy this dress? No seriously, that isn't a hypothetical. Anyone?

It's in the SAK

Look at this marvelously mod bag I spotted from Texas Beauties! It's handmade from canvas so it's super durable, and has three..that's right count them...three pockets inside as well as a zipper pouch. Plus, have I mentioned that pleats are WAAAY in this season? The printed cotton liner is also super adorable. I just want to fill it with my ipod, a good book, a bathing suit, and fly to an exotic beach for the weekend!

Chicka what!?!?

I'd just like to take this moment to declare my love. I never thought I could be in love like this. This isn't superficial love. This is not an infatuation. This is agape love at its finest. I am in love with an enchilada. It's Chuy's very own Chicka Chicka Boom Boom enchiladas. I know they don't look like much, but they are filled with delicious roasted pulled chicken and melted cheese. However, the magic lies on top. Boom Boom sauce. Oh dear sweet baby Jesus the Boom Boom sauce. I imagine in heaven, everything you eat is covered in Boom Boom sauce. I don't know what's in it, but I want to bathe in it. If you haven't lost your appetite with that image, go eat one at Chuy's. Click here for location info.

Hello Lucky: Support your local artists!

My newest obsession (well...if two years constitutes new) has been cozy printed t-shirts. I'm a casual girl, and they allow me to live in a casual world without looking like a fashion victim. This is why I can't wait to go explore the artist designed collections at Hello Lucky.

They have designs for ladies, gentlemen, kids, and even baby onesies. They have this simple, yet sooo precious birdie onsie that I definitely want to buy. I just need to rent a child to put it on.

As you can see by the photo above, they don't stop at clothing. They have funky fresh jewelry for guys and gals, yummy gifts of candles, soaps, vanilla sugar, local honey, hot sauces, and gift cards. If you shop at Hello Lucky during September or October, a portion of your purchase will be donated to Glasstire, a fantabulous non-profit that encourages awareness of Texas visual art. So what are you waiting for? Go out there and support our Houston artists!!
