Last year, thanks to  you guys, I started the series Do In Dallas. This is where I feature places around Dallas that I would recommend for travelers, locals, or people who just want to see more of the city. Today, it's all about the shopping. Milk & Honey is a local boutique, nestled right in the heart of Dallas. Milk & Honey offers fashion forward clothing and accessories for all budgets, which makes finding the perfect outfit even easier. If you can't make it to Dallas, be sure to visit them online...happy shopping!    If you have ideas or places you'd like to see here, please feel free to let me know! I value your ...

I am excited to share an amazing opportunity to give back this holiday season. Los Angeles-based brand Splendid® is launching a nationwide holiday book drive for Milk + Bookies benefiting local Boys & Girls Clubs, December 3, 2013 through January 3, 2014 at the Splendid Store Northpark Center in Dallas. So what is this all about? Well, in honor of the season of giving, families are encouraged to bring new or gently used books to Splendid® stores to donate to children without access to books of their own. To add to the giving-back experience, donators will be able to inscribe their donated books with a description about what they love about reading. Plus, each participant will receive an I DONATED sticker, to reinforce the amazing feeling that comes with giving to someone else. As an added incentive, Splendid is offering each participant a free “stripe” in the brand’s popular “Earn Your Stripes” loyalty program for each book donated. Those extra-generous givers donating 5 books or more are rewarded with 50% off a single Splendid item. Milk + BookiesTM is a nationwide charitable organization that inspires children to give back, using books as its currency. The organization facilitates opportunities for children to raise book ...

It's no secret that I love the fair. Not just any fair, but the Texas State Fair. Nothing is quite like it. It's a great time of year for many reasons... 1. Fall is quickly approaching 2. Cooler weather is on the way (hopefully!) and 3. It takes me back to sweet memories with my husband.  We go to the fair every year and always partake in one crazy food item and one Fletcher's Corn Dog. This year I didn't get to crazy and just went straight for the fried oreo. So good! If you are coming to the fair I recommend this site to help guide you. It gives you a detailed schedule of all the events and fills you in on all the delicious food options. My top picks- Fletcher's Corn Dogs (a must),  fried oreos, bacon cinnamon rolls, fried nutella (didn't try it but everyone who did raved about it), and salt water taffy. All good for the diet of course! Happy fair days my friends! SHOP THE LOOK ...

For today's "Do In Dallas" post I couldn't help but share the deliciousness known as Sprinkles Ice Cream. A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to try a taste in their new Dallas Store and it was AMAZING! Waiting in a very long line in 101 degree weather is not my idea of a good time but the reward at the end made it all the better. I typically choose boring flavors and live with a fear of regretting my ice cream decision, so I went with Chocolate Chip (and sprinkles of course). For all you daredevils out there they had a long list of fun and creative flavors such as Cap'n Crunch, and Cherry Vanilla. Best of all, served in a red velvet waffle cone. Done and done. If you live in the DFW area or are planning to make a trip out here, I definitely suggest you add Sprinkles to your "to do" list. You won't regret it, even if you are waiting in a very long line!
