Sunday Night Shows
November 14, 2010
X and I have a regular routine of cozying up on the couch Sunday evenings to enjoy some of our favorite shows. We loved True Blood and Mad Men. But now that they've ended, we've transitioned to Boardwalk Empire and Dexter. I'm really not a regular TV watcher- most nights are spent away from it- but I do love this routine of watching our returning series once a week. It's a nice way to end the weekends.

Nordstrom Finds
November 13, 2010
A while back I entered a giveaway over at the Happy Hour with a Housewife, and I won! I found some items on Nordstroms' website that I really liked, but I decided to pay a visit to their store front to scope out any other goodies. Here's what I ended up finding:
Three shirts:
They're all the same style, but they were on sale (yay, Nordy's Half-Yearly sale!). Actually only one was really on sale, but since the other two were on the sale rack, they honored the sale prices.
Love the pretty patterns.
A cardigan, also on sale:
I also ended up picking up a tank to wear under the shirts and the jacket I posted about earlier. I'm sad I didn't find any shoes I ended up loving, but overall, I'm really happy with my purchases!
Happy Friday!!

North x Northwest
November 11, 2010
This past weekend, X and I were in North Austin to run a few errands, and we decided to stop by a restaurant/brewery I've been wanting to try for a loooonnnngggg time: North by Northwest. Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the interior or exterior, but it was a very nice atmosphere for lunch (and I think would be for dinner too!). I had a burger + garlic fries:
The fries were so, so good. Garlic usually doesn't appeal to me, but it was just enough to add the right amount of flavor.
X ordered the pulled pork sandwhich + garlic fries:

X ordered the pulled pork sandwhich + garlic fries:
Very tasty. It came with a mango salsa on top, which made it a little sweeter than I've tried before.
And of course, we couldn't stop by and not try their locally brewed beer. No pictures :( But I had the Northern Lights (an light beer, tasting similar to Amstel Light) and X tried the Bavarian Hefeweizen (a pretty typical hefeweizen with a hint of banana- sounds weird, but it soooo was good).
We were both really impressed with this place and only wish they were a little farther south so that we could visit it more frequently!
Just a Reminder...

Tomorrow is the start of the Gap (includes Old Navy & BR) 30% off sale that will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The sale is only valid for in-store purchase and you can find your coupon here.
A few of my favorites:
Plain black ballerina flat that can be dressed up with handmade shoe embellishments (think fabric or beaded goodies). I've been looking everywhere for plain black flats, this might be them:
I have this skirt in navy and I love it. So comfortable and can be dressed up or down. I might need a second one in grey, hmmm...
I love this sweater dress, and it's price. Now if only it would get cold enough here to wear it.
