J Brand Has My Name Written All Over It
The Duchess of Cambridge is wearing them, so are posh moms, Heidi Klum and Hilary Duff. J Brand has been a constant staple in every premium denim lover’s closet for years, and I had the opportunity to see their ready-to-wear collection and be fitted by Oscar, J Brand’s “denim guru.” Oscar has earned that title, as I left TOOTSIES Dallas, where they have the largest selection of J Brand Jeans, feeling confident in my denim and liberated by wearing the right size. (Note: I seem to like my clothes baggy, as I chose sizes that were 1-2 sizes bigger than I should. THANKS, OSCAR!) RPM: What is the most common…

Empire Baking Company Rises to the Top For the Holidays

Empire Baking Co. delivered to my family their amazing pecan pie, gingerbread (which was gone over a weekend by my WHOLE family), brownies (a crowd-pleaser!), scones and croissants. By the way, I am still dreaming about those scones, that are light and fluffy. We ordered some more for our family to enjoy on Christmas morning. 🙂 What a great hostess gift or celebration with your neighbors! Each is made from scratch with the finest ingredients…

Crisp Salad Co. Adds More Green to Greenville Ave.
Crisp Salad Company, located right across the street from Dallas’ only Trader Joe’s, adds a healthy restaurant alternative by introducing a hybrid concept that combines the build-your-own-salad or wrap experience with a tastefully designed menu and a new, freshness-inspired touch. My daughter and I had the pleasure of trying this fresh place for a media lunch. As the name implies, Crisp Salad Company is all about the salad, not as an appetizer or warm-up, but as an expertly chopped or deliciously wrapped healthy meal. The restaurant menu features seasonal, local and organic produce. The salad dressings are prepared in-house. I ordered the highly recommended Street Taco Salad, which includes spicy…
