Dallas Recap

I'm enjoying the day off today after working some crazy hours in Dallas.  This was my 3rd trip to Dallas and I have to say, the city is growing on me.  Maybe it's because I finally feel like I have my bearings and am startig to learn my way around.

I was mostly working, but when I had some down time I tried to do something enjoyable...and walking to FedEx Kinko's to pick up $800 worth of print out's doesn't count.

I took a walk through the Flagship (original) Neiman Marcus store downtown.  I quickly realized that I couldn't afford anything in the store and got out as fast as I could.


I loved these Sparkly Tom's shoes that are NM-exclusive.  They make the kinda ugly slash kinda cute shoes better and I love sequins.  I could see myself wearing the grey one's in the spring with boyfriend jeans and a t-shirt.



Pretty sparkly mirrors that were hanging from the ceiling by the escalators.  The store was 7 stories tall, I believe.


 A peek inside the NM Bridal Salon.  I was too chicken to go inside.

 Another peek in.  I know a few ladies who would love to go in this place, and it's a good idea I'd never discovered it before my wedding.  Dad would have not been pleased.

After my browsing session, I ate lunch at NM Cafe.  It was OK but call my crazy, I've had better lunches at Nordstrom Cafe.   Then I went back to work.

I was also able to have a nice dinner at Dallas Fish Market with a co-worker.  Very delicious food and drinks.  I ordered the scallops and they were as big as my fist (sorry, no pictures).  I also highly recommend the Pear Thai drink.  All kinds of fuzzy and fizzy delicousness.

Work days away from home in 2011: 4, only to grow with NYC next week.

Snow Days

We are experiencing some crazy weather in Atlanta!  They called for snow on Sunday night starting at 9 PM and at 8:58 the snow started really coming down.  Altogether, we got about 6 inches which has now turned into a 6 inch sheet of ice.  We're officially snowed in and making sure we eat all the junk food in the house!  Stay warm, everyone!
