2013 Style Resolutions

Resolutions aren't my fav thing ever.  I am pretty much against them actually, but I can do just about anything in the name of fashion.  I've seen a couple of different lists floatin' around the bloggin' world and I wanted to make some of my own style resolutions for 2013:

1. Embrace Leather.  Some of you who see me everyday may ask: Is this even possible for you? I do love leather. Leather EVERYTHING.  Sue me. 
2. Get rid of that crap in my closet that I don't want to wear today.  I need to visit consignment shops and make a little dough on last season's remains.
3. Plan Outfits with my calendar. Sometimes I buy a ton of new clothes and wear them all within the week. I need to plan better!
4. BUY MORE JEWELRY.  Statement, costume, designer, I need more and more and more of it.  
5. Fill up my closet with Equipment blouses.  Basically the 9-6 uniform.  They are pricey, but you know so is Veuve. I'll get over it.

Resort is Approaching...

Although it maybe wet and cold down here in Big D, the Resort shopping season is upon us! I can't wait to tuck away all those big cumbersome sweaters and break out all my little flirty dresses.  I am just going to make a short list (I'll keep it down to 3!) of things I am lusting after for Resort.  I am dreaming of going to a beach far far far away- who wants to escort me?

 

Forever 21 Studded Quilted Racer Jacket- $38 - #warmweatherleather #gottahaveit 

Diane Von Furstenberg Tara Sequin Blouson Dress- $698- a splurge- let's wait till it goes on sale!

Stella McCartney The Falabella - $1095- a perfect spring handbag, nothing screams I'm ready for spring quite like a bright yellow! 

Good lord I need a bigger closet!

WOW: Monday Recap!

Oh my gah- there was so much going on last night!

First and foremost- The Bachelor season premiere.  
Second- where my loyalty truly lies- the return of RHOBH.  
Also, I think there was a serious football game going on, but anyone who watched that knows that Sean got more action than the fightin' irish. #SECdomination

Sean is a total babe. I can say it once, I can say it again, and you know what? I can probably say it a few more times.  He's also from Texas (Dallas to be exact) which scores you big points in my book.  And he's in the insurance business (I was an insurance major in college...#random) so we have a lot in common.  Also, he loves Matitos and ate dinner there Saturday night. I ate lunch there Saturday and was apparently just a few hours too early to the party.

This season started off as per usual. The girls are truly crazy this season.  Apparently LA had a mass escape from the psych ward.  My friend, Reality Steve, predicts Catherine to win.  She's definitely not the prettiest, the craziest, the most fashionable, or the most unique in any way, shape or form.  But if Sean loves her, go Catherine (hope you're relationship lasts longer than Emily and Jef's)! If you're into spoilers and behind the scenes info- check out Reality Steve's website.  I can't help but read everything he writes and tweets, because I do love me some Bachelor gossip.  Also, it's kinda fun to watch the season knowing when the train-wrecks about to happen. 

Last night's highlights include the crazy girl in the wedding dress (she can blame one of the producers for her never-ending horrible reputation), the cray cray girl trying to reenact 50 Shades of Grey, a girl so drunk she fell down stairs, and the fact that Sean gave out like 20 first impression roses.  Ummm Sean? I don't know what kinda drugs ABC gives you- but first impressions happen ONCE, not twenty times...

Also- I should mention that Sean Lowe himself tweeted last night, "The smell of spray tan was strong that evening..." Sean, I should let you know that Africa called and could smell their spray tans too.  

After a rather crazy crazy crazy Bachelor premiere I switched gears to RHOBH.  I was confused when my DVR recorded it for 2 hours.  After an hour of not-that-exciting-drama, suddenly Vanderplump Rules just popped on my TV- after a very small introduction. Like they were trying to suck me into watching that DUMB show.  Well, sorry Bravo, I caught on.  I don't give a shiz about some dumb Beverly Hills restaurant called SUR where mediocre people call themselves models and Swedish princesses and work as waiters.  

RHOBH is even loosing my interest.  Look, Brandi is broke and heartbroken.  I can't think of a worse combination.  It was actually very sad to watch her confront one of her husband's mistresses.  Would I have done that via national television? I'm going to go out on a limb and say no.

YOlanda, girl, you just keep livin the good life.  You cook your hubby dinner and make him real happy.  You wear that Hermés belt to clean the horses stables and tell your daughter to be a model instead of play volleyball.  I'll be welding your Mother-of-the-Year Metal shortly. 

At this point Kyle is just trying to stir up un-necessary, un-exciting, stupid drama.  Don't invite Faye to dinner to stir a pot that is already boiling over.  We are bored of Brandi's stupid drama.  Also why is Lisa taking her side and being her BFF? And why does Lisa have THE WORST outfits??? Give up the pants with a button down shirt and a belt look!

Kim was MIA from this episode.  I think she might still be in Vegas celebrating her sons 21st birthday. 

Adrienne and Paul are starting a skincare line? Why would they waste their time? Everyone knows La Mer is the best of the best and there's no such thing as competition.  Maybe this is why they got a divorce?

Now, I think we should talk about something very important.  What happened to Taylor is awful.  I was terribly disappointed when I heard the news of Russell.  It's all much more complicated when you have kids and I feel very very very sad for her.  

However, I do believe she needs a MUCH better lawyer.  I am sorry but now her husband is dead and she has to give up a 10 carat wedding ring and TWO Hermés Birkins.  WHAT THE HECK!?! I mean that just isn't fair. Give the housewife a break.  You can take her man.  You can take the house.  But you cannot take a Birkin.  

Until next time reality TV rats!

Restaurant Review: Javier's Gourmet Mexicano

If you're from Dallas or visited, you've been to the famous Javier's! I have gotten the feeling that it is the Dallas version of Fort Worth's Joe T. Garcia's.  But, it is SO much more.  It isn't tex mex.  No queso served here! But, this place was amazing.  Oh my gosh.  My friend Ashley said I had to try it.  I'd heard mixed reviews, I was skeptical.  But a few girlfriends and I decided to wine and dine around 8 pm last Saturday night.  We needed somewhere fun and close to Uptown, and this place just popped in my mind!

For starters, you should probably make a reservation.  We ended up waiting about an hour and a half but the time passed quickly because they have a couple of bars.  

To drink: order a Mexican Martini.  It sounded weird to me, but holy COW! I couldn't stop with just one or two or three! These things must have had crack in them!!!

For an appetizer I would recommend Cheese Panela.  Basically, melted mozzarella cheese, chorizo, and peppers wrapped up in a flour tortilla.  I could have eaten this ALL NIGHT LONG! 

For your dinner, order the Filete Cantinflas.  Beef tenderloin stuffed with ah-mazing cheese and butter.  Topped off with mulatto sauce.  Served with rice and beans.  I split it and it was the perfect amount of food.  

For dessert, order the flaming drink.  No other explanation needed. 

This place is super fun, we had a small group and still had a blast.  For a bigger group for sure make a reservation.  It is kinda expensive (more than say Mi Cocina or Matitos) but well worth it! Don't expect your typical tex mex.   It is authentic Mexico City food, complete with a cigar bar! 

If you haven't been, try out Javiers!

Winesday Wednesday's Competition Results:

Thanks to everyone who participated in my Winesday Wednesday's Competition a few weeks ago.  I've been drinking a lot of wine recently and have come up with a winner.  A two-way tie because two people suggested...drum roll please...

Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc! 

Thanks to everyone who participated.  I am hoping to have more giveaways in the future.  My blog is young and not perfect, yet.  Don't worry, a facelift is in Little Miss Wade's future! 

Congratulations to Meg Brown and Lauren Schuler! You will be receiving your bottles of wine within the next week or two!!!

Pour another glass of that Cupcake!
