STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Blubirdie- Its all from Bed Bath and Beyond.  I think Farrah or Vanessa also has that same stuff. 

I'm in the Heights area.  Right off of Studemont/Montrose just north of allen pkwy.  Any recs for food other than mexican? That's all I seem to find here.

Oo, you should def. eat at Collinas Italian Cafe. It's sooo good! I usually go to the one on  W. 19th st. oh my gosh, I got soo hungry thinking about their food! I need to go like very soon!

here's the site COLLINAS

There's also a ton of great Asian food in certain parts of Houston, inside the loop, so you should check those out too. (Again citysearch can help with that.) HTHs!!

My FH can also recommend some good places - He said that if you need to go cheap, do Mexican.  If you want to splurge, there are a couple of awesome sushi places around too!  I'll ask him what his favorite places were and get back to you .

Yay!

I LOVED living on my own.  You can do whatever the hell you want!

I like your bathroom!

You will be fine!  Having just moved to a new city myself, I know how frustrating it can be.  I am always going to Mapquest to find out where to get somewhere.  Luckily, me BF moved in a couple months later, and I had a STer to hang out (!) so I wasn't too lonely, but it was still an adjustment being in a city w/o my family, friends, and BF, whom I saw daily. 

Your apartment is very cute--I wish I had the energy to put up all my decorations, but I need all new stuff anyway.  I love your desk area and bathroom. 

Good luck in your new city!

Blubirdie- I have been dying to try Panera for months.  There is one in Destin that I didn't get to go to.  It sounds so good.  I might have to try it this weekend when i'm entertaning a friend. I found the Central Market you talk about but have yet to check it out.  They just opened a really nice Kroger down the street and I found Whipped PB there! It made my day.

Esquiress- I don't think I'd be where I'm at today without your help! Thanks so much.  I actually am feeling grown up right now.  My mom came yesterday to bring me some stuff and when she left this morning I was sad but didn't cry. 

Claudia - The italian restaurant sounds really great.  Maybe we could do a stylethread dinner there in Sept?? Anyone up for it?

Dot-  I'm doing pretty good with finding the shopping spots and side streets from my apartment to them so I don't have to go long ways by getting on the loop or 1-10 for the most part. 

Sage-  anytime you are in the area call me up and you can come over and watch tv with the bunny ears.  I do pretty well with everything except NBC which is my favorite.  I guess that's how it goes though.

JacL- Mapquest is usually my friend but my DSL doesn't start until tomorrow so I've actually been having to just get out and drive around and make guesses.  I've actually found some cool places this way.

I just found 2 cute pics at MegaMarshalls yesterday so I'll post them in the weekend shopping thread tomorrow.  My mom sprung for them because they were so cute and went with my colorful theme.

Its weird to sit at home alone all the time but kinda fun.  I'm sure I'll be missing it though when work starts up next week.

 

i'm so excited for you! living alone can be scary and it takes time to adjust, but you'll love it.

your apt. looks great !  must be very exciting. 

one of my exes lives in houston..  if you bump into him tell him to grow up. 

ShanKel - that dress is one of those french message boards.  Its either target or bed bath and beyond.  A friend of mine gave it to me and I saw it recently at one of those 2 places.
