gift guide: one stop shop & dallas event

November 26, 2014

Holiday shopping can be extremely stressful. It’s not just trying to find that perfect gift, but getting around to every store, and dealing with crowds & traffic can be very frustrating. So, we find ourselves gravitating towards stores that can provide it all: women’s clothing, men’s clothing, kid’s clothing, great shoes & accessories, and the brands we love. Lucky for us St. Bernard Sports is close by and has a great website, so we can shop in store or online without ever having to deal with the craziness of mall parking!

And, we have a fun event planned next week. Join us, along with Ashley Aspinwall of Side Smile Style, at St. Bernard’s Sports Dallas on December 2 from 6-8 p.m. as we celebrate at Dallas Tidbits’ “Winter Ski Chalet” party. Come enjoy hot toddies & have your fashion sketch made while you shop for your favorite winter wardrobe necessities & gift giving. Bring a coat for St. Bernard Sports annual coat drive supporting Keep Dallas Warm, and receive $20 off your $100 or more same day purchase. You will also be entered for a chance to win a GoPr0. Shopping & doing good – what a perfect combination. We can’t wait to see you there!

silk track pants

November 25, 2014

Comfort is key these next few weeks, and we all know pajamas aren’t acceptable every day during the holidays! We think we’ve found the next best thing: silk track pants. We first wore a pair of these earlier this year (see here), and to be honest, we’re not really sure why we’ve waited so long to wear them again! The floral pattern is unexpected for fall, but paired with a cashmere sweater it gives such a cozy, chic look– perfect for this time of the year!

Styling tip: Opt for a fitted sweater or top to balance the looser fitting pants.

#sipthroughtheseason

November 24, 2014

Eat, drink and be merry! That is the motto for the Holiday season, isn’t it? We did just that with Manuscript Cellars at their Holiday kickoff event, “#sipthroughtheseason”. The event was held at Meddlesome Moth and we were treated to a delicious food & wine paring designed by the chef. Our favorite pairing was the Limited Edition Sauvignon Blanc paired with the chef’s hummus and assorted crudités. Our husbands thought the Pomegranate Molasses Glazed New York Strip was a beautiful match with the Limited Edition Cabernet Sauvignon, which is always available on the Meddlesome Moth wine list — be sure to try a glass next time you’re there! The chef also paired the Limited Edition Chardonnay with the Meddlesome Moth Balls (see recipe here) & the Pinot Noir with lamb skewers which we also enjoyed. Wine, food & friends – it was a great way to kick off the party season!

The chef was gracious to share her recipes with us, so we’ll share our favorite with you!

Meddlesome Moth Hummus

2 – 12 oz. cans chickpeas
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons tahini
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
water as needed

Drain the chickpeas and rinse. Combine all ingredients, except salt, in a food processor or blender and mix until pureed. Add salt to taste. If the hummus is dry, add water until you have the desired consistency.

Cheers,
