christmas in dallas

I love Dallas during the holidays! Every restaurant and store is decorated so cute. Here are some of my favorite things I saw this weekend.

Starry String Lights from Restoration Hardware.

Christmas cookies at La Duni.

My absolute favorite holiday window at Free People.

The best Caprese salad at Girmaldi's.

Neiman Marcus flagship store across the street from my apartment.

Merry Christmas!

i'm weird about my birthday

Most people love their birthday and make big plans, I on the other hand kind of hate mine. Most of the time when something involves me getting a present I love it, but not my birthday. This year I decided to spend the day doing my 3 favorite things: shopping, eating out, and watching movies.

We started the day having breakfast at Breadwinners. It's a restaurant in Uptown with really good food and a really cute atmosphere.

We ended up spending the majority of the day at our 2 favorite hangouts, Highland Park Village and Northpark Mall. I don't know if people realize how great Dallas shopping has become in the last few years. Most people don't think of Dallas as a shopping destination, but so many great stores have opened since I moved here. See a list of stores and restaurants at Highland Park Village & Northpark Center

We ended the night having dinner at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, Mi Cocina , and seeing Alice in Wonderland.

It wasn't the typical birthday, but it definitely ended up being my favorite. I'm not even dreading next years.
