Weekend Finds & a Dallas Visit

Besides having one of my best friends in town visiting over the weekend and indulging in a lot of Dallas tourist activities--read: Texas BBQ, The Sixth Street (JFK) Museum, nights out on the town, and eating our way through every Tex Mex restaurant in town--her shopping karma (she is the best bargain shopper around) must have rubbed off on me.

My Dallas tour is not complete without a stop at Wisteria.  To my utter dismay the deeply discounted suzani pillow I had eyed a few days before and had hoped to purchase was gone, but an internet search led me to find it online.  It is my first purchase for our future guest bedroom in hopes of taking it from beachy Southern California to global sophisticated all with one pillow and a few other choice accessories.

The pillow will be replaced with this one: 

After a stop at Hard Eight BBQ (my first foray into experiencing Texas BBQ as well), we headed to Neiman Marcus Last Call nearby.  Everything in the store was buy one get 50% off the second item and after some creative purchasing with a friend I ended up with a pair of Cynthia Vincent wedges for a steal:

Hopefully, she doesn't think Dallas is all that bad and will come back soon for more than just the shopping!
