Fashion Sticky Notes … actual hideous things I see people wearing, and how to remedy the problems they present

+Yoga pants that look like yoga pants tucked into riding boots pretending to be pants. IF THEY LOOK LIKE YOGA PANTS, you're not fooling anyone. Dead giveaways: piping across the butt, down the leg, logos, and colored waistbands if exposed. Do everyone a favor and just find plain, thick yoga pants to pretend are pants. (AND I do this, so I'm not complaining about the trend itself, just the execution)

+Shorts at night. I've been over how I personally feel this is inappropriate at all times, but now it's fall and you have absolutely no excuse for wearing shorts at night.

+Skinny belts slapped onto a dress—or worse, a shirt—because a magazine told you so. Really? Do you wear crazy makeup looks straight off the runway too? Make sure the belt adds something to your outfit AND your figure. If your waist isn't your skinniest feature, why would you highlight it???
Things I like … and you should too, because I knew about jellies shoes way before they were cool

*navy + orange
*southwestern-style accents in scarves or socks
*leggings + tall socks + boots
*short-sleeve hoodies or coats (only in fall can you get away with this)
*funky french manis like glitter or neons
*neon accents
*boxy bags
*cord, rope, or otherwise raw material bracelets

So hot: Taste the entire Carillon for $30!

Chef Josh Watkins is a little bit of a local legend, a young phenom who took over the storied Driskill Grill in 2007, only to leave in 2008 for the AT&T Executive Education & Conference Center. There he heads up 4 restaurants and 50 staff members, but the Carillon is the flagship.

Tomorrow, Dec 16, through Saturday, Dec 19, you can enjoy a HUGE tasting menu of his faves for just $30. I mean, read the thing: hamachi, scallops, pork belly? Mero, NY strip? Parsnips? Goat cheese cheesecake? Sounds freakin’ amazing to me. I’ve never eaten there, but I suggest you get thee to the Carillon fast. And report back, please.

when we went on saturday, they said the tasting menu was $60 but the 3 course was $30. 3 course was still good but was slightly dissappointed.

Hey ps, wanna know the secret? You may get to taste more for $60, but the portions are much smaller … you get the same amount of food with the 3-course as you would with the 6. Bring friends and share and you get a much better value!
