Mother in Dallas!

I had an amazing time this weekend with mother dearest! Sorry to be so MIA, but we were busy as can be having the most fabulous time! Mother arrived in Dallas Thursday and we went to NorthPark to grab lunch at The Mermaid Bar and shop away. To our surprise Ferragamo had decided to participate so that was exciting. Oh, and Lilly was also in on the fun so of course I pick up the Monopoly game!! It is SOOO cute and I cannot wait to make C play with me- of course we will be decked out in out Lilly! After NP we also hit up Snider Plaza and indulged at The Ivy House. Mother picked up some Herend and also bought me some Blue Canton. I now have a very nice collection. We ended the day with

ON Friday we had to run back to NP to pick up shoes and mother grabbed a sweater at NM. Oh and I also picked up a Kate Spade organizer. Lucky me, I got the last one they had in the store! KS, like Tory, had Friends and Family this weekend so I hope some of you all not in Dallas were able to join in on the discount fun. After our quick trip to NP we headed to Highland Park Village for lunch at Cafe Pacific (one of my favorite Dallas restaurants!). We also had to stop in Porthault as mother is figuring out all the bedrooms in India. I got the most adorable headband with a huge bow to use when washing my face and such. I picked the pink heart pattern as that is one of my favorites. We also went into Madison (another favorite Dallas store) where mother got an adorable, elephant table for India. They still have one left in stock and I am very tempted to pick it up for myself. Friday evening we took it easy. I had told mother all about I Heart Yogurt so later in the evening we just had to stop in. For all of those of you who live in Dallas and have not been you are missing out! Get there asap because I know you will LOVE it! After IHY we watched The Other Boleyn girl in the hotel and called it a night.

Saturday was another busy day filled with Partner's Card purchases. We were back to Snider Plaza and HPV to pick up (and pick out) many items. Then, last night we had a very fun dinner to attend. I forgot to take photos so you will just have to take my word that mother looked lovely and we had the best time.

This morning we had brunch with L and C at the hotel. Yum, I just love Fearings! You do get a ton of food, so you have to limit yourself during the early courses if you want to save room for dessert, but it is wonderful!

After brunch we grabbed a cappuccino and then it was off to DFW to bid farewell to the most perfect mother ever! After I dropped her off I ran home and L and I headed to the Kappa Founder's Day celebration at SMU. It was the first time I had been in the chapter house and it was so lovely and such a treat! We had a nice afternoon and even met another Chi Kappa!

I have had such an amazing weekend and I cannot wait for mother (and father) to return in February!
