Posted by: Lauren Kent on April 16th, 2010

If there’s one thing that competes with the size of your hair in Dallas, it’s the size of your bling.

Thankfully, we have plenty of boutiques and designers who continue to step up to the plate to bring us the boldest, most luxurious jewels and time pieces to weigh down our wrists and lighten our spirits.

Ready, Set, Go!: The Haute 5 Jogging Routes in Dallas

Posted by: Lauren Kent on April 14th, 2010

Wow, am I glad we have evolved from the ‘80s speed-walking craze. Jogging (or “yogging”? It might be a soft “J”) has become quite the customary sport around the neighborhoods of athletic Dallasites. The gear has progressed, from the running shoes to the iPod playlists, to the fact that you are now confident enough to run without the T-shirt (speaking specifically to male “yoggers” here.)

Fore!: The Haute 5 Golf Courses in Dallas

Posted by: Lauren Kent on April 6th, 2010

This week, there will be two types of viewers scrutinizing the Masters: those who have traditionally followed the dignified legacy of the event, and those who don’t give a chip about golf, but who are irresistibly drawn to the scandalous tabloid coverage of the exploits of the sport’s golden child. Either way, Tiger’s return is expected to garner a buzz of Super Bowl proportions, so there’s no better time to whip out that nine iron and hit the green. [...read more]

Northern Exposure: Three Reasons to Go North of HWY 635

Posted by: Lauren Kent on April 6th, 2010

So I was getting my hair done yesterday and, like most stylist/client relationships, we spent the entirety of the session gossiping. While there was talk about love lives and the economic climate, there was one highlight that stuck in my memory. Another client called my guy while I was baking under the heat lamps, and he later mentioned she was his least favorite to work with. “She’s been coming in for 12 years, and every time she says, ‘We just didn’t get it right last time,’” he said. “But she won’t go to anyone else. She never goes north of 635.” Wait what? [...read more]

Posted by: Lauren Kent on March 30th, 2010

The eyes may be the first thing people notice, but the feet are the last. This includes you, Y-chromosomers. They may not be your most appealing feature but feet do count, and now that Spring has sprung it’s definitely time to retire those boot-ready babes because now it is foot-flaunting weather. So before you enjoy that stroll through the Arboretum or commit to that afternoon sandal-shopping at Neiman’s, consider visiting one of the places below for a tootsie tune-up. [...read more]

Breakfast in Bed…Like a Pro: Brunch Recipes from The Grape’s Brian Luscher

Posted by: guest_author on March 29th, 2010

Now that the weather in Dallas is finally warming up (snow in March proves that Hell has in fact frozen over), it’s time to enjoy the sun-splashed patios of our city's culinary hotspots, especially on that particular day and time when the world gets a little quieter and the mimosas flow freely—Sunday brunch. However, after taking a tour around a friend's new sprawling downtown terrace (makes Taverna’s patio look like an outdoor closet), I had to ask myself: Would brunch not be that much sweeter if enjoyed with friends in the comfort of your own home?
