Mandola’s Italian Market, May 25, 2010 (from L to R): Cathy, Katie, Indiana, me, Sydney then Tran and Grechen up front.
Photos of me shopping at SoLa plus the group shot courtesy of Grechen's newest blog NewToATX.
I had fun eating Gnocchi and then peanut butter + dark chocolate gelato today while chatting with the loveliest Austin fashion bloggers at Mandola's Italian Market. The selection of pasta, pizza, pastries and gelato was pretty decent.There I took pics of everyone's food including my gnocchi pre-red pepper shaker attack. FACT: I like it spicy. I didn't wear anything you haven't seen on the blog; just the dress from HERE and HERE. It's nice to learn from the gals that's been blogging much longer than I have and also get updated on the latest local fashion news. I took some photos of Sydney's ring (from local jewelry designer Kendra Scott) and her statement necklace. After lunch/dessert we (Grechen, Indiana, Tran and I) went to SoLa next door for some really awesome jewelry selections and fun floral frocks. There I took some photos of SoLa's chic interior and their AMAZING jewelry while Indiana contemplated on a cute addition to her impressive animal jewelry collection. What I really loved was all the awesome methods of displaying jewelry. HUGE THANKS to Grechen for organizing!
