1. The weather in Austin has changed. Woop. A bit of that chilly cold front came in. I am loving it. Spent my Sunday at Hotel San Jose, one of my favorite hotels in town.  I am so into the butterfly chairs too.

2. It's hard to tell in the photo but the chill in the air from leaving the door open on my balcony felt so good. I love that fresh air feeling at home.

Austin Style: LaV restaurant

 

I swear not a day goes by the Austin doesn't get cooler and cooler. I am falling more in love with this town every single day. Last night I met up with a girlfriend for dinner to talk some business, she wanted to show me her favorite spot that she knew I would love. Not only because of the food and wine but because of how chic the decor is. She was absolutely right. LaV, a French restaurant & wine bar, has knocked it out of the park with the ambiance.

How gorgeous is this banquet? I've always been a sucker for tufted so naturally I love this cozy little corner. I'm not much for French food but I will tell you, everything I tasted was just so delicious. I even enjoyed the octopus, so not normal for me. The night was so enjoyable because the ambiance was so elegant but not overly stuffy, it really was like that fabulous dinner party at someone very chic's home. Loved. it. all.
