LIVING WRIGHT
As I confessed in my Tuesday column, I'm a clumsy hooker.
But I'm also nosy, as I want to hear about YOUR most embarrassing ...
Aside from enjoying humorous ones spied on others' automobiles, I'm not a fan of bumper stickers.
I blame my father, ...
During last week's bad weather, when a tornado siren sounded around midnight, I was caught at a midtown QuikTrip.
As ...
IKEA of Utica Square ... Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
Or maybe Urban Outfitters of Brookside, yeah? Sigh ...
... has been circulating like bad gossip ever since I moved here and, I'm assuming, before.
The first time I heard it, Nordstrom -- that fabulous purveyor of fashion that started out as a Seattle shoe store in 1901 and now figures into the fashion fantasies of half the women I know -- was allegedly moving into a south Tulsa shopping center. Every two or three years, someone will sidle up to me and ask, "Did you hear that rumor about Nordstrom?" -- or, how it's usually called, "Nordstrom's." Because it's possessive, apparently.
Anyhoo, no, it's not coming to Tulsa. Or to Oklahoma City, from what I've been told. But there's always hope, right? I mean, many of us pined for a Sephora and Anthropologie before both came here. Perhaps we just need to pine harder.
In the mean time, here's my retailer wish list (in no particular order unless I did so subconsciously):
Z Gallerie
(I pay tribute to the one in Dallas annually, even if I'm merely passing through town.)H&M
(I can't afford the real designer stuff, so might as well take advantage of this Swedish retail giant's more affordable knock-offs.)IKEA
(Went to my first one last fall in Austin, fell in love -- and found, like, six different can't-live-without-things for less than $13 total.)Crate & Barrel
(Duh.)Urban Outfitters
(Because I'm a T-shirt whore.) Smoke Restaurant in Dallas
(No, it's not a retailer, but they serve THE best bacon on the planet, plus awesome infused spirits and a collards-filled omelet that'll make you wanna slap someone else's mama.)OK, so what's on YOUR wish list of places?
Peace, love and collards ... XOXO
