The Original Mexican Restaurant |
I took a trip with one of my gal pals to the OTHER Texas city. You know--Fort Worth or "The Fort" as some like to call it. I have to tell you jewels and gems, this is a bad ass place. It's my idea of a "lifestyle" city. It's clean, the buildings sit old and beautifully intricate and oh yeah, its landscape has a few belly rolls (who knew?!).
So here are a few highlights from the impromptu journey. (Thank you, Design Sponge for sharing "The Fort" City Guide...it was put to good use!).
Leddy's boots...Yeehaw! |
Kimbell Art Museum-Entry for this museum's permanent collection is free of charge. Peruse through both their artifacts and paintings.
The Original-They're known for their enchiladas...need I say more? Also feel free to grab a jar of their homemade salsa.
Beehive-Originating in Austin, this fashion boutique is fun and fancy free. Shop jewelry and accessories in the front and clothing in the back.
Maven-I stumbled upon this little gem cruising down Camp Bowie Boulevard. Reminiscent of Anthropologie, this fashion and home decor haven sells all sorts of goodies. Sift through racks of colorful clothing, jewelry and even homemade gift cards.
Leddy's-Stepping into this western wear store shifts you into 100% pure Texan mode. Located in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards, they sell traditional cowboy boots in all shapes and sizes. (Expect a few hat tips and a "how ya'll doin' " during your stay.)
