But then again, that wouldn’t really be Addison’s style.

Let’s face it: jeans are iconic. They have a place in a barrage of popular songs, from Elton John’s Tiny Dancer to T-Pain’s instant classic that made Apple Bottoms jeans a household name. They come in flared or skinny or boyfriend styles, so you can bet whatever mood you’re in or shoes you want to wear, there’s a blue jean option. So it should come as no surprise that Dallas, which may have invented the denim jean (at least the denim jacket and jean combo), has a slew of high end jean stores to suit your fancy.

Maybe it was the meeting that ran late, or perhaps it was that last Jagerbomb, but it’s midnight and man, are you hungry. What are your options?

Whether you like it warm or chilled, fruity or bitter, with a glass of Asahi (sake bomb!) or on its own, sake is rarely a bad idea when devouring Asian fare. In fact, connoisseurs of the stuff canramble on like a Napa Valley wine enthusiast, and there’s no wonder why: the rice liqueur has many flavors, tpyes and brewers, perfect for those with a picky palate.

You know how you like to live when you’re away from home. Five stars, 80-minute massages and 1500 thread count sheets–only the finest hotels can lure you away from your abode.
