I am not going to lie. The heat really stinks during the summer. (I had always spent my summers with grandparents in RI, until I had to "grow up") But you go from your a/c house, to your a/c car, to your a/c office, to your a/c mall. Unless you want to hang out in the heat, it is just a matter of getting to the next spot really quickly.
Neiman's rocks, Nordstroms is great! We have the most awesome shopping malls. There is basicly everything you need here in town.
And it takes all kinds. I basicly don't even wear make-up in the summers, but my sister won't leave the house without. We hang out with all the same people and nobody notices. So being a barbie doll is not a pre-requisite here in texas. It is just one of the many looks sported around town.
If you need any specific info, just ask!!
