Interested in grabbing a drink after work? Already have a girls’ happy hour planned? Why not shake (or stir) it up and take it over to Plano’s NYLO hotel for Dior-tinis and Christian Dior cosmetics? The hotel is hosting the Dior makeup artist team for a night of makeup tips and sips. You can shop the cosmetic collection and even get some one-on-one time with an artist. To book an appointment with an artist, RSVP to Lindsey Murphy at 972-963-9091. Otherwise, we’ll see you there. Thursday, Oct. 1 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.

Painter turned couture handbag designer, Danielle Davidson had an affinity for clutches but couldn’t find one that was versatile, creative, and travel-friendly at the same time. So, she designed her own. The result – a leopard-print hide clutch adorned with her grandmother’s brooch – got so many compliments that she decided to launch Danielle Teylor handbags in 2008 and has been handcrafting them ever since. The handmade (in Davidson’s living room) collection of clutches will be available at a trunk show today from 11AM-5PM at Betty Reiter in The Plaza at Preston Center. Each bag features different patterns (solid, leopard, zebra, etc), skins (cowhide and embossed leathers), linings (all suede), and hardware (brooches, antique buckles, etc). The Dallas-based designer will even custom-make one if you like and can incorporate family heirlooms or special pieces into the design. They are truly one-of-a-kind! Check back here on Friday for an amazing giveaway that the designer made especially for you, ShopTalkers!
And looks who’s handing out said gift bags! I heart Renee Rouleau indeed.
Here’s what I posted a few weeks ago:
To celebrate Renée Rouleau’s National Skin Care Awareness Month (September), she’s hosting a Front Door Gift Bag Pickup Promo. It’s exactly what it sounds like. Drive up to the spa and receive a gift bag—that simple. But it gets better because, as usual, Reneé Rouleau has her team of male models handing them out right to your car window. Woo hoo! The bag includes a gift certificate and RR samples valued at $100. Go pick up your treats and ogle the models at her Dallas location at 1722 Routh St. or Plano location at 4025 Preston Rd., Ste. 606. September 30 from 10 am to 2 pm.
Today’s the day! Go get yourself a goodie bag!
