V.O.D., Jane Aldridge, and Free Cocktails, Oh My!
We take pride in feeling like we discovered the lovely, talented, and (super) young Jane Aldridge first. Don’t know her? You’re one of the last. It’s okay, though, you can catch up here. Once you have, you’ll know that you can’t wait to see her and her mom at V.O.D. today. Rachel reports:
Take a detour on your way home from work today and stop by V.O.D. in Victory Park. You won’t want to miss this trunk show given by Atlantis Home and Sea of Shoes (yes, as in Jane Aldridge). Grab a free cocktail and peruse through their collection of ’70s and ’80s bold statement jewelry and belts. (Like the pieces pictured left.) They will be there from 6 pm to 9 pm, so stop by anytime!
And read about the new jacket fashioned by the fashionable duo here.
Save the Date: Slocum Street Style
Time to mark your calendars–in pen, if you please–for Slocum Street Style on October 8 from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. What’s Slocum Street Style, you ask? Well, it’s this super fun event–presented by the good people at D Home and Slocum Street Antiques and Design Association–where you have the opportunity to pop into more than 30 showrooms and galleries on Slocum Street. You can snack on fabulous hors d’oeuvres from Savor Dallas participating restaurants (like Go Fish, Hibashi Teppan Grill, Paciugo Gelato, and more) and drink adult drinks while you shop! You will also be powerless to resist the holiday spirit when you check out a number of gorgeous wreaths created by local designers. Best of all: proceeds from the event benefit Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA). See you there.
Loyd – Paxton’s Royal Throne
Hey I’m back with the good stuff. Well, it’s not blue eyeshadow or purple lipstick, but I bet this chair got your attention. We here at DHome love us some chairs. We might even be obsessed – the September issue is full of all the things that chairs can be – flowers, birds, and bouquets because it is so last century to just think of chairs as a place to sit. Not that you would sit on this – unless you were the Last Emperor in China in the Qing Dynasty, 19th century. This is all that remains of a room completely panelled in cloisonne. And count on our local antique royalty, Loyd and Paxton to have possession of such a treasure. Ha, and we thought that we here in Dallas wrote the book on conspicuous consumption and over the top furnishings.
