H.D.’s Clothing Company “Share with Flair” Event

Raya Ramsey — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:07:21 +0000

This weekend, if you shop yourself silly at H.D.’s clothing Company, you’ll not only be contributing to non-profit group Dwell With Dignity, you’ll also get a gift if you spend more than $250. The real gift, though, is that 15 percent of the day’s sales will go to Dwell with Dignity, who creates homes for families in need. Think of it as Extreme Makeover in the real world. Shop H.D. for women’s and men’s European lines and local jewelry designs on Friday and Saturday, March 19 and March 20, from 11 am to 6 pm.

Catch the Cynthia Rowley Collection on Wheels

Rachel Fresquez — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:28:09 +0000

We usually stick to deals and steals, but we couldn’t not let you know about an on-the-go designer shopping experience to be had. Check out this shipping truck converted into a chic mobile boutique by designer Cynthia Rowley. Wood floors and printed fabrics walls (there’s even a fitting room!) house her entire collection. We’re talking clothing, shoes, bags, eyewear, jewelry, etc. There’s no dressing and driving–this baby stays put while you browse. Lucky for us, the next major stop on the cross-country truck tour is Highland Park Village in Dallas starting on Thursday, March 25 and lasting through Monday, April 5. Can’t make it out to the truck? Call or email the Shop on Wheels, and a Cynthia Rowley stylist will literally come to you and do a private fitting at your home or office. 917-428-4430 or mobilefashionunit@cynthiarowley.com.

Look What We Found: Ashard Richley Ruffle Bag for $78

Raya Ramsey — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:01:10 +0000

While shopping at Accents the other night, we stumbled across this beautiful Ashard Richley nude ruffle bag left. (And it probably did look like stumbling because we just came out of a spin class.) We love nude, and we love ruffles, but we also love that this bag looks it could belong on Valentino’s spring 2010 catwalk above. It also looks like Eva Longoria’s beloved Be & D bag from last spring—see it after the jump. Mostly, we love that it’s $78 and can only be purchased at Accents.

The Dallas Flea Takes Place on Saturday

Raya Ramsey — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:31:59 +0000

There isn’t much better than a flea market. Awesome, original, locally made things for lower-than-usual prices? That’s a winning combination. (D Home even voted it Best New Event.) I can think of only one thing that would make a flea better: champagne. One day maybe. For now, we’ll live without it and head to South Side on Lamar this Saturday. But for those of you who didn’t attend the last flea market in December, this isn’t your average, dirty, good-luck-digging-in-the-bins kind of flea market. This is curated and edited by local fashion writer Brittany Edwards and features local designers, foods, jewelry, candles, artwork, etc. You’ll find pieces from Abi Ferrin, Hip & Hippie, Jarma, The House of MacGregor, Candy Corn’s, etc. Plus, credit cards are accepted. Five bucks gets you in the door. South Side on Lamar. 1409 S. Lamar St. http://www.thedallasflea.com/. 9 am to 4 pm.

V.O.D., Jane Aldridge, and Free Cocktails, Oh My!

Raya Ramsey — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:22:10 +0000

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.

Elaine Turner Spring 2010 & Janna Conner Jewelry Event to Benefit Paws Cause

Stephanie Quadri — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:31:46 +0000

Right about now I am wishing I was beachside…but I’ll settle for freezing temps in New York to cover fashion week I suppose. If you are going to be here in Dallas this Thursday, be sure to stop by Elaine Turner at NorthPark Center from 6-8 PM to escape the chill (at least mentally) and view the Texas designer’s latest handbags and accessories for spring 2010 (we love the Morocan Moon and Zanzibar collection) as well as new jewelry by Janna Conner (fans include Diane Kruger, Madonna, & Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen), which starts at just $45.

Exhale Spa + Dress for Success = Really Fun Discounted Spa Night

Raya Ramsey — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 22:29:27 +0000

When the economy sucks, non-profit groups really suffer as you can imagine. Fortunately, we live in a place where groups band together to help each other out. (Well, at least, sometimes.) So thank you, Exhale Spa, for using your spa treatments to raise funds for the very deserving Dress for Success group (who dresses disadvantaged women, so they can get jobs). In this effort’s honor, Exhale Spa at the Hotel Palomar is offering a fun event, Relax. Unwind. Exhale., where guests can choose a massage, facial, mani, pedi, or all the above, and proceeds from the purchases will be donated to Dress for Success. Not a do-gooder? We’re not judging, but here’s the upside for YOU: all therapies are discounted. Plus, free wine and hors d’oevres will be served. Says Dress for Success’ executive director: “These are all treatments that most of us pay for on a regular basis. Why not get them during a night of fun at a fabulous facility, with the added bonus of supporting women that need our help?” Couldn’t say it better myself. To participate, reserve your treatment NOW at www.dfsdallas.org. Thursday, February 18 from 5 pm to 9 pm. Photo stolen from Exhale Spa website

Ps. The first 50 people get swag bags at the door.

Christine Sracic — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 21:56:57 +0000

The chic boutique is hosting a post-holiday/New Year sale, offering up to 50% off everything from hot bangles to cute little clutches. I personally love the bangle idea… 50% off basically means you get two for the price of one, and let’s be honest: bangles are made for stacking. Visit Henri Bendel at NorthPark before the sale ends January 11.
