Reflections: Fashion's Night Out Dallas

Another FNO has come and gone and I had a great time!  I first had to get over the fact that Barneys in Dallas wasn't celebrating - at all!  I went in there 3 different times - OK 4 times. (I must have been waiting for a party to materialize out of thin air! Ha!)


I had a blast with the crew in Elie Tahari - they were so nice and they had a live model who was very cute!


The DJ at Neiman Marcus was amazing!  I forced myself to leave while singing along to Dancing Queen.  No one wanted to leave the store because every song she spun was cooler than the next


Apparently, the place to be was Highland Park Village!  I had to park 5 blocks away and just pray my car was still there when I got back! Thankfully it was!  They had tents set up reminiscent of Bryant Park (*insert nostalgic sigh*) and had 2 fashion shows in addition to all of the cool things the individual stores had going.


I read somewhere that the Dallas Galleria was not to be outdone!  In addition to all of the awesome store specials, they had a runway the entire length of the mall.  I didn't make it out there but I was certainly tempted to see and give high fives to the models that walked a runway that long!


I am happily wiped out, full of way too much champagne and way too many little sweets and ready to stream runway shows! Happy Fashion Week! :)

Fashion's Night Out 2011

It's the eve of Fashion's Night Out 2011 and I'm so excited! It kind of reminds me of a Halloween for Fashionistas! Shopping, music, drinks, fun!

I think I'll start "trick or treating" at Barney's and Neiman Marcus and then over to some of the specialty shops! Who knows?  Maybe the nail bar at Chanel, or the stimulation of all 5 senses at DVF, or champagne and scarf tying at Hermes - so many great, fun options!

What a great start to Fashion Week - this was such an amazing idea!  How will you be celebrating tomorrow?

2011 MTV Video Music Awards

I love music probably more than fashion. Correction: I love good music more than fashion! That being said, I'm always willing to cut musicians and other recording artists lots of slack when it comes to the choices they make regarding their attire.  For example, when everyone tried to slam Lady Gaga's Armani gown at the 2010 Grammy's, I immediately liked it and now I actually love it!  I call it artistic license!

Last night at the VMAs, however, I was just disappointed at the choices that were made for this red carpet.  I twittered that it's pretty sad that I was shocked when people actually looked cute as I clicked through photos!  I did manage to find on look that I really liked, and that was Demi Lovato in a beautiful and sexy piece by Mandalay and Louboutin heels.  Very nice, Demi!

Ready for Fall!

Even though we're still baking like cupcakes in Texas, it's time for fashion enthusiasts to start looking at fall trends! Maybe paying attention to fall fashions will help to break this oppressive heat wave!

H&M has finally come to Dallas! I am trying to wait to go see our new favorite store but this cute little dress keeps calling me from billboards around town to come try it!

I'm really liking the retro, ladylike silhouettes that are appearing circa 1960s with a modern twist.

Shoes are coming out with a chunkier heel - I'm sure our ankles will be thanking us for that! It looks as though the fall will be ushering in a trend of footwear that is comfortable as well as stylish like the Alexander Wang "Anias" shoe below:
