In Case You Missed It ...

Some fun pics from LF's grand opening, yay! Stop by the store in West Village asap; love it, espesh the vintage pieces and denim. And while much of it isn't under $100, there are some fab pieces that have WISH-worthy price tags. I promise :)
We met lots of new people, but our favorites were DJ Blake Ward, whose taste in music we covet, and Jaffrene Islam, who has a new blog we adore called Street Style Dallas. Check it.

AMAZE New Store: Milk & Honey

New boutique Milk & Honey just opened on Henderson Avenue in Dallas, and it's definitely my current obsession. Owner Brittany Thomas has an amazing eye, and nearly everything in her shop is priced under $100. It's like the retail version of WISH, yay! Check out Lisa Petty's article about Milk & Honey on DFW Style Daily, and go immediately. I mean it.

WISH Is Ready to Party ...



I'm co-hosting some super fun events this week, and you're invited, yay! On Thursday evening, Krystal Schlegel and I are helping The Shak at Stanley Korshak celebrate five amazing years; Modern Luxury will be there too, as will the mag's Fresh Faces of Fashion and models from Campbell-Wagner Runway.

As for Friday, I'll be representing DFW Style Daily, while Danielle co-hosts with a few stylish SMU friends and bloggers during the opening bash for LF in Dallas' West Village. She'll have Carson Eisenhart of Dallas Stylistas and For the Love of Louboutin and fabulous PaperCity intern Alexandra Sisto with her, so come seeeeee us!

Frocks from Across the Pond!

Soooo, I have an absurd number of fashion thingies to attend in the next few weeks, and naturally, I currently hate every party dress I own. To that end, I did some "research" on some items I could maybe tolerate wearing to the aforementioned events via some of my beloved Euro retailers.

Behold, the four frocks I didn't despise, and I mean that literally. Yes, I love some of these, but really, I'm just not that into most of the dress options I've spotted this Fall??? Thus, these are the picks that didn't make me cringe, but that's not to say I'm obsessed with any of them to the degree I typically am when it comes to shopping finds this time of year. It IS, after all, my fav season :)
