EVENT RECAP: Giuseppe Zanotti + Vogue Opening Party

by The Perennial Style | Mar 19, 2015 | Events, Style

Opening up our inbox and seeing an email from the one and only Vogue Magazine felt like a dream come true, so we were more than excited to RSVP to last night’s Giuseppe Zanotti Opening Party with Vogue in Highland Park Village. Though we always love a fashionable fete, sipping cocktails while admiring Zanotti’s fabulous Italian-made stilettos just really was the ultimate vibe. DJ Lucy Wrubel kept the mood high while guests enjoyed bites by Lombardi Family Catering. From shoes to handbags to accessories and more, this is one new spot you must visit – guys too! Check out some our pictures from last night’s event below and click here to shop the designer’s amazing collection for yourself!

EVENT RECAP: Aftershock Grand Launch

by The Perennial Style | Feb 2, 2015 | Events, Style

This past week I attended the Aftershock Grand Launch event and exclusive media preview hosted by The Fashionistas in Dallas. Though I originally discovered Aftershock at the Simply Stylist conference when they were located in Preston Plaza, the brand has since moved to their new location at the Galleria and hosted quite the fete to celebrate. Models showcased looks from Aftershock’s newest collection, while guests sipped on cocktails from MiniBar and received beauty touchups from Blownaway App – which was definitely one of my highlights, because there’s nothing I love more than a good blowout!

If you are unfamiliar with Aftershock, it is a European brand with over 150 stores worldwide – though the Dallas location is the only store in the United States. With their focus on “affordable luxury”, Aftershock strives to attract the attention of all ages. As featured in Cosmo, Elle, and Vogue, among others, this is one brand I recommend you check out – especially next time you need an evening gown! Take a look at some of my pictures from the event and shop a few of my favorite pieces below!

EVENT RECAP: Baubles & Blouses

by The Perennial Style | Jul 22, 2014 | Events, Style, Uncategorized

Last week we attended the Baubles & Blouses event at the Prashe Showroom in the design district to celebrate fashion, jewelry, and design. Designer Shona Gilbert debuted her newest collections, Shambhala and BollyRocks, from her line SHONA. The colorful pieces were inspired by Prashe Shah’s colorful collections, as well as from her extensive traveling experiences.

As we sipped champagne and mingled through the showroom, we had so much fun trying on the beautiful, vibrant jewelry pieces! Blair left with a pair of gorgeous gold statement earrings that were just to DIE for, and I had a hard time leaving without one of the elaborate hand chains. Apart from learning about the jewelry collections and the clothing sample sale, we also enjoyed exploring the event space. From the hundreds of beautiful flowers to the fabric draped ceilings and elaborate table settings, we were in awe of the elegant showroom!

Take a look at some of our pictures from the event and be sure to visit the SHONA website and the Prashe Showroom website to learn more!

EVENT RECAP: Estee Lauder x Neiman Marcus

Elizabeth Hurley & Leonard Lauder

This past Wednesday, I had an incredible experience at the Estee Lauder event at Neiman Marcus NorthPark to unveil the new Estee Lauder shop within the store. After a successful 64 year partnership, Leonard Lauder graced Dallas with his presence at this unveiling to share a little history of the company and to showcase the Estee Lauder compact museum, which has only been displayed once prior. Leonard was accompanied by company spokeswoman Elizabeth Hurley, who was even sweeter and more beautiful in person than one could imagine! Since Neiman Marcus is Leonard’s favorite department stores by far, he debuted his newest lipstick exclusive to the store – Neiman Marcus Red. Leaving the event with a hand signed gift bag from Mr. Lauder filled with the exclusive lipstick and an engraved compact with my initials was the perfect keepsake from such a special event. To share a bit of Texas with this power duo, Leonard was given a cowboy hat and Elizabeth received a bouquet of yellow roses. Take a look at our pictures from the event and be sure to stop by the newest shop this weekend!

Event Recap: Blaine Bowen Jewelry Launch Party

by The Perennial Style | May 20, 2014 | Events, Style, Uncategorized

If you haven’t heard of Blaine Bowen, this is one Texas jewelry line you need to get to know. Started in January of 2013, Blaine Muhl set out to create a collection that combined her love for fashion, art, and philanthropy, and let’s just say she nailed it! We had so much fun at the Blaine Bowen Launch Party at The Ritz Carlton last week getting to know the designer and seeing an up-close look at her newest collections. Since a portion of the proceeds benefitted Paws in the City, we loved shopping the pieces from evil eye bangles to beaded bracelets and Texas shaped rings! The Coachella-themed fete boasted Vogue sketches, flash tattoos (a favorite of ours!), flower crowns, a braiding station, and more! Take a peek at some of our pictures from the amazing event and click here to shop the collection!
