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!

Meeting the designers behind the brands is one of my favorite parts of being a blogger, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to meet
Trina Turk at
Highland Park Village in Dallas last night. Considering we have been wearing
Trina Turk clothing for as long as I can remember, it was such an honor to personally speak with the designer herself!
Trina Turk is a California native, which heavily inspires her collections filled with colorful and contemporary prints. From
clothing and
jewelry to
home goods and
bedding, the designer has become one of the most admirable and well-known designers of today! I had a peek at some of the newest pieces in her collection, as well as her
new handbags, and let’s just say I had a hard time leaving empty-handed. Take a look at some of the photos from the event and be sure to shop my favorite pieces below!
With Rachel Michell and Haley Schultheis

This past Thursday, my sisters and I had the pleasure of attending the Brunello Cucinelli grand opening party in his new Highland Park Village location. Brunello Cucinelli started his company in Italy in 1978, and continues to serve as Creative Director and Chairman for his line which specializes in luxury goods for men and women. We had so much fun at the event listening to (the charming) Brunello speak about the history of the company, his inspiration, and how his passions have created this beautiful line of apparel. We fell in love with his newest collections and were inspired to add more neutral tones into our wardrobe for Spring. Take a peek at some of the pictures from the event and be sure check out Brunello Cucinelli’s newest collections below:

When it comes to closet staples for Fall, a solid pair of comfy flats are key. I just picked up a pair of these navy and orange Hadleigh’s smoking slippers from Bergdorfs to give my favorite Revas a break for my recent trip to Destin. These shoes not only feel like I’m walking on clouds, but they are absolutely adorable as well! The smoking slipper is a classic, preppy shoe that has been around for ages, but Hadleigh’s has reinvented the slipper with their array of fun colors and textures to add a little pop to your shoe collection.
Though Hadleigh’s slippers are carried at retailers around the nation, such as Neimans and Bergdorfs, the company actually began in Dallas in 2009. Ed and Gable Shaikh took their knowledge of the fashion world they gained from working with Ralph Lauren, Stanley Korshak, as well as other large names in fashion, to start their own line four years ago. Named after their oldest daughter, Hadleigh’s has quickly gained fame for their quality products. What differentiates Hadleigh’s Bespoke from other luxury retailers is their focus on individually, customized tailored clothing. So whether you are looking for a classic pair of slippers or a full new wardrobe, Hadleigh’s has you covered. If you are ever in the Dallas area, be sure to stop by their flagship store in Highland Park Village – you will not be disappointed.

Fashion has always been a passion of mine, which is why I spent years working and interning within the fashion industry. During this time, I was fortunate enough to work for Dallas native, Lela Rose. If you haven’t heard of Lela Rose, she is one designer you definitely want to get to know. Not only are her pieces one of a kind and attentive to detail, but they are all manufactured within the United States.
Lela Rose began her career in art after studying painting and sculpture at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Lela spent her spare time designing vests she created from vintage scarves, which inspired her to enroll in the Parsons School of Design in New York City. In 1996, Lela launched her first collection of women’s clothes from her apartment. Though Lela worked mainly with private clients, her line gained fame in 2001 when she dressed Jenna and Barbara Bush for their father’s inauguration.
Each of Lela Rose’s ready-to-wear collections is inspired by a particular artist, which is shown through the patterns and detail of each dress. Lela’s designs are dedicated to the feminine silhouette, and by using precise tailoring on architectural lines, these dresses are made to accentuate a woman’s figure regardless of size.
Lela Rose is headquartered in New York City, and her one and only boutique (flagship) is in Highland Park Village in Dallas, TX. If you aren’t living in Dallas, no worries, her collection is carried at Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and other luxury retailers. What I respect most about Lela Rose is despite how well-known her line has become, she still remains hands on in every aspect of her company. In fact, I received a personal email from her welcoming me to the company on my first day. It’s little details like this which makes me fall head over heels for a company.
Calling all brides! Not only is she an amazing ready-to-wear designer, but her bridal line is to die for! The beading on her gowns is absolutely breath-taking and sure gives Vera Wang a run for her money. She has also collaborated with Dessy to create an affordable line of bridesmaid dresses.
