Recently we have had a lot of requests for posts on menswear, so we are so excited to share one of our favorite menswear lines with all of our readers today! Last week we attended Need’s First Anniversary party here in Dallas, and we had such an amazing time celebrating the success of this creative and innovative brand for today’s sophisticated gentleman. Created by one of our friends from SMU, Matt Alexander has fully implemented his British charm and entrepreneurial spirt into his curated men’s retailer and lifestyle magazine, Need.
For the brand’s one year anniversary, Need launched a full re-design, an all-exclusive collection with some of the world’s top brands, and introduced a brand new swath of features for the modern gentleman shopper. By offering a limited amount of products each month, such as clothing, artwork, alcohol, literature, furniture, or coffee, Need simplifies the way of shopping for men and provides only the best quality products for the modern gentleman. From his incredible event with New York Fashion Week’s Men’s Day to his consistently sold-out collections and hundreds of thousands of members, Matt Alexander has proven his knowledge and expertise of quality and refined menswear.

This past weekend, we co-hosted a party with our close friend, Sara Scheible, to showcase one of our favorite dishware companies, Dishique, in Dallas. For four girls who love events and parties, why not host one of our own? Sara was so sweet to host the event at her place in uptown. It was the perfect excuse to have a girl’s day and indulge in sweets, blood orange mimosas, and do a little shopping! In case you aren’t familiar with Dishique, be sure to see our post here for more information about the company. Whether you are looking to stock your house for the perfect dinner party or find a custom gift for your next wedding shower, Dishique has you covered. Take a look at some of the pictures from the event and check out their website to see how you too can host an event!

No party is complete without mimosas! We chose a Blood Orange juice to spice up our favorite morning cocktail.
The Dothan, AL plate is our favorite of course, since it represents our hometown!

One of our favorite aspects of living in Dallas is the countless events and openings that occur every single week. We stopped by one of my new favorite stores, Planet Bardot, for their recent launch party and had such a blast. Don’t get me wrong, I love shopping at luxury department stores, but I definitely consider myself to be more of a boutique shopper. Planet Bardot has a wonderful location right on Knox St, and they have everything I need for any occasion. It’s the perfect spot to pop in for new candles, FREECITY loungewear, or just some fabulous new pieces for your closet! I stopped in one afternoon after a brunch at Taverna and the employees are absolutely wonderful. With brands like Fornasetti, Helmut Lang, Rebecca Taylor, and Joie, Planet Bardot is definitely a go-to for all things trendy.

Be sure to snag a pair of our favorite Yosi Samra flats!

Happy Friday friends! Last night we attended the Sewell Lexus Design party at 129 Leslie. This venue is hands down my favorite location in Dallas – flashback to Italian Fashion Week. Beats by Jeff Mitchell, fashion by Stanley Korshak, dinner by Dean Fearing (who can hate the Ritz?), and beautiful Lexus vehicles parked throughout are just some of the exciting ingredients to a fabulous evening! The best part about the whole night was all the proceeds from the party were donated to the charity of your choice!
