What are Houston Women Wearing?

So last week, I collaborated with Shecky's to track down the latest & greatest fashion trends in H-town, and boy did I fall into a gold mine! There were tons of surprises! Want to know what I found, and vote on your favorite Houston trends? You can find our trend report here.

Vintage Poppy

Just a little quickie today. Found this Christmas ornament on etsy and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy for the holidays!

Whimsical Holidays

Been looking to modernize my holiday décor this year, and (as always) West Elm has hit the nail on the head. Their new collection is from David Stark, and it makes my heart happy!

Shecky's Best Dressed

Had a blast at Shecky's Girls Night Out this past weekend. Lots of hot, trendsetting Houston ladies. Thought I'd share some photos of my favorite trendsetters from the event. You just might recognize some of them...

**By the way, thanks Shecky's for featuring us here

Minty Fresh

So, I've been completely lazy, and have skipped out on sending holiday cards for pretty much the last few years. I think I just got a bored with the same old Walmart/Target/Walgreens personalized photo card, and didn't want to send out any more lame-o greetings. Well, I just found some new inspiration. Hooray for Minted.com!! They have this classic, modern and fresh selection of personalized designer greetings. All of your friends will think you paid a fortune to have them custom designed for you, but don't worry...your secret is safe with me.

It's That Time Of Year Again!

Shecky's Girls Night Out is coming back to H-town this weekend. If you haven't been yet, you should definitely give it a go! Girly drinks, tons of shopping, spa services and the famous Shecky's goodie bags that never disappoint!

Tickets are $25 in advance($35 at the door) but if you buy your tickets HERE and enter FAB10OFF at checkout, you get $10 off just for being Houston's Weekly Chic readers (thanks Shecky's!).

I'll be wandering around the event trend hunting, so if you see me please come say hello!

Saloni Lodha

I've got a crazy week going on, but I wanted to take just a few minutes to show you my new favorite designer. London based Saloni Lodha has some of the most amazing shift dresses, skirts, etc..that I've ever laid eyes on. See for yourself.

Winter Blues

Seeing a lot of blues around town, and thinking this would be a delightfully icy trend for the holidays. Wouldn't these pumps be the talk of your holiday party?

Christian Louboutin Glitter Peep-Toe Pump

Stephanie Hobo

Just can't seem to get enough of the metallic black Stephanie Hobo from DVF. I'd like to add it to my holiday wish list this year. Hope Santa isn't suffering from the economic downturn....

Wild Sorbet

One of my favorite things about working with clients, is when they introduce me to new businesses that I love. Here's a site that I've been playing with this morning. It's called Wild Sorbet, and they have one of the most fantastic selection of frames that I've found on the web. A wide array of colors, textures, and just overall delightful frames! Give it a look see, you will adore.

Save the Ta-ta's Swarovski Clutch

Over due for your breast cancer donation this month? This sparkling conversation piece is just the ticket! Up for auction on ebay, 100% of the sales from this clutch goes toward the Save the Ta-Tas foundation on behalf of Zoe Klutch and Charity Chicks Houston.

Pretty much anything with the word "ta-ta's" on it belongs in my closet. I may just have to put in the first bid, I'd be the envy of all of my friends! Bid on it here.

Paranormal Portraits & Spooky Terrariums

This past weekend, I picked up a copy of Country Living Magazine for some brand spankin' new Halloween ideas. It isn't one of my usual mags, but I am soooo impressed with their Halloween décor, that it will now be added to my list of regulars. All of the decorations above are super easy DIY crafts that you can learn how to create on their website.

Mod Mags

Been hunting for some chic magazine storage for a friend's new place, and thought I'd share some of my favorites today...

A Rose By Any Other Name...

Just got back from my magical surprise Birthday weekend in Siesta Key, Florida. What a fantabulous weekend! I'll definitely post some photos later on this week. Would have loved to don these shades in the bright Florida sun while I was there. Ah well, a girl can dream...

Rose Sunglasses, Valentino

Leavin on a jet plane...

I just got an amazing Birthday surprise. Just found out last night, that in just a few hours from now, I will be hopping on a plane and heading here...

Can anybody guess where I'm going? See you when I get back guys!!

Vamping it Up

For those of you who find wearing a costume to work a little overstated, try getting in touch with your inner vamp with this little pendant.

Glittery Ghouls

Ya know, my girl Martha really never dissapoints. Just when I think she might actually run out of ideas, she's back with more creepy-yet-sophisticated Halloween decor yet again this year. Here are some favorites I'm hoping to use at my personal haunted mansion...err...haunted patio home...

Eskimo Chic

It's so rainy and yucky today, and these furry Sheepskin Boots look like they would be divine for keeping your feet dry and moasty toasty. Totally Eskimo-chic. That's my new term. I coined it, and you must pay me if you'd like to use it. Okay, so I suppose it is possible that someone else has used it before, but I still declare it mine!
