cocktail party hour

tonight after my mommy duties and usual day in the office, i am going to meet friends at a cocktail party and it feels good to dress up fancy once in awhile. for me, fancy dressing may mean putting on red lipstick, a pair of red soled heels and maybe a piece of statement jewelry. 

the cocktail party kicks off the week long houston hermes event, festival des metiers. legendary hermes craftsmen will showcase their skills and demonstrate their expertise in creating all the luxurious handmade gifts that the brand is known for.  the festival des metiers is open to the public starting wednesday october 10 - 14 at 1800 post oak blvd houston, texas.

splendid opening + crafting

this past saturday was the grand opening of the first ever Splendid store in texas located at the highland village houston. invited by local blogger audrey of spilled milk style, i brought along my 5 year old boy aston for some exciting crafts, activities and shopping. it was a fun-filled morning meeting new friends as well as spending time with girlfriends who also brought along their sweet little ones! 

Splendid is known for their super comfortable, chic clothing. it first started out as a tshirt line that quickly grew to a lifestyle collection for the whole family with several store locations nationwide as well as in canada and israel. the line is also carried in major high-end department stores, specialty boutiques and online retailers. 

 

 

Splendid partnered with their friends at crafting community to bring creative fun crafting activities for the whole family to enjoy on this grand opening day. kids get to pick out and make colorful buttons they wore throughout the event!

shop, shop shop !
