Houston: Sunday Riley

A few months ago when F|D Luxe debuted my column "State Wide" one of the first people I wanted to write about was Houston born and raised Sunday Riley.
Riley's press person sent me a slew of skin products to try and I'm down to my last drop of this extremely addictive dry oil. Over the course of 3 months I've used it every single day and it's given my skin a perpetual glow. I've got oily skin, but it hasn't clogged my pores, absorbs quickly into my skin, and moisturizes like nothing else. Love it, love Sunday, and headed to Barneys tomorrow to buy another bottle.

Everywhere: American Apparel twist scarf

Just picked up a $14 twist scarf from American Apparel and have been playing around with it for an upcoming ensemb.
They're evocative of Louis Vuitton's 2009 bunny ears, but not as dramatic and look at me, more of a plebeian take on the idea. I'm not completely sure if they'll work on me, but you know who they look darling on? My 3 year old. I think I may have just answered my own question.

San Antonio: Dorien Leigh

Have you read the Town & Country cover story (Jan' 11 issue) on Dorien Leigh? It's a fascinating look at the life of the San Antonio native who is widely considered the world's first supermodel.
Leigh's younger sister Suzy Parker was equally as stunning and was also one of the highest paid models of her time.

Dallas: SMU Glossy

After 9 pm is my time to relax, but right now I'm having an 'effin conniption after scouring through 20 pages of SMU Glossy.
Have you seen this? If you're over 30 you've probably not and I'm def over 30. I'm not emotionally equipped right now to figure out whether it's pure jealousy and the in-my-face realization that my collegiate style was no where near as cool as these SMU kids or if I'm p.o.'ed that half of them dress better than I do now.

Dallas: Forty Five Ten

It's that time again! And just when I'm ready to add another Rick Owens skirt to my repertoire. Happy hunting...
