Marfa: Camp Design Build

I'm dying to sign up for the Camp Design Build Adventure in Marfa this summer.

The four-day workshop held on the grounds of El Cosmico is lead by artist/builder Jack Sanders

From June 6-10 attendees get to learn about design, functionality, and how your environment effects the outcome and ultimately work on a community project benefitting local children

I can't figure out which I'm more excited about: Traffic men's and women's clothing stores, the Taschen bookstore or women's boutique TenOverSix, all of them are opening (the Traffic men's store is open now) in the next few weeks as the Joule makes its renovated debut. Finally downtown is being injected with some major energy.

Here's a quick peek at Traffic

Dying over this men's DSquared jacket. Want it for myself.

There's a smattering of women's, like this back corner of Rick Owens, a few racks of IRO, and some J Brand denim. There is free valet and the store will also offer home delivery if you can't make it down. Now there's no excuse not to do a little shopping south of Mockingbird.

Dallas: James Perse

Soooo excited that James Perse is opening in Highland Park Village this fall!

Finally I'll be able to shop the entire collection of my favorite tees and basics.

I would live in this dress all summer

And I'm praying that the new boutique will carry James Perse furniture

so simple and stylish

And seriously, this ping pong table is incredibly chic. Love.

Dallas: Forty Five Ten's the Four One One

Click over to my favorite boutique blog today, Forty Five Ten's The Four One One, for a look at my top picks for spring. Just back from Mexico so this was a lovely way to splash back into the Dallas scene.
