    Real style: This high-powered oil executive knows how to keep it "feminine" while maintaining an edge

    Clifford Pugh
    Dec 11, 2014 | 9:26 am

    For the Pamella Roland spring 2015 collection runway show and cocktail party at Elizabeth Anthony, Hallie Vanderhider chose a black lambskin dress with black and sable lurel panels created by the designer. "Pamella Roland is one of my favorite designers and this dress was one of my favorite designs, so I wanted to honor her by wearing it," Vanderhider wrote in an email.

    She accessorized the dress with a black mother-of-pearl cuff and sterling silver geode earrings with black mother-of-pearl and white sapphires, both by Kara Ross, and Jimmy Choo pumps. The dress and jewelry were purchased from Elizabeth Anthony; the shoes came from Joseph.

    Vanderhider, who has worked as an executive in the oil and gas industry through much of her career and currently is a consultant at Catalyst Partners LLC, says her style varies to fit the occasion — sometimes very "feminine" and other times "classic with an edge."

    Check out CultureMap's Style File to see to see what some of Houston's most stylish women and men are wearing.

    Texas brand Lucchese launches UT Longhorns collection with boots and more

    UT Longhorns The Bevo boots by Lucchese

    Some styles come with a Longhorn logo front-and-center; others are more subtle.

    As of August 1, obsessive Longhorns fans have new collectible accessories to showcase their devotion. El Paso-based luxury bootmaker Lucchese has unveiled a new collection in collaboration with the University of Texas Athletics Department. Styles include boots with logos, subtler color-coded boots, a stadium-friendly bag, and even a ridiculously fancy football.

    For boots, the collection includes two men's styles and three women's styles, and all are mostly white or cream-colored with burnt orange accents. Both men's and women's styles have the option for a Longhorn logo, but only women get the more under-the-radar logo-less look.

    Here's a quick overview of the styles, which largely look similar with different silhouettes and accents:

    • The Bevo ($1,195): A men's boot with burnt orange full quill ostrich leather around the foot and cream leather up the sides. A Longhorn logo sits on the front.
    • The 40 Acres ($795): A boot with both men's and women's silhouettes, with a dark brown leather around the foot, cream or white leather up the sides, and a Longhorn logo on the front.
    • The Priscilla ($1,095) and Tilly ($695): Two silhouettes for women, featuring cream leather and elegant burnt orange stitching. The Priscilla is much taller.

    In addition to the boots, fans who need to consider stadium rules when packing a bag might consider the Stadium Shopper, a small, clear purse with a short handle and a detachable strap that is long enough to be worn crossbody. Ostrich leather ($895, or "cognac" leather in the less expensive variety, for $395) lines everything but the sides, with a mirrored-L logo stamped in.

    Finally, fans with $595 burning a hole through their clear purses can purchase a UT Exotic Football, which instead of the standard cowhide leather is wrapped in ostrich leather. It also includes both the mirrored-L and Longhorn logos in reflective gold, with a line that says "Official Sponsor of Texas Athletics" in all caps.

    “Lucchese is authentically Texan through and through, and there’s no brand more fitting to stand alongside the Longhorns,” said UT vice president and Lois and Richard Folger Athletics director Chris Del Conte in a press release. “What started as a great collaboration around boots has grown into something even bigger. It’s an exciting time to have them back as a sponsor and to keep that Texas-bred tradition alive in new ways.”

    These accessories can be purchased online, but there will also be several places to find them in person, including four Houston-area Lucchese stores. They'll be available at every Texas football home game from September through December. There will also be pop-ups at the Etter-Harbin Texas Exes Alumni Center (presumably for the same length of time), a gameday market called Big Bertha’s Bazaar on September 6, and the Bevo Blvd pre-game experience November 28.

    They're available just in time for passionate Longhorns to sport them at CultureMap's big fall sports bash, The Tailgate, taking place September 11 at 8th Wonder. Favorite Houston restaurants and chefs will serve up sports-inspired bites, and premium cocktails will keep guests hydrated as they meet-and-greet Texas sports legends, bid on memorabilia in a silent auction, and enjoy more game-day fun.
