Add some WOW to your week with Houston sales and parties galore
Trade a hot and ho-hum week for sales and parties that have an extra wow factor.
Did somebody say sale?
I’m always a bit jealous of the people in New York who are treated regularly to sample and designer sales, so I am quite pleased about Elaine Turner’s Summer Shoe sale Thursday at her Rice Village boutique. Houston’s own designer darling is marking shoes up to 70 percent off and is opening her doors to the public at 10 a.m. Take that NYC.
While we're in the mood to shop and save, M Penner in Uptown Park summer sale starts Friday. Expect up to 60 percent off men's suits, shoes and sportswear and up to 75 percent off in the women's boutique.
A party with WOW factor
Some if the city’s most dynamic women will be at the Dress for Success headquarters Thursday for the Women of Wardrobe membership drive. The party has a purpose of course, but there’s also a chance to pick up accessories from Tres Chic, cute kid’s stuff from Itsy Bitsy Baby and get glam with NovaLash, Laura Mercier and West Ave’s Rome Salon and Day Spa.
There’s also bites, sips and an opportunity to become a part of this important organization that helps women regain confidence through job training, new work wardrobes and networking.
Project Glam
Radio station Mix 96.5 is taking over the Omni Hotel Friday for Project Glam, a full on shopping and beauty extravaganza from 5-9 p.m. There’s shopping (Billy Reid, Nima Boutique and M2M are among the retailers) spa treatments, giveaways, product samples and a loaded swag bag too.
