    Shelby's Social Diary

    Spring Fling brings the ladies out to shop, eat and coo over a sweetie designer

    That sweetie designer David Peck went beyond the typical call when he welcomed a coterie of Covenant House Texas Guild members and their friends into his new showroom in Upper Kirby for a results-orientated get-together that included a 20 percent donation of everything sold to the non-profit. Most often retailers make that a 10 percent donation.

    While shopping was on each of the ladies' minds, the annual Spring Fling also presented the opportunity to sign up for volunteer committees and to commit to helping out with birthday parties, special events, parenting enrichment classes, the spring gala and the like.

    Organizing the social that included bubbly and light bites from Roots Bistro were chairs artist Hahn Tran and Jackie Fair and guild president Amanda Crump.

    Designer Peck welcomed the ladies who included Covenant House Texas CEO Ronda Robinson, Cheryl Boblitt, Mary Eads, Christina Zhou, June Reeder, Yubi Escalona, Julie Rogers, Truluck's owner Patti Turner and daughter Kaitlin Mooney, fashion blogger Annina Stefanelli and Sharon Sanders.

    Breakthrough T1D Style for a Cure 2026

    What: Style for a Cure

    Where: River Oaks District

    The Scoop: If retail therapy had a philanthropic alter ego, it would look a lot like Style for a Cure.

    More than 200 style-savvy Houstonians descended on the River Oaks District for a day of sartorial indulgence benefiting Breakthrough T1D. Helmed by personal stylist Dale Volpe of Styled by Dale, alongside 2026 Promise Ball Chairs Alexandra and Richard Bruskoff, the event turned the luxe shopping enclave into a veritable runway. Style for a Cure raised nearly $30,000.

    Guests bounced between more than 20 participating boutiques — think Adam Lippes, Alice + Olivia, Carolina Herrera, and LoveShackFancy — where 20 percent of proceeds supported Breakthrough T1D’s mission.

    The day kicked off at the so-called Haute Headquarters, where the crowd fueled up with iced lattes, matcha, almond croissants, and conchas from Ojo de Agua, alongside B12 boosts courtesy of Clinic Concierge. Meanwhile, Loewe kept spirits high with cocktails and mocktails, and the Cheek Makeup Bar by Faceforward Cosmetics at LoveShackFancy added a touch of glow-up glamour. Over at Assouline, mahjong tiles clicked in chic harmony thanks to the Traveling Mahjong Series, while A.L.C. offered bespoke embroidery for those craving a personalized flourish.

    The event set the stage for Breakthrough T1D’s upcoming Night in Black and White Promise Ball on April 11 at Hilton Americas–Houston. The ball will honor the Judy and Bob Morgan family and the Amy and Tim Haskell family, with Linda Brown receiving the Meredith and Fielding Cocke Visionary Award and Elizabeth and James Elder spotlighted as the Fund A Cure family.

    Who: Blanca Lozano, Luisa Rangel de Alba, Clara Hough, James Elder and Linda Brown, Rick Byrd, Christie Vlahakos, Andrea Stewart, Merritt Bullock, Rochelle Bullock, Vanessa Ames, Alexandra Bruskoff, Carolina Herrera, Dale Volpe, Dorothy Azubuko, Elizabeth Elder, Mary Dawson, Jennifer Cope, Karl Lystad, Jacy Cooper, Megan Weston, Natalie Mohtashami, Meredith Marshall, Natasha Parvizian, Deandrea Dillard, Safia Chaudry, Asma Faiz, Amina Malik, Sidra Qadri Jadwet, Shelby Stegent, Stephanie Fleck, Peter Duffney, Laura Rathe, Teddy Bruskoff, Marjorie Grossman, Thea Pheasey, Hillary Jebbitt, Tina Chadda, and Noreen Baig.
