Celebrate the 4th of July at the 17th Annual  Red Hot & Blue Festival  & Fireworks Extravaganza at Town Green Park and along the Woodlands Waterway 

As you can see, I am spreading my wings and stepping out of my Inner Loop comfort zone and have been venturing out to The Woodlands where lots of fun, exciting things are happening and I am certainly seeing why so many of my retailer friends are doing the same. I was amazed at all of the great shopping there is to be done, especially in the Market Street area…….Elaine Turner, Kendra Scott, Trina Turk, Tommy Bahamas’ flagship and many, many more.  Stay tuned!

Awhile back I was invited by Linda and Paul David of PVA Events, to be a guest at a couple of events in the Woodlands that I was assured would be the best fashion events for me to check out, that would give me a taste of The Woodlands fashion customer, what she likes and where she shops   I first visited Kendra Scott Jewelry Store grand opening that benefited Habitat for Humanity Montgomery County’s 25th Anniversary  Gala and it was a history maker for the fashion jewelry company as well, as it  broke all opening night records for them. Then later I took part in their Gala evening for the same charity, whose theme was “There’s No Place Lke Home.”  MCHFH hosted hundreds of great looking Woodlandites donning their very best for a stunning evening that raised over $500,000 for their efforts.
