Horchow Finale in Plano is one of my favorite places to find discounted luxury items. For those who do not know, Horchow Finale is where you can find items from Horchow and Neiman Marcus mail-order catalogs.  I’m talking beautiful furniture, lamps, linen, tabletop/decorative items, handbags, fragrances and jewelry…all deeply discounted. On a recent trip to Horchow Finale I found this… [...]

There has been a lot of hype surrounding the opening of the Thrift Studio pop up shop in the design district so I took a drive over there on Saturday to check it out.

I love pottery.  Oddly enough, I just found out we have a Dallas Pottery Invitational.  This year the event was held in April in a gallery at South Side on Lamar. Have a look at this vase created by Louise Rosenfield of Dallas, one of the exhibitors. So unique and simple. I really hate that I missed the Dallas [...]

It is about time to upgrade the television in my bedroom.  I really like this Panasonic Viera at Best Buy in Plano. As an avid reader of Consumer Reports, I should probably check to see if they have reviewed this model before I buy.

(Merci) Beaucoup

Offering a mix of housewares, gifts, clothing and accessories, Beaucoup is an ultra chic boutique located in Richardson in Campbell Road Village. Beaucoup is a great place to scout gifts for someone or yourself.  I really love Beaucoup because they have fabulous sales and amazing smelling candles all over the store. Truth be told, Beaucoup is full of eye candy.  Hidden gems [...]

 World Market on Preston and SH 121 in Plano is one of my favorite places to shop for gifts but I think I would love this for myself.

Dallas has a great Design District.  Scott+Cooner have a showroom on Hi Line Drive that is home to these funky modern Anne Kyyrö Quinn cushions. They are so fun and would be a great conversation starter.

I have developed a small passion for antiques.  Lots of Furniture Antique Warehouse in Dallas on North Riverfront Drive (aka Industrial Blvd) receives pieces from all over the world and right here in Texas.  I saw so many beautiful pieces on their website, yet it was this Mexican Corner Cabinet that caught my eye. This would be great [...]
