BETTER THAN EVER

BETTER THAN EVER

Fabulous fashion is back this fall, bold and beautiful. Now that we are returning to board rooms and ballrooms, we’re craving connection and communication—optimistic expression through fabulous flair. Our vivacious style hunter Eleanora Morrison, of Eleanora.co., weighs in with her boisterous recommendations.

A DOLL’S HOUSE

For a Texas fall, we always love a billowy blouse. Perfect for the days when the heat starts to subside, and the breezes begin to blow like this Loewe Doll House Printed Oversized Shirt for your transitional seasonal wardrobe.

$1,550. At Neiman Marcus.

THAT MAKES TOTAL SCENTS

The best accessory to any room is a vibrant scent that evokes your mood. We recommend Set To Jet, the 100% environmentally safe soy, long-burning candle. It was created by Dirty Bartender Candles and The Society Chronicles for the brand-new luxury candle collection, Social-Lite Candles. There are many gorgeous scents from which to choose, in 11 oz. platinum glass.

$58. At DirtyBartender.com.

FALL’S PICK-ME-UP

An easy way to perk up any outfit is with a colorful pair of earrings that makes your gorgeous face the focus. We love these perennially happy and hand-crafted creations from Cassandra Collections. These 14k gold-filled, multi-floral earrings with pearls are a delight.

$350. At CassandraCollections.com.  

COLOR ME GORGEOUS

Leave it to Italian craftsmanship to make a colorful splash to add more vibrance to your ensemble. These sparkling bags are perfect from sunrise to sundown.

Prices vary from $360. By Mela of Italy. At The Garden Room, Austin.

GOOD FOR BEAUTY

The Estée Lauder Companies Breast Cancer Campaign has created a global impact since 1992. When you purchase the company’s product, a portion of the purchase price will raise funds towards the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF). We recommend the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex that harnesses the restorative power of night to deliver accelerated visible renewal.

$105. At EsteeLauder.com.

NATURE’S NEUTRAL

You know what they say about animal print—it’s nature’s neutral, and we love it to make a statement. This Turlington Leopard & Cherry-Print Cady Jacket will add just enough ‘wild thing’ to your seasonal ensembles.

$3,195. At Neiman Marcus.

FUSCHIA AND FAR BETWEEN

Who doesn’t love an eye-catching oversized knit reminiscent of the Big 80s? Whether you’re bopping between the office, the country club, or a cocktail party, this Intarsia wool and cotton blend cardigan will have you covered—and always chic.

$1,500. At Net-A-Porter.com.

PUFF PERFECT

Preparing to hit the slopes at some point throughout the coming chilly months? No doubt you’d stand out on the slopes wearing this bold tangerine Ganni Tech Cropped Puffer Jacket.

$425. At Neiman Marcus.

PATCHES OF ART

Where fashion meets art: these Dolce & Gabbana Patchwork 105mm Stiletto Boots are elegant, daring, expressive, and will be a conversation starter no matter which rooms you walk into this season.

$1,125. At Neiman Marcus.

BRIGHT AS THE RAINBOW

Bold and beautiful—this Salvatore Ferragamo Minibag Multicolored Gancini Jacquard Satchel Bag is a joyous pop of personality to add as a statement accessory with your seasonal ensembles.

SINGING THE BLUES

In search of a portable pouch to drop your most needed items in and go? Look no further than this Ganni Recycled Leather Crossbody Pouch Bag, a stylish and practical way to tote only your essentials throughout town.

GARDEN OF DELIGHT

IN FULL BLOOM

IN FULL BLOOM

The modern woman is a boss. She’s large and in charge of her own destiny. That’s why we love the powerful floral and 80s trends reflected in this season’s fashion frenzy. Familiar and comforting, fashion is the ultimate expression of the art collection that you wear. So, why not be a work of art this spring with this gorgeous inspiration to keep you blossoming from dusk ‘til dawn?
