DENIM SPECIAL: CHAMBRAY


Meet this month’s GOTM: Allie

With one year left at the university, this west coast girl knows her way around Manhattan (and Dallas). From Georgio Armani to Tory Burch, she has learned from the best and is now joining our team here at AV.

Shopping in the village, Allie wears one of the hottest styles of the season-denim is no longer reserved for blue jeans.

SHREDDED TEES


We’ve been seeing this jersey-guaze fabrication all over our favorite high-end haunts but have been unable to find a piece under $500.

Enter: Hero Crane.

FD LUXE LOOK OF THE WEEK


HOLD THE PHONE!!!

The new BCBGeneration store just opened in the Dallas Galleria across from BCBG and it is INSANE!! The clothes are SO CHEAP and made with the same quality you see across the row at BCBG.

COVETABLE CASHMERE


Michael (Kors) has inspired us again. But besides him, there has really never been a time where we did not want to look like his campaign model, Carmes Kass.

We all have white shorts and avaitors, but where to find a fine Italian cashmere at a fraction of the price? J CREW.

NEW JERSEY: for the summer


We are LOVING Rachel Pally’s maxi dresses for summer. Her signature fabrics are super comfortable and we admire the way she manages to ‘sex up’ jersey.

Not 6’2″? All of her pieces have a raw cut hem so go grab the kitchen scissors and try to cut straight.

FRUGAL FRIDAY: GHOSTLY TO GLAMOROUS


The Problem: Now that we are NOT tanning in a salon, our extremities are looking a little too fleshy.

The Answer: Claudia.

Located at Campbell and Hillcrest in North Dallas, Claudia provides the best stand naked while I spray you experience in Dallas, while leaving us with enough cash for a mimosa afterwards.

Mention VENZedits when booking your appointment and get $5 off your spray. $25 was NEVER spent so well.

ELECTRIC FEEL


All of us southern girls are in our workout/ lounge gear WAYY too much.

(You know who you are.)

If you have to wear spandex around all day, at least invest in a pair of trendy kicks. (We are NOT talking about the Rocket Dog/ althletic shoe hybrid known as a ‘Shape Up’).

CHANNELING FENDI


This is one of our VERY FAVORITE LOOKS!! And believe it or not- it is totally achievable on a budget!!

This season, shy away from overly loud prints and keep toward the neutral section of your closet. We know it is soo confusing with VOGUE telling you that 80′s neon surf style is cool and Proenza Schouler believing them and creating an entire collection that resembles our father’s honeymoon attire. These are people we HIGHLY respect, but neon orange spandex is NEVER cool and is definitely NOT a wardrobe builder.

GAFAS DE SOL: BALMAIN


What is a label who brought back entended shoulder pads to do next? Collaborate with Oliver Peoples and create sunglasses. Duh.

For those of us who are still waiting on our tax return to invest in a $600 piece of fashionable glory, Forever 21 has come through, YET AGAIN!

Got change for a $10? All you will need is $5.80 to enjoy this seasons new look.

A SINCH!


Does anyone recognize this studded rocker belt? We do too.

Matthew Williamson has been producing a similar belt for seasons and Forever 21 got it just right with the Rocker Nights Belt for $15.80.

We are using ours to sinch up an oversized scarf we have tied up to wear as a dress. Photos to come.
