Retail therapy should be a universal human right.
Tell me I’m wrong.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we just got a ton of new jewelry, and it’s not going to last long.
Also, books.
So golden.
Our new fave summer fit just landed.

It was a busy weekend for us! We dressed clients all over the city.
So fortunate to have the loveliest people like to dress. Nipal was so kind and beautiful outside and inside. It was a pleasure bringing her gown to life!
This would have made a great Galentine’s Day post, but tonight I’m feeling the feels and missing my Paris friends.
I was asked to speak at my son’s school yesterday morning and as I was going through photos to put together the presentation, I came across so many wonderful memories of my time living in France. The friendships that I formed and the memories that I made have stayed with me . There was something so incredibly special about that time that I will never be able to re-create. There’s a sadness to that, but there’s also a joy in looking back at photos from that time.
The friends that I made during those formative years are still some of my best friends. I’m so looking forward to reuniting with many of them when I go back to Paris next month. It always feels like home.
Last night we celebrated early with !

There are few people whose work after the most visible and important position in their career eclipses that job. While politics may divide the country and polarize us, Jimmy Carter's work as a humanitarian continued way past what most people would consider necessary. His love for people and for making the world a better place for everyone is inspiring.
Sending much love to him and his family this President's Day.

One of the best compliments I can think of is when a friend and fellow “industry “ person chooses us for their big life moments. They know the ins and outs and often are connected to so many different resources and options.

#2023
2022 is coming to a close, and I'm eager to welcome 2023! We've had one of the best and hardest years ever.
I've learned so much. I've always thought of myself as a patient person, but the buildout of our new boutique tested that notion. It's almost been 2 years since I first saw the space, and to see the transformation finally coming to a close (I won't say the end because I have so many more ideas) is a relief.
We closed out the year with the installation of our long-awaited wallpaper by . It's been a LONG time coming, but so worth it. I walk through the room now and can't believe I'm lucky to call this place mine. I have lots planned to show you exactly how it came to be and what makes it so special, so for now, visit its handpainted goodness in person for yourself!
This year has taught us a lot about our process. We grew in revenue and our team. There were moments when I wasn't sure we would get it all done (spoiler alert, we did!). Because of our growth, we had more tight turnarounds than we ever anticipated, and we knew that to offer you the level of luxury you deserve, we needed to look at our process and improve it.
Our new Design Consultation process is among many other systems we are implementing behind the scenes. If you are interested in having something made in the new year and have not yet scheduled your appointment, you'll want to read the BLOG about these changes. Don't worry! It's to make life better for everyone, especially you!
Thank you again for supporting us this year. The amount of love we received after (both) of the robberies was staggering. Knowing that we have a community that cares about us as much as we care about them is everything.
Thank you for being here with us this year. I'm thrilled to see you in person in 2023 and to show you the new wallpaper!
As we head to the close of the year, it wonderful to look back at some of the gorgeous clients that we got to dress.
I mean, it would be hard to make this group look anything less than spectacular!
A highlight of the year was dressing these gorgeous women for . I love how fun, colorful, and full of personality each gown was.
Even better was getting to know each of these extraordinary women. They are some of the kindest and wonderful people you will meet. It was an honor to be a part of their special day.
We were able to see the wonderful theme by of come to life and what a grand night it was! I’ll have to create a reel to show you just how special this evening was.
‘Tis the season to give!
We’ve stocked up on all our favorites for the holidays!
Come shop our extended Holiday Hours!
Today until 5PM
Sunday: 12-4
t shouldn't be a secret that I LOVE books. But what if books were just another pretty face?
I mean, I know you WANT to read all the books, but there just isn't time. What if I told you there are books you can buy just for their covers and how gorgeous they are?
And that no one will judge you because they are that pretty?
Mind you, I have read all these books because I am that kind of nerd, but when I saw how insanely gorgeous they were, I bought them for the store because of their covers. Yes, I was that person.
You can be too!
With gilt pages, embossed covers, and beautiful designs, you aren't going to feel guilty if you don't read them. (I may judge you, but...)
These beautiful books make the ideal gift. They are the perfect accessory for a guest room nightstand. Your guests will think you are literary AND have the most exquisite taste. Fake it until you make it, I say!
So go ahead and judge a book by its cover. You'll be glad you did.
I’m a sucker and jumped on the AI bandwagon.
Gotta admit, I’m not mad at the results! And I hate photos of myself.
Kinda makes me think they are headshots/promo pics for a big budget film or TV series.
In order, I’m thinking:
1. Lord of the Rings
2. The Aviator
3. Rebel Without a Cause
4. The Great Gatsby
5. The Breakfast Club
What movies do you think of when you see them?
Need to shop but wish we had more hours? Well, you’re in luck!
We have extended hours for the month of December to help you get through holiday shopping!
We are open 24/7 online!
It’s deb season around here!

I mean!!!
We truly have the most stunning
brides!
Thrilled that we got to be a small part of wedding and the anticipated arrival of the newest addition to their family.

Gratitude only begins to describe how I feel this Thanksgiving.
Record breaking sales have had our entire team working overtime. We’ve been going 7 days a week for the past month or so.
As a small business, these are the problems that you hope and dream to have. It’s been hard, not only the hours but the pressure to make sure that our clients feel seen and appreciated.
Because, we wouldn’t be here without our clients. You. The people who trust us with the most cherished days and memories in your life. We love you and appreciate you for giving us the opportunity to participate in memories that you will hold for the rest of your life.
To our incredible team, I salute you. You are growing and evolving along with our business. We would be nothing without you.
Happy thanksgiving!
15 years with this one by my side.
Seems like yesterday and also another lifetime.
We lived a lot of lives in those years, lost 2 parents, had 2 kids, and been through some incredible highs and the lowest of lows.
Love you always, . ❤️
📢 What better gift for a true Texan (or a transplant) than our sparkling, brand new Lamé Texas Pillows by our very own !
You can even customize them with a little heart over your hometown or college town! How fun is that?!?!
As Dolly says, “There’s no such thing as too much glitter.”
📣 We've been waiting for months for this, and I'm so excited to announce that Champagne Puzzles are HERE!
We haven't been able to keep our Water & Wine Puzzles in stock and I kept patiently (or not so patiently, really) waiting for the Champagne Puzzle to be released!
It's here and it's so good!
We only have a limited number in stock, so get them before they are gone (a little bit like that last bottle of champagne)!
These make then BEST GIFT! Don’t worry, we’ll let you take all the credit!
Not going to sugar coat it. It’s been a rough week. Actually, a rough month or two. We have had explosive growth and with that has come new challenges. Don’t get me wrong, these are all good problems, but we have been working overtime (and then some) to deliver to our clients and make sure they are thrilled with their experience. It’s been HARD.
Some days can be exhausting, but when I get images like this from clients wearing the creations we’ve make, I’m suddenly not so tired!
ROCKED this psychedelic creation to The Orange Show Gala last weekend! It’s the perfect combo of chic and over the top fun! If only every gala has such a fun theme!
Thanks, Melissa, for letting us play dress up with you!

I’m David. My official title here is “Head of Everything,” which sums it up pretty much. My days range from finding myself on the studio floor, pinning a hem, to throwing on a tux and heading out to a black-tie gala or wedding for a client. I am mostly known for custom, couture quality wedding and evening gowns & easy pieces that become wardrobe staples. I’m the king of winging it and making it work.
Collaborating with fellow small business owners and making women feel like the best possible version of themselves is what gets me going. My life’s passions are travel, movies, good TV (and some of the bad to be honest), and my family. Textiles sourced from around the globe, exuberant color, playful textures, and artistic prints are infused into my designs, many of which are limited editions. I love that we make our clothing here in Houston in our own factory that’s connected to our boutique.
I design for women who want something a little different and appreciate quality clothes that stand the test of time. Luxury isn’t just the number of zeros on a price tag, it’s an experience. Getting to know our clients and what makes them tick is what sets us apart. There are a ton of beautiful dresses in the world, but the experience of having something made for you that truly makes you feel comfortable and the best version of you is what makes us unique. Having clothing made for you doesn’t have to be scary or intimidating. It should be fun and enjoyable. That’s what we do!
Each summer, I am a guest artist at Interlochen Center for the Arts. Houston Chronicle named me one of the Most Interesting People of 2015, and I was a League of Women Voters Rising Star. I served as the Chair of the Fashion Task Force for the Greater Houston Partnership for four years, for three years as the Creative Director and Producer for the KNOWAutism Gala, have co-chaired the Alley Theatre Ball After Party, and my wife Michelle and I co-chaired the Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) 2018 Gala & the Judy’s Mission Possible Luncheon 2018. As a creative consultant, I’ve overseen the uniform design of the JW Marriot Houston Downtown, Hotel Ylem, and Oxbow 7 at Le Méridien Houston Downtown.
My work has been featured on the cover of Women's Wear Daily and in publications such as Teen Vogue, Lucky, Marie Claire, InStyle, and People Style Watch as well as popular television shows America’s Next Top Model, Hart of Dixie, and E! News. I’ve also been lucky enough to dress celebrities like Kate Bosworth, Jaime King, Giuliana Rancic, Mayim Bialik, Maggie Grace, Ashlan Gorse, Kelly Levesque, Rose McGowan, Esperanza Spalding, Lauren Conrad, and Taylor Swift. I’ve also had my creations exhibited at the Ellen Noël Art Museum(a Smithsonian Affiliate) and at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston.
When I’m not busy working, you can catch me chasing after my two toddler boys and planning my next world adventure. While I love exploring new places, I would never complain about going back to Aspen, London, and Paris.
If you’re dying to hear more, here are five things you might not know about me.
1. I lived and worked in Paris, France for almost 5 years while attending Parsons Paris School of Art + Design. 2. My first degree is in classical cello and I spent several summers at Aspen Music Festival. And no, I haven’t played since I was in a Jack Johnson-y type band in Paris over 11 years ago. 3. I tried out for the second season of American Idol and ended up sleeping on the street in downtown Detroit and then crashing with strangers I met in line while going through the audition process.
4. I serve on the board of several arts organizations including TUTS (Theatre Under The Stars, Houston), Houston Community College Advisory Board, Paris College of Art (Paris, France), and PS One Portfolio School (Beijing, China) which allows me to travel the world doing what I love.
5. Before moving to Paris, I had only been out of the USA for 48 hours for a quick trip to England (unless you count crossing the Canadian border at Niagra Falls).
Still here? Let’s connect! I hang out on Instagram the most (especially on stories). You can also get my weekly email with interviews with my creative friends and small business owners, behind the scenes looks at what we are creating in the studio, and exclusive invites to fun parties!
