Imagine James Bond on an airplane. Not the Daniel Craig, blah blah Bond, but the classic, 1960’s spy flicks. More importantly, imagine the super hot stewardess pouring Bond his shaken-not-stirred martini. Imagine the slick, formfitting, day-glo uniform this vixen is wearing as she flirts coyly with the secret agent. Don’t worry if you can’t wrap your mind around it: Tara Tonini is on it. Way, way on it.

West Elm in Mockingbird Station knows how to pimp your crib. And just like any other type of fashion, interior design has seasons as well, which is why West Elm decided to throw an evening soiree to celebrate their new Fall lines. This week, a $20 dollar donation, 10 percent of which was donated to DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting Aids) earned attendees a 10 percent discount at West Elm, along with a discount at a slew of other participating Mockingbird Station stores, like 25 percent off at Gap, 20 percent at hip shoe spot Centre and more.

After Lady Gaga reportedly garnered more Facebook friends than the leader of the free world, it was obvious there is just no stopping her. This couldn’t have been more evident last night (Lady Gaga’s second appearance this week at the American Airline Center) when thousands of fans paraded out in garb that would make the queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race blush.

There’s something about Manolo…

Head-to-toe fashion matters, which is why what your tootsies see isn’t in any way moot, no matter what the man in your life says (50 pairs of chic pumps are merely the tip of the pedicured iceberg.) To celebrate your love for lower level fashion, here’s a few haute boutiques to find that perfect fit.

Exiting Sylvan Avenue off I30, one would make a right to head to the popular destinations of Smoke and The Belmont. Along that short stretch of a few blocks, you’ll find a hodgepodge of random buildings, surrounded by overgrown grasses, their windows dark. You probably wouldn’t give another thought to this area unless it was a Monday or Tuesday evening, where, in front of one such unassuming store front, you will find a valet and a group of well-dressed individuals milling about, sipping white wine.

Buy buy, birdie.

Finding a great shop in the Big D isn’t difficult, it’s choosing your faves that can cramp your style. While I highly suggest you spend some time discovering the perfect trove in which to spend your dough, here’s a few excellent places to begin, all located in the heart of various shopping havens in the city.

We know Dallas is the shopping mecca of the South, but that doesn’t stop at Steve Madden and Stella McCartney. Dallasites understand the importance of being a work of art while living in one, so it’s no surprise we have our fair share of home decor and interior design stores popping up practically everyday to help us articulate our abodes. Here are a few chic faves.

We in Dallas are kind of known for our ‘do’s, meaning, our larger-than-life hairdos that manage to have a life and reputation all their own. Which is why we only trust the best of the best with our locks….a bad cut means weeks in isolation tucked away in our castle-like Highland Park homes. But, of course, we can count on our lovely city to pull out all the stops and come complete with serious shear professionals to keep us satisfied.

Not that one actually needs an excuse to shop in Dallas (I find myself at Northpark Mall simply to enjoy the frigid air conditioning), but I stumbled across three gems that will make you want to grab the Platinum card and throw on those cute yet comfy shopping sandals. Go ahead. Indulge yourself
