Frisco Savvy is about bringing you what’s special right here in our hometown. That means shining a light on people who deserve attention for being excellent members of our community, and we want to brag on Don Vanderslice of Don’s Blue Water Pools.

Robb Ernest, our co-founder and sassy, sensible, Savvy style guru, is leaving Frisco Savvy in order to devote his full time and attention to other business ventures.

Once a year during the summer session before they recess for July 4th, all the members of the U.S. Senate participate in Seersucker Thursday, which happens to be today. If you aren’t familiar with the Southern summer fabric known as seersucker, there’s no time like the present to learn about it.

You need a nude sandal for summer, one that is invisible but makes your legs look a mile long. Trust us!

Memorial Day is a time when many of us take care to fly the United States flag at our homes or businesses. But this isn’t as simple as buying a flag and sticking it in the ground. Before flying our flag, you should learn about the U.S. Flag Code, the national protocol that determines appropriate flag presentation.

In which we gossip a little about some Highland Park PTA drama, but only so we can examine the beam in our own eye.

Did you know that this is National Etiquette Week? Etiquette isn’t about anything more complicated than using good manners: being considerate of others, being gracious, being grateful. It’s better to be known as the nice person who ate from the wrong bread plate than the jerkface who mocked someone for it. Get our recs for great etiquette guides, inside.

Among other things, May means it’s time to start thinking about summer camp prep. Whether your kiddos are headed to Longhorn, Arrowhead, Mystic, Stewart, Waldemar, Heart o’ the Hills, Grady Spruce or even out of state, they need a footlocker. Conveniently for you, one of the best case makers in the country is right here in Dallas.

And lo, the suburbs rejoiced! Freebirds World Burrito opened yesterday on Preston at Headquarters just south of 121. Burritos are their specialty, which you customize to perfection.

You know, we thought about doing some funny April Fool’s Day post, like telling you we got bought by Vogue Magazine or that Robb and I are both going to quit the style business and become actuaries. But we got bored with it, so instead are going to just tell you about some new hot shops in town.
