I had a big Texas-y post all ready to go for the holiday but it turns out there is BREAKING FASHION NEWS: On Thursday, March 4, Neiman Marcus at the Shops at Willow Bend in Plano is hosting the “Fashion Rules!” party from 6pm – 9pm. This will be a night to celebrate fashion, filled with all sorts of divine entertainments.

NYLO Plano is running a fab special through this weekend…

We are so thrilled to tell you about The Food Boutique, a smart new shop located at the Shops at Legacy. Now, made-to-order sandwiches, hot takeaway items, baked goods, fresh produce, cheeses, fresh flowers, a fantastic wine selection, everyday grocery items, and a coffee bar are all available without ever having to get in your car…

Improve your carbon footprint and commitment to better food, by buying from local farmers and growers whenever you can. Like Lucky Layla Farms, right here in Plano. They have happy Texas cows, who make good milk, which is turned into excellent award-winning cheeses, milks, yogurts and butter.

Don’t miss “Home for the Holidays”, a performance by the Plano Symphony right here at Frisco High School, on December 19, at 4:00 pm.

Thanksgiving is practically here, and many shopping centers and community groups around the CoCo are dolling up to encourage you to come visit. Check out our roundup of the best community Christmas-kickoff events (many taking place this weekend!), and mark your calendars…

Just in time for shopping season, there are some changes afoot at the Shops at Legacy. We spied some new storefronts and some exciting arrivals. Take note, if you haven’t been lately:

We’re going to go shoptailing (which means “shopping with cocktails,” naturellement), starting at the Shops at Starwood for drinks and then heading down to Ladies Night Out at ‘Neath the Wreath, the annual holiday bazaar of the Junior League of Plano. Of course, we’ll have a chauffeur — Savvy readers don’t drink and drive!

The Shiner Director of Brewing Operations will be at Zea Woodfire Grill on Thursday, October 29 to oversee a special dinner, with each course carefully paired with a Shiner “varietal.”

We love pretty much everything about the handcrafted, one-of-a-kind sterling charms made by Plano artist Jennifer Collins. Check out her online shop, The Vintage Chain.
