ssTLKgmgBfvW7SewjnjQzBKQ4tskjZjlD6iCQSaWnUE

If your bachelorette party brings you to Dallas, Highland Park Village is the ideal place to spend the day (and night) shopping, primping and eating. With more than 60 boutiques and restaurants, plus the landmark Village Theater, there are plenty of things to do to keep your bridal party laughing and elebrating well through the weekend.Kick off Saturday morning with a leisurely brunch at international favorite Bistro 31. Once you’ve had your fill of mimosas and lemon-ricotta griddle cakes, head across the Village for some pampering at Frederic Fekkai.

When your blow out and nails have been perfected, mosey next door and check out the bridal section next door at Carolina Herrera. Already have the dresses crossed off your list? Peek insideour other fabulous shops for adorable items for the closet and home. When you’ve shopped until you’reready to drop, rest your feet in a booth at Mi Cocina and enjoy Mambo Taxis and fajitas with the girls, or catch a flick at the Village Theater. Once your movie lets out, enjoy drinks and sushi on the balcony next door at Toko V and take in the spectacular view of the Highland Park Village holiday lights. It will be a weekend you’re sure to remember!

1. stella wrubel

Young philanthropist and Park Cities resident Stella Wrubel is corralling her elves to ensure the Christmas season is merry and bright. Last December, Stella, an eight-year-old at Lamplighter, sold bundles of mistletoe to raise money for victims of Hurricane Sandy after she worried about her godfather’s safety.

This year Stella will be back again, but this time proceeds will benefit children who were affected by the tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma. Stella will set up shop in front of Five & Ten on Sundays in December and sell fresh bundles collected from her family farm. Highland Park Village is proud to support a young, budding philanthropist as she works toward her goal of raising $10,000!

Highland Park Village Montage: A Celebration of Art and Fashion

 

Highland Park Village Montage: A Celebration of Art and Fashion from Highland Park Village on Vimeo.

 

Thank you to everyone who made it out for Montage: A Celebration of Art and Fashion benefiting TACA at Highland Park Village on October 2nd.  We’re grateful to My Sweet Charity for this wonderful write up on the event we hosted with Town & Country.

“The next night, Montage: A Celebration of Art and Fashion started off in the HP Village Theater. Co-Chair Heather was joined by her sister/Co-Chair Elisa Summers and their husbands, Ray Washburne and Steve Summers.

To “kick off” the production, Jan Strimple had Dallas Youth Repertory Project dancers perform a song about TACA and the Dallas arts. So, that may not sound like a big deal, until you realize that while the youngsters were singing, they were also keeping tempo with clapping and stomping Jimmy Choos on the floor as they sang.”  - My Sweet Charity
