The best part of the exclusive shopping at the Domain would have to be the after-hour events. With a new lineup of heavy hitters such as David Yurman, Louis Vuitton, Neiman Marcus and Michael Kors, the Domain offers a shopping wonderland, perfect for the girl ready to build her wardrobe one investment piece at a time.

What: David Yurman celebrates the opening of the new Austin boutique benefiting Austin City Limits. Yurman partnered with KLRU-TV, Austin PBS to inaugurate its newest Texas location. As a special gift, the David and Sybil Yurman Humanitarian & Arts Foundation provided a contribution to KLRU's Austin City Limits, and donated 10% of all proceeds from the boutique's opening event to the organization as well. The partnership with KLRU is in keeping with the artistic spirit and community of Austin.

Hosting an evening of cocktails and hors d'oeuvres was Austin City Limits Committee members: Anne Nash, Ray Eve Mason, O'Kelley Higdon, Megan Maund and Carter Craig.

WHEN: Thursday, June 7th, 7-9 PM

WHERE: David Yurman Boutique, The Domain, 11600 Century Oaks Terrace

The Fifth Annual Dennis Quaid Charity Weekend Event, "Lights, Camera, Fashion!5" was a great step forward for Austin style.

The show began with an opening introduction from actor, Dennis Quaid. He explained his involvement and support of selected local charities: Austin's Children Shelter, Any Baby Can and the International Hospital for Children.

The night quickly progressed with a hip-hop performance. Some would call it an icebreaker; Others may call it random. Regardless, it added a unique start to the high-energy show highlighting twelve looks from Nicole Miller, twelve looks from Vivienne Westwood, ten looks from Ted Baker and the exclusive preview of sample pieces from Emanuel Ungaro.

The show was really entertaining to watch and the crowd participation was over the top. A group of men flanking the runway gave standing ovations for certain looks, then not to be outdone, an equally excited group of women followed suit. The responsive and rowdy celebrity crowd quickly reminded me that we do things a bit differently in Texas. There's nothing like sitting next to Chuck Woolery as you Hoot and Holler for a hottie in an outstanding Emanuel Ungaro suit.

on the heel: Metallic T-bar sandals Marc Jacobs -- with a brass zippper on the T-bar, a peep toe and an ankle strap with an elasticated panel, the designer's packed three hot trends into one hot pair of heels.

on the radar: One piece. I love the red and light blue piping on this one-piece from American Apparel. It should be easy enough to match with a sporty skirt or pair of white jeans. A little bit retro, a little bit Latin-inspired, a lotta bit fabulous.

on the playlist: 'Canyons,' by Julia Othmer.

on the reading list: Shopaholic & Baby by Sophie Kinsella. What? She has a baby now. As a single girl, I feel so left behind.
