Inside Jobs

A pair of parties toasted divine interior design. At West Ave, guests admired the sprawling new 10,000-square-foot Casa showroom, featuring fine Italian furniture, accessories and more.

Meanwhile, Louis Vuitton in the Galleria welcomed art and design lovers during a two-night viewing of its Objets Nomades limited-edition home décor collection.

Out to Lunch!

Springtime means it’s luncheon season in H-Town! The annual Hats in the Park event, chaired by Francine Ballard and Greggory Burk, was once again a glam slam, raising $400K for the Hermann Park Conservancy. ... The Christus Foundation for Healthcare welcomed Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, to speak at its spring lunch, which raised nearly a quarter-million dollars. ... And more than 200 supporters of the Children’s Museum gathered at the River Oaks Country Club for its Friends and Families lunch. Guests enjoyed fig-and-pecan-glazed chicken as keynote speaker Jennifer Arnold, best known as half of The Little Couple on TLC, gave a motivational message — and Sprinkles’ cupcakes to-go were a sweet parting gift.
