At Dress for Success and Women of Wardrobe's annual Summer Soiree, generously hosted by Tootises, fashion-forward attendees dressed in pretty pastels, bold patterns and lots of ruffles — many designed by Houston's Hunter Bell, who showed off her fall line alongside jewelry by Claudia Lobao. Chairs Karishma Asrani, Courtney Campo, Allie Danziger and Melissa Sugulas welcomed guests to the event, which toasted the 20th anniversary of Dress for Success, and raised more than $20,000 for the org.
IN HEDWIG VILLAGE sits a newly completed masterpiece, the largest new-construction home to ever go up for sale in the Memorial Villages. At 17,369 square feet, 10950 Beinhorn, listed by Bryan Beene with Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty for just shy of $9M, is also the biggest new build currently on the market in all of Houston.
Designed by Jessica Lisenby of Legacy Development Group, the six-bedroom, stucco-and-brick home is located on a three-quarter-acre site on of Memorial's best-known streets. Hardwood floors throughout are arranged traditionally and in patterns like herringbone, and give way to gorgeously marbled floors in the kitchen and laundry room.
In the kitchen, custom two-toned cabinets and designer pendants add intrigue and texture. More custom cabinetry can be found in the owner's suite, where a two-story lounge and unbelievably large closet beckon. A guest suite also serves as another home within a home, complete with rain shower and kitchenette. A bonus and rarity in Houston: a fully finished attic, decked out with efficient and beautiful storage solutions.
Outside, a fully turfed lawn, modest pool and wood-trimmed covered patio set the scene for enjoying the outdoors any time of year. Other amenities include a Cummins Quiet Connect generator, an Inclinator Elevator, four Navien tankless water heaters, and a Trane HVAC system.

EVENT CHAIR ASHLEY Seal looked like a princess as she welcomed more than 500 guests to the Junior League's weekend-long Charity Ball fundraiser. Fitting, since the gala's theme was "Enchanted: An Evening Once Upon a Time."
The affair kicked off on Thursday night, with an intimate "Into the Woods" reception featuring dealing pianos and tunes courtesy of DJ Mohawk Steve. The party continued at the Junior League's Briar Oaks Lane venue on Friday, with dinner and a live performance by Radio Live, as well as Saturday, featuring five-piece Texas band Satellite.
Between not one but two Big Board auctions — contested items included vacations in Belize and Colorado, custom boots and jewelry, and shopping sprees — and a paddles-up segment, the Junior League of Houston certainly got its happily ever after: The Charity Ball raised more than $800,000 for the organization's 32-plus community projects and mentorship programs.
“Our Charity Ball would not be possible without the 40 women on the Charity Ball Committee who selflessly and tirelessly volunteered their time over the last 12 months," said League President Amanda Hanks Bayles in a statement. “We are so grateful to those who attended and supported this event! For every dollar raised, the Junior League of Houston is able to triple its value by pairing funding with trained volunteers.”
