VACATION DREAMING? COME for the fashion and stay for the cocktails on the pool deck May 23 as Hotel ZaZa Memorial City toasts the summer travel season. Local travel brand Foreign Fare will showcase its newest colorways with must-have looks for summer to get you jet set ready.
Still-new apparel line Foreign Fare is the brainchild of Thy and Matt Mitchell who own globally inspired restaurant Traveler’s Table. Avid travelers themselves, they aspire to create a travel wardrobe that is stylish, functional and versatile. Hotel ZaZa’s Sip and See fashion show will feature the latest styles while guests enjoy light bites and specialty cocktails provided by Traveler’s Table restaurant and Hotel ZaZa’s Tipping Point Restaurant & Terrace.
The hotel event will take place from 6-8pm at The Beach Club. Ticket sales ($45) will benefit Dress for Success Houston, a nonprofit organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, and development tools to help them thrive in work and in life.
Seeking dinner after the soiree? Stay for ZaZa’s Tipping Point burger month specials including vegan and gluten-free options. Top your ground brisket cheeseburger served on buttery brioche with crispy bacon, avocado or a fried egg – or all three!
There’s more summer fun on tap at the hotel. Thursdays are for the cocktail connoisseurs with Flight Night – curated flights of classics like old fashioneds, margaritas, or martinis. Friday night brings Sips at Sundown: unwind at the Beach Club poolside with a refreshing cocktail accompanied by the beats of a live DJ. Each week brings a new theme such as its first Summer Saturday, May 18, when the hotel celebrates all things Patron tequila.

THE ARTS OF Healing organization has grown tremendously over the past few years, and this spring, Tootsies hosted a crowd of 300-plus for a charitable style show featuring 20 influential physicians and medical professionals.
The models were selected not only for their contributions in their field, but also for the ways in which they connect with their community. The beautiful ladies strutting their stuff included surgeons Tamara Saunders, Christy Moeller, Victoria Chang, Kelly Bree, Mara Antonoff, Kristy Hamilton, Sanaz Harirchian and Abigail Rodriguez; cardiologists Tim Pham and Brit Owen; anethesiologists Emily Peterson and Tiffany Su; family medicine practitioners Gabrielle Lyon and Monica Kalra; healthcare strategists Paola Alvarez-Malo and Alex Colver Brock; gastroenterologist Chami Amaratungee; gynecologic oncologist Anne Busisiwe Alaniz; researcher Livia Schiavinato Eberlin; and philanthropist and CEO Jessica Hatch Farrokhza.
Tootsies’ creative director Fady Armanious hand selected outfits for each of the models, and the crowd applauded and cheered them on as they took to the catwalk.
“Through medicine, art, creativity and community, we impact physicians’ and patients’ lives,” said Arts of Healing executive director Kristen Collins, who coordinates other events including a fall art show and gala, and a summer art camp for pediatric cancer patients. “We specifically design outlets and events for creativity and connection for the physicians, as well as patients.”
