SOME OF THE city’s most fashionable femmes ushered in a new season at La Vie Style House in River Oaks District.


Brand founders Lindsey McClain and Jamie Coulter, along with a group of hostesses that included Marina Larroude, Sacha Fruchter and Stephanie Pilevsky, welcomed VIPs to their pretty-in-pink boutique touting a new spring line and exclusive Rodeo collection. Dallas-based La Vie Style House, known for its colorful, vintage-inspired, one-size-fits-all items like caftans and wraps, opened its second storefront (and first in Houston) in October.

Among those spotted shopping with pink cocktails in hand: Reagan Bregman, Elizabeth Swift Copeland, Frances Moody Buzbee, Sheridan Williams and Teressa Foglia, who just opened her own hat shop nearby in River Oaks District.

PER THE FABULOUS annual tradition, Cotton Holdings and its founder, Pete Bell, opened Rodeo season in lavish style with its VIP bash at the 50th Annual World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest, also known simply as “Cook-Off.” The food-and-drink-savvy festival-within-a-festival, which kicks off the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, draws cowboys and cowgirls in designer duds — think denim and diamonds and perfectly fitted Stetsons — for raucously good fun.

ALWAYS A STUNNING evening, Asia Society Texas' Tiger Ball celebrated the beauty and diversity of Asian culture. Gold-flecked tablescapes, plants and gowns ensured that the glam, tented affair was absolutely glimmering — just like Tiger Ball chairs Chinhui and Eddie Allen and Heidi and David Gerger, as the event raised an impressive $1.5 million for AST's efforts to build a more inclusive community in Houston.
