MORE THAN 300 fashion-forward Houstonians excitedly gathered for a seasonal and sartorial tradition, the Spirit of Spring luncheon benefiting the Children's Assessment Center. The 22nd annual event was chaired by Lily Schnitzer with honorary chair Ursaline Hamilton, and was held at the Royal Sonesta.


Special guest Kaitlyn Urenda-Culpepper spoke to the crowd about her experience as a child sexual-abuse survivor, and how ongoing activism by CAC and others on behalf of survivors is being addressed in public policies. The fashion show followed, during which summer and fall looks from Elizabeth Anthony took to the runway. The featured designer was Alice Temperley of Temperley London, whose textured and feminine looks wowed the audience.

A handful of lucky guests ventured to the nearby boutique for a post-event Champagne reception and meet-and-greet with the designer, who brought with her a collection of one-of-a-kind pieces from "Alice's Archives." She also spoke about the Fall 2022 collection, which is inspired by the Wild West — think cowboys and country singers — but still features the classic silhouettes for which Temperley is known.

Consistent Focus on the Patient Is What Sets Montrose Med Spa Apart

Owner Maricela Olivo and Montrose Med Spa

WHAT MAKES MONTROSE Med Spa stand apart from the competition? We set ourselves apart from the competition by being consistently focused on one thing: the patient. With that focus, we will succeed in a successful and healthy experience and loyalty to Montrose Med Spa. Staying true to our message of intentional wellness is a point of difference where I see other spas being unclear and distracted in their direction. By listening to our patients, we ensure we meet and exceed their expectations. We continually stay on top of the market by offering the best innovative body sculpting and skin treatments that invigorate and energize and are specifically designed to restore balance and strength and renew youth to the body. We also utilize a number of marketing programs to stay on the minds of our guests, including radio, TV, direct mail, email blasts, and unique invitations for exclusive treatments. One element that helps to establish the bar and sets us apart from our competition is our emphasis on providing a complete medical gym experience—from the varied treatments with Emsculpt Neo to a personalized health and wellness and skin evaluation for each individual by our certified staff. We also provide a noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free facelift through EMFace in addition to offering monthly beauty memberships that create a commitment to the overall wellbeing of the patient.
