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.

Leadership in Action: Clothiers Murry and Karen Penner Celebrate Family Business’ 50-Year Anny

Murry & Karen Penner, Owners, M PENNER

How did you get where you are today? We’ve stayed true to the vision of the store’s founder, Morris Penner, who relentlessly sought out unique product, with exceptional quality being a key element. Morris always used to say, “The fastest way to lose a customer is to bore him” and we agree. A percentage of every season’s budget is allocated to something new and unique. While product is key, it’s not enough. Having an excellent staff and discipline in business practices is also critical.
