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.

ON JAN. 3, 2025, I observed a big personal anniversary. As of that day, it’d been 20 years since I first moved to Houston — from the Big Apple media circus, by way of my home state of Louisiana — and began working as an editor in the lifestyle-magazine biz here. It’s been two full decades, which is hard to believe! I like to joke that I’m far too young and good-looking to have done anything for two decades. But here we are.

ONE OF HOUSTON'S favorite theater makers — Alley Associate Artistic Director Brandon Weinbrenner — has gotten some delicious news about his latest show. The run of his Seared, a sometimes-funny and sometimes-intense tale of life in the kitchen at a suddenly hot New York restaurant by playright Theresa Rebeck, has been extended beyond its original schedule and will now be up through March 9.
