ARRIVINGSPRING 2013 AT
THE VILLAGE AT FAIRVIEW!
SPRING 2013VILLAGE STYLE14
If you are like most of us, you look at
those trends coming from New York, Paris
and Milan and wonder how exactly are
you supposed to make them work for you
with the styles available in your local
stores, within your budget, and that work
with your lifestyle. For Spring 2013,
we’ll make it easy! With some help from
our friends at Buffalo Creek Cowgirls and
Versona Accessories, here are the top five
items you simply must have in your
wardrobe for Spring - Texas style:
Lace Top: Lace hasalways been
popular in Texas,
but for Spring
2013 it hit
runways world-
wide in a big way.
We love this taupe and mint lace top from
02 Collection. At & $99.00 its a piece
you can build your Spring wardrobe
around. Find this one - and other similar
styles - at Buffalo Creek Cowgirls, located
at The Village at Fairview.
Bold Stripes: Stripesare everywhere this
season, especially bold
ones in patterns like
a zig zag.
Staid pin stripes
just won’t do. This
A’reve mini (available in
two color choices) does the job and
keeps you cool in the warmer (okay
darned hot) Texas weather. Stop by and
see the gals at Buffalo Creek Cowgirls to
pick yours up - just $74.99.
Tip: You can also combine bold stripes
with another of the seasons hottest trends -
black and white - for an ultra stylish look.
Try vertical wide stripes or
stripes with multiple widths
and directions combined!
Sporty Dress: They’renot just for tennis
anymore - and they don’t
have to be boxy. Check
out this style from
Mechant, available for just
$107.99. The lace
makes it feminine while
the Sabrina neckline shows
off your shoulders. The
flirty skirt has a sporty shape,
but it’s pretty! This is the kind
of piece that you can build a
wardrobe around - pair it with
a jacket for work, wear it with
boots or with mix with sparkly flats for a
casual night out. And speaking of flats....
Flats & Low Heels: Move overskyscraper heels from
seasons past, flats and
low heels ruled the
runways at the Spring
fashion shows. In Texas
that means boots and flip
flops. Everyone in Texas
should have at least one
pair of boots - invest in
the right ones and they’ll last
for years to come. We love these red
and turquoise ones from Old Gringo -
Ah Spring! It signals the arrival of mild
weather, blooming flowers, and the latest
trends from the fashion capitols of the world.
Its the best time of year to add to your
wardrobe, especially in a warm weather
market like North Texas where Spring and
Summer fashions and accessories often
arrive in stores at the same time.

Buffalo

Cowgirls also carries a
great selection of flip flops - Texas style.
We love these flips with fringe and
crystals from Cowgirl Jewels - $44.99.
Buffalo Creek Cowgirls also carries
Yellow Box flips in a wide variety of
styles, so you can have the comfort of flip
flops that are so cute you really can wear
them anywhere!
Statement Sunglasses
& Necklaces: Don’t forgetthe accessories! This
Spring, accessories are truly statement
pieces. Sunglasses have fashionable
prints and fun new shapes for the lenses.
We love this wide-striped pair in orange
and pink (two of this season’s hot colors)
from Versona Accessories because of the
wide round lenses and curled side pieces -
and for the 100% UV protection.
Most styles start at just $7.99. You
can also make a statement this Spring
with necklaces, featuring bold colors,
chunky stones, and fun
patterns. Stop by
and visit the folks
at Versona
Accessories at The
Village at Fairview - they’ll help you pick
out the perfect pieces for your wardrobe
and sense of style.

Cowgirls and Kathy Miller, manager of Versona

SPRING 2013VILLAGE STYLE16
As the Spring semester gets underway
there is one thing on every young senior
student’s mind - and it isn’t SAT
prep…it’s PROM! Prom prep is another
right of passage and, for many, it is a
mother-daughter bonding moment as
they hit the stores, pause for lunch, and
giggle knowingly as they devise a plan
for keeping the receipt away from Dad.
Here are some tips for helping your
daughter have an amazing prom
shopping experience from the experts at
Terry Costa.
Fashion First
For many girls, their prom dress is their first
formal gown. It’s one of their first chances
to showcase their sense of style in a formal
setting and take their look to the next level.
The last thing any prom shopper wants to
face (Mom included) is the unexpected, so
its a good idea to have some basic
agreement about things like
best styles and budget
before hitting the shops.
Pre-Shop
By all means, do some pre-
shopping by checking out
styles and colors on the
web, but buyer beware. It is
not uncommon for web sites
that offer prom dresses to
accept your order and
payment without first
confirming they can actually
get the dress you love from
the designer in time. Most
of the time you won’t even
know there’s
a delay (or
worse,
cancellation)
until it is too
late to come
up with
“Plan B.”
Shop Early
We can’t say it enough: Start early!
Even as you read this, the smartest prom
shoppers are already hitting the shops
looking for the latest fashions, hottest
styles and most up to date colors. Prom
gowns are already on the shelves and
selling well so be sure to shop early and
avoid disappointment.
Shop Local
Stick to the local boutiques (like Terry
Costa) and enjoy the experience you can
only have in an actual store with actual
consultants sharing their real-world
expertise. You won’t be disappointed.
If you are fashion challenged and
frustrated with the gap between Mom’s
expectations and daughter’s wish list, an
experienced consultant can make all the
difference. Consultants are trained to
help you and your daughter find the
perfect dress for her and can often help
foster agreement between Mom and
daughter about what looks and fits best.
Take Time To Accessorize
The best way to take a gown from good
to gorgeous is to focus on the little things -
like shoes, jewelry and handbags. These
little details aren’t little at all and will take
your daughter’s look to the next level. The
best shops have accessories and shoes
right there in the store making one-stop
shopping a breeze. Don’t underestimate
the power of a knowledgeable consultant

with years of experience
dressing and accessorizing.
They’ll help you and your
daughter choose the
perfect pieces that will
complement the gown,
not compete with it
and achieve a look
that everyone will love.
Don’t Forget The Handbag
You should never send your daughter out
the door on prom night without a
handbag for all her necessities. So many
young ladies forget to choose a handbag
before they check out and end up
regretting it when prom night comes. All
the little necessities (lipstick, powder,
house key, phone, money...) add up.
Safety comes first and you want to be sure
your daughter has a comfortable and
stylish place for her phone, some
cash and her keys in case of an
emergency. Make sure that a
handbag that compliments the
gown is on your list so both you
and your daughter won’t have
to worry about a thing.
Don’t Forget About Alterations
Fit is everything when it comes to formal
wear. It can make or break the look with
just a quick stitch. Does the gown have
a train? Ask your fit expert about adding
a bustle - this simple fix will keep the
train off the floor when it’s time to dance
the night away! Tightening loose straps
will prevent your daughter from tugging
on her top all night long (not a good
look) and a hem is a must-have for petite
girls! Don’t underestimate the power of
a well-fit gown. Budget it into the final
price and make the look prom perfect.
Prom Night
When it’s time to get dressed, have your
daughter put her gown on before she
straps on heels and accessorizes. This
way she won’t snag the gown with
beautiful bangles or leave a big footprint
(or put a hole) on the hemline. Tell her
to step into the gown feet first (barefoot)
so she doesn’t have to worry about
smearing makeup or deodorant on it.
Have her wear a button-down shirt for
hair and makeup and she won’t have to
pull anything over her head,
endangering her ‘do! You’ve worked
hard together to get to this point so enjoy
every moment - and take lots of pictures!

NAME: Brandi Breaux
OCCUPATION: Owner/Baker -
Bliss Cupcakes & Confections
HOW MANY YEARS AT THE
VILLAGE AT ALLEN: 1.5 - Bliss
opened November 2011.
FUN FACT: Brandi is the
mother of TRIPLETS, born in
July 2012.
WHEN DID YOU BECOME
INTERESTED IN BAKING?
Twelve years ago, I was
planning a bridal shower for a
friend. I knew then that I
wanted to open my own
baking business. My passion
for entertaining and hosting
parties led me to baking and I
realized that I could take cake
to another level by using my
imagination. I took courses
and decorating classes over the
years to learn how to translate
my creativity in to cakes - and
now cupcakes.
WHY CUPCAKES? I baked
and made cakes for events and
birthdays and everyone always
wanted me to make cakes for
them. When cupcakes became
a big hit, I tried them at a lot of
places and decided that if they
could do it, I could do it!
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE
CUPCAKE? Do I have to pick
one? It’s ever changing.
Today, I would say the
Cinnamon Twist. It is often
overlooked by the traditional
classics but its such an amazing
cupcake.
WHAT OTHER TREATS DOES
BLISS OFFER? We also offer
cakes, which are a huge
passion of mine, as well as
cake pops and parfaits.
Find Brandi at Bliss Cupcakes
& Confections at The Village at
Allen just across from The
Grove. Be sure to ask about
special seasonal flavors as well

Cupcake” birthday parties!
