RTW: Lady in Red

You've met Katherine first when she picked out the perfect attire for holiday gatherings (if you missed it, go here and read all about our favorite Neiman Marcus gal). Well, she's back and brimming with fantastic ideas for what to wear on the night that you really, really want to go out with the Mr. or really, really just want to hang out with the girls. Yep, we're talking about Valentine's Day. 

Dear Katherine,

What on earth to wear for the most dreadful wonderful night of the year? 



 1. Whilst red may not be original, it's ALWAYS romantic. For a big night, try some serious structure that will inspire you to carry yourself with an air of confidence.
J. Mendel / Alexander McQueen / Herver Leger

2. Be fun and flirty for a night out on the town with the girls. 
Aidan Mattox

3. Keep it all under wraps and spark and air of mystery.
Alice by Temperley

4. The last look should be as good as the first. Pick a dress with a beautiful back to make sure you leave just as gracefully as you entered.  
Clockwise from top center:  Zac Posen front and back /  Kay Unger New York front and back / ML Monique Lhuillier front and back

Lovely lace for a feminine, flirty look.
1. Jimmy Choo 
2. Valentino Couture

Sexy studs for the modern stilleto. Too tough? Ruffles always win.
3. Valentino Rockstud
4. Lanvin

Shine bright like a diamond. ; )
5. Jimmy Choo
6. Rena Caovilla

What's Haute: The Hostess with the Mostess

With only two weeks until Christmas, there will be parties for hosting and happy meetings when friends come to call. Which begs the question, what to wear? Cue our dear friend Katherine Heidt, personal shopper extraordinaire at the Neiman Marcus flagship store downtown. With her brilliant sense of humor and style, it will take two minutes tops before you love her as much as we do. Plus, she has her pulse set on Dallas style. You can go in and say, "Well, I want something glamorous but not over-the-top...maybe lace...or how about leather?" or some kind of sputtering nonsense, and she will pull out the perfect dress in no time. Give her a season or a brand and she'll give you the best look; text her an image of the blouse you saw yesterday and she'll have one waiting for you that no one has seen; show her what purse you want and she'll let you know if it's timeless or a trend. Really, people. Katherine is a wealth of information. Whether you want to stand out or beautifully blend into the stealthy smart dressers of stylish Dallas, Katherine is your gal. Herewith, her picks for smart hostess and guest attire for the holidays.
