    Laguna Meets Lone Star State

    Reality TV star turned shoe designer shakes up Southlake at lively meet and greet

    Southlake Town Square was hoppin' recently when Kristin Cavallari stopped by Francesca’s for a meet and greet with fans in celebration of her new shoe collaboration with Chinese Laundry. The word had definitely spread around town, as the line to get a peek of this former MTV star was a mile long.

    DJ Sno White mixed tunes as Cavallari — even more lovely in person than on television — arrived to cheers and squeals from adoring fans. Despite her reputation as being a little, shall we say, feisty in her rolls on both Laguna Beach and The Hills, she was as kind as ever while person after person asked her the same questions.

    Before the meet-and-greet madness ensued, we snuck in to ask Cavallari a few questions about shoes, life as a new mommy and wife (married to Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler), as well as her plans to return to television.

    CultureMap: There a so many fashion ventures out there to choose from. What made you decide on a shoe line?

    Kristin Cavallari: I feel like for any girl it would be a dream come true to have a shoe line. I feel like shoes really complete every outfit or make or break an outfit, and I just have been wanting a shoe line forever. I have been working with an inspiration book that I have had since I was 19, so this has really been a dream come true for me.

    CM: Who is your shoe for? What is your target audience?

    KC: The on-the-go girl who wants to look and feel great but not spend a fortune.

    CM: How did your working with Chinese Laundry and, eventually, Francesca’s fall into place?

    KC: I have been working with Chinese Laundry for three years now, and I started to do fashion blogging for them. I told them that ultimately I wanted my own shoe line, and we both really enjoyed working with each other. Now, here I am with my fourth collection with them. As far a Francesca’s, Chinese Laundry has a great relationship with them, and I am a huge fan of the store. We have them in Chicago, so I am really excited.

    CM: How has your new role as both a mother and wife changed your career goals?

    KC: Being a mom and a wife, I would never now book an acting gig that would keep me in LA and away from my family. I still enjoy acting and have recently done The League and had fun with that. But with the shoes and my jewelry line, they have been perfect for me, because I can create my own hours and work from Chicago or Nashville or wherever we are.

    CM: Do you have any plans to return to television in the near future? Anything for “Team Kristin” to look forward to?

    KC: I am hosting E News on October 2, so you can check me out there.

    Dallas thrift chain Goodwill to open new location in former Big Lots

    A new destination for bargain hunters is coming to Carrollton: Goodwill Industries of Dallas will debut a new store at 3621 N. Josey Ln., in what was previously a Big Lots store. Still sad about losing Big Lots.

    According to a release, the new Goodwill will be a "state-of-the-art" store and donation drop-off center and will open on June 5.

    This store will be Goodwill Industries of Dallas' 19th location in its eight-county service area and will be a one-stop shop for affordable goods, including clothing, household items, and electronics.

    A donation drop-off center will feature a drive-thru and online receipt process. That online receipt process must be what makes it state-of-the-art. (That is only a guess since their PR team was unavailable for comment.)

    Goodwill President & CEO Tim Heis says in a statement that they're thrilled to open a second store in Carrollton, to support their ongoing reuse and recycling of donations as well as helping individuals be employed.

    "Every purchase made, and every item donated directly supports our free career training and job placement programs, making a tangible difference in the lives of many," Heis says.

    The new Carrollton store is specifically part of Goodwill Industries of Dallas, which has 19 locations including Mesquite, Irving, Plano, Garland, Frisco, Lewisville, Denton, and more.

    Goodwill Industries of Dallas has been operating since 1923, providing workforce development training, programs, and support services for individuals facing barriers to employment. It currently operates in eight counties across North Texas: Dallas, Ellis, Kaufman, Navarro, Rains, Rockwall, and parts of Collin and Denton counties.

    There is also a separate Goodwill North Central Texas, which is basically "Fort Worth" and has 27 locations of its own.
