    Popular Dallas blogger fashions chic summer collection with Nordstrom

    Stephanie Allmon Merry

    A new summer collection from Nordstrom looks decidedly Texas-chic, which is no accident given its Dallas connection.

    Cassie Freeman, who runs the popular Dallas-based lifestyle blog Hi Sugarplum!, has collaborated with Gibson on a limited-edition collection of women's apparel sold exclusively on Nordstrom.com.

    Freeman describes the collection as “pieces that feature bright colors and punchy prints, each with their own feminine detail. They're fun and flattering, and versatile enough to take you from the office to the beach.”

    They're also surprisingly affordable. Pieces range from $39 for a ruffled tank to $69 for a ruffle-trimmed dress.

    Have we mentioned ruffles? Yes, the line is full of flouncy, flirty details like ruffles, pleats, stripes, and florals. Those who are into goth need not click.

    The mix-and-match pieces also are wearable for many shapes and sizes — even XXS- and XL-petites.

    Standouts include a Maroma halter top available in hot pink, black, ocean-blue with white polka dot, and "coral floral;" a Monterey easy skirt with a draw string, which comes in black or "cool breeze floral;" and a super cute Captiva shorts romper, shown in black, black floral, or "bright floral" with a blue background.

    Freeman is a popular, longtime blogger who describes herself as "a style and decor-obsessed Texas girl and lover of travel, fashion, sarcasm and Mexican food." On Hi Sugarplum!, she blogs about her own style tips, travel recommendations, room makeovers, DIY projects, and more. As with any blog worth its words, readers can pin from her site and shop from her Instagram posts and Insta-stories.

    Los Angeles-based Gibson is known for designing casual pieces that can be dressed up or elevated items that can be dressed down. Versatility is key.

    Suzie Turner, founder of Gibson, says the brand started looking for influencers to collaborate with in early 2017 and liked what they saw on Freeman's blog.

    “We began working with a few who shared our brand identity of versatile, accessible style," she says. "We wanted to bring their personality to our brand in collections that would reflect their lifestyle. We found Cassie and knew immediately that a collaboration would be authentic to both brands.”

    For her part, Freeman says she was surprised and delighted that Gibson came calling.

    “I remember the day Suzie emailed me about 'a possible collaboration.' I thought she meant an Instagram campaign or some small sponsorship," she says. "So you can imagine my shock and excitement when I learned she actually meant an entire line of clothing based around my style. Since I was already a fan of Gibson, I couldn't say yes fast enough.”

    The collection, which will not be sold in stores, will be available online through the end of summer.

    A ruffle-trimmed dress is the most expensive piece, at $69.

    Dallas' once-a-year Salvation Army fashion show sale is a shopper must

    The actual sale will probably not be this color-coded.

    It's one of the hottest sales of the year and it's happening in Dallas on May 9-10: It's the After-Sale hosted by the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary, featuring designer clothing, shoes, and accessories at a highly discounted price.

    This annual event has been called one of Dallas’ best kept secrets: a designer warehouse sale featuring new and gently worn clothes from the city’s best dressed closets and local boutiques. Featured pieces include designers such as Carolina Herrera, Ulla Johnson, Marc Jacobs and more.

    It's part of the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary’s Fashion Show & Luncheon which since its inception in 1993 has raised more than $16 million for The Salvation Army of North Texas.

    This year’s Fashion Show & Luncheon took place on May 6 at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and included a seated lunch and runway show featuring designer labels donated from Dallas’ most admirable closets and boutiques. Patrons were able to shop from The Chic Boutique or purchase runway items through a silent auction, with proceeds supporting The Salvation Army.

    Dallas Women’s Auxiliary President Laura Downing and founding Emeritus Auxiliary member Margot Perot honored Nancy Dedman with the namesake Margot Perot Service Award. Millie Cooper, whose leadership and legacy have inspired countless women to service, was recognized as the Legacy Award recipient. The inaugural Love in Action Award was presented to Toni Turner for her commitment to making the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary and the Fashion Show & Luncheon a success.

    “Each year, the Fashion Show & Luncheon serves as a positive reminder of the immense generosity of our advocates, partners, and donors,” said Major Dawn McFarland, area commander of The Salvation Army of North Texas. “It’s truly special to see North Texans come together for such a remarkable event, all in the name of service. We invite those who were unable to attend to come out for our After Sale. Every dollar makes a difference, and what better way to show support than by sprucing up your wardrobe!”

    The Fashion Show After Sale will take place at 9216 Harry Hines Blvd. May 9-10, from 10 am-6 pm and feature gently and never-worn women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, as well as shoes, handbags, and accessories at discounted prices — donated from coveted closets and boutiques in North Texas.
