‘The Perfect Dress’ by Cynthia Cazort Collins

 

Cynthia Cazort Collins, a former Texan, is creating beautiful satin dresses for any occasion. One of our favorites is The Perfect Dress, which is just that. It is structured to look amazing on almost all body types. Hand sewn in San Antonio (100% satin and dry clean only), the dress can actually be handmade in any fabric (based on your personal choosing) and goes easily from day to night. It’s also a perfect travel piece for her upcoming long-awaited trips.

She’ll be sleeping in style or just lounging in complete snuggly comfort. The button-front top with long sleeves and notch collar is paired with cozy pants with pockets and is perfect for Mom to wear day or night. $98

 IBKÜL Women’s Resort-Inspired Activewear

 

Not just for golfers… Help protect Mom in style from sun damage not just on Mother’s Day but all season long. (For Texas, read “all year long” thanks to the heat of the Lone Star State sun.) These true-to-size cute dresses from IBKÜL are perfect for brunch, tennis, golf, or simply going to the store or running errands. And, are some of our fave printed dresses for summer. We found they hit slightly above the knee, with the sleeve easily covering any “problem” areas on the arm.

The four flavors – Ranch Water, Vodka Soda, Gin Fizz and Classic Marg —  are all low in sugar and carbs, and only 150 calories per can. Plus, unlike hard seltzers, RancH2O uses real premium liquor.

One of the pleasures of publishing a lifestyle magazine like Texas Lifestyle Magazine is that we receive invitations to attend events, travel and review products. We accept and write about a small fraction of these offers, always with a view to what would be interesting or helpful to our readers. You may notice that our reviews are generally positive, which is because we don’t enjoy writing negative ones, and therefore choose only to write about the things we can recommend without reservation.
