For the Fashionista...
All The Wire is the brain-child of sisters Desiree Cox and Tori Gonzales (you're about to see her every week as Courtney Kerr's BFF on Courtney Loves Dallas). Now, you guys know I love a monogram with all my heart. My motto is, "If it ain't moving, monogram it!" All the Wire takes an edgy twist to the art of personalization. I mean, I am obsessed over this pocketknife necklace. It just gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "cut a bitch!". The company's website states "Our purpose is to share your stories through our stamped jewelry. We all have a story to share...what's yours?" Products are made from brass to keep the line affordable. The Double or Nothin' necklace pictured above is $37 and the Part of my Tribe Besties pocketknife necklace is $65 and comes with TWO knives (one brown and one white).

Dallas teen, Ashton Gillespie, has utilized her fashion-forward sense to create a stylish line of protective sun shirts for women to provide fashionable options for healthy skin.

SunKissed Girl’s line of active-wear clothing offers a chic choice for girls, teens and women seeking to protect their skin from the sun’s harmful rays. And, SunKissed Girl is offering more than a cute alternative for keeping skin healthy.
