If there's one thing you should know about my great city, it's that Dallas is a city that loves to shop. There's a nonstop round of society events in the works, celebrity appearances, famous athletes, benevolent billionaires and all-around fabulous people to mix and mingle with nightly. Because of this, fashion is and always will be key to the city's bustling social scene.

Thankfully, there are always fabulous sales and trunk shows helping you look your best and still maintain the required minimum balance in your bank account.

One "not to be missed" event is the FIG (that's Fashion Industry Gallery) Finale sale, which only happens twice each year. Imagine having access to Gucci at 75% off. That's right. Gucci. Serious shoppers will want to opt for the VIP package. For $50 you'll be granted early access to the sale at a private party, complimentary cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, live dj spun tunes and complimentary valet parking. First dibs on luxury loot and a night of festivities, not a bad bargain if you ask me!
