OBSESSIONS. DECORATION. SALIENT FACTS. A s many are uneasy about dining in a semi- crowded restaurant among servers wearing masks, social gatherings are moving outdoors these days. Cocktails in the garden or a dinner party on a well-appointed patio are the invites we covet. And what do we long to wear? A caftan or kimono fits the bill. Conjuring up visions of Yves Saint Laurent and Talitha Getty, they're the epitome of casual cool and perfect for concealing accentuated curves until you get back to your SoulCycle class. Just in time, former stylists Lindsey McClain, a Dallas native, and Jamie Coulter are presenting a pop-up of their wildly popular La Vie Style House at Market in Highland Park Village. Might we suggest a short caftan with leopard sequins for a safari feel, even though you're just poolside at a home on Strait Lane. When the sun goes down, channel your inner Deeda Blair in a metallic, brocaded full-length kimono. Whatever the occasion, throw one on, and you'll look party-picture ready.
