E ven though fall is still a month away (in theory), our August issue required our editors to research, e-mail and telephone countless sources to get a bead on what is hot for the season, aside from the weather. Re-Entrée, a French term meaning to re-enter the social season after the summer sojourn, is our degustation of 59 important things you must see, do, hear, eat and gaze at … peruse pages 22 to 25. As for me, my top picks include: following the River Oaks District rumor mill (or, as PC's Kate Stukenberg calls it, Rumor Oaks District) of designer names and national restaurants purportedly moving in; seeing the Tom Ford boutique and eating at Le Bilboquet in Dallas (both Holly Moore of which will be coming to River Oaks District in Fall 2014); The Orange Show (November 2), which Molly Hubbard and I are chairing; fall book signings with Mario Buatta, Stephen Sills, Tom Scheerer, Celerie Kemble, Jeffrey Alan Marks and Suzanne Kasler; Houston Fine Art Fair (September 19 through 22) and Texas Contemporary Art Fair (October 10 through 13); and culminating with Ceron and Todd Fiscus' New Year's Eve wedding in a delicious far-flung locale. Then we rest. I love the aesthetic of mixing highlow, expensive-inexpensive, old-new. Our editors do it beautifully in home design (a mid-century modern house with a Louis chair or two thrown in) and in fashion (a Versace skirt with a top from H&M). It happens in travel, too. I recently spent a couple weeks in West Texas with the kids (well, two out of three kids): Alpine, Terlingua, Big Bend, Lajitas and Marfa. It was hot. In the mornings, we hiked and rode horses and, in the afternoon, spent a lot of time in pools. We drove and drove and drove. We watched the Fourth of July parade in Terlingua that consisted of the sheriff, border patrol agents and locals on horseback and bicycles carrying flags and acting goofy (I like goofy). After the parade — in the evening — I manned a bucket brigade to put out two fires that erupted in front and in back of the Starlight Lounge when the fireworks launcher tipped over. Marfa was the highlight: My heart literally started racing when I saw it on the horizon.

(I've been feeling inadequate that I never made the journey — but no more!) The trip was good-ole Texas at its best — hot, dusty, native … and outstanding. Now, off to Eastern Europe for two weeks. (Can you say polar opposite?) This is Zuzana's birthplace and my ancestral homeland. It will be Prague, Mozart and haute Bohemianism. Oh, yes, I like dichotomies. There was a mythical Greek God named Hermes, Ancient Greek Sandals' Gladiator and he didn't make handbags or H belts. The son of sandals for Marios Schwab, $390 Zeus, he wore winged sandals as a messenger of the Gods and zipped between the worlds of the mortal and divine. Shoe designer Christina Martini and her aptly named Ancient Greek Sandals has re-envisioned Hermes' flying footwear with handmade leather winged designs for mortals (man, woman and child), especially striking in metallic. Or strap on the spectacular gladiator sandals from the Marios Schwab collaboration, and get in that arena where you belong.
