What does a fashion editor of a major publication do when she decides to get out of the rat race of journalism? Why, she goes shopping, of course! Jackie Bolin, formerly of Dallas Morning News, supported Bag Snob when most editors gagged at the word "blog" (along with the lovely Kristie Ramirez and David Ninh) and for that, we will always be grateful! Though we miss her at the paper, she can be found daily at her new store, V.O.D. One of the most tightly edited boutiques in town, V.O.D at Victory Park in Downtown Dallas is a slice of urban chic fashion heaven. You won't find the usual department store fare on the slick racks of this eclectic store--Jackie, along with co-owners Liz Thompson and Elizabeth O'Mahoney, offers only the most special and unique pieces for the low-key fashionista. Stop by the V.O.D boutique for the latest goodies; if you are in a fashion rut, who else to better help you with a new spring wardrobe than a former fashion editor!?!? Those who aren't lucky enough to live in the Lone Star State, call Jackie, and she'll ship you anything your greedy heart desires. 2418 Victory Park Ln. (214) 754-0644
Jump to read all about Belgian bag designer Diane Izzedin, exclusively at V.O.D in the United States!
Are you sick of logos and celeb endorsed "it" bags? Are you craving a truly unique, luxe handbag? Look no further than V.O.D boutique exclusive, Belgian designer, Diane (pronounce DEE AHN, as in Furstenberg) Izzedin. She has been crafting one-of-a-kind accessories from exotic skins and leathers for nearly a decade! Her slouchy, rock-and-roll snakeskin shoulder bags are her most sought-after designs. All the work is done completely by hand; some feature thick, metallic-leather, braided straps, which are super hip and functional.
The designer splits her time between Houston, Miami and Ibiza. Another interesting tidbit: Diane is also available by appointment to work with customers on creating custom bags -- she designed a giant, chocolate brown gym bag for a man in Houston and a python baby bag for a very cool new mom here in Dallas. Call Jackie to find out how to customize a Diane Izzedin bag for yourself!
Jackie's favorite style right now is vivid yellow and made completely from anaconda. The bags retail for $1,800 and are only available in the United States at Victory Park boutique V.O.D. (214) 754-0644

I've seen this boutique, but have never walked in. I will check it out the next time I go to Craft.
It is nice that you remember who helped you get to where you are today. :)

How great that there are nice boutiques in Dallas that don't carry the "Neiman Marcus" stock. lol
