Hot on the heels of the high profile grand opening of Club Monaco in the West Village comes yet another much-anticipated debut. On September 30th, the Uptown shopping center will welcome Austin-based jewelry designer Kendra Scott.

Kendra Scott is developing a reputation in the fashion world for making stylish jewelry priced for every woman. Her flagship store, located on trendy South Congress in Austin, attracted bold-face names like Luke Wilson for its grand opening celebration in February. What’s more, celebrities including Paris Hilton (seen below in the “Ava” necklace, $170), Michelle Trachtenberg, and Hilary Duff have been spotted wearing her designs.

Following the August 13th opening of a boutique in Beverly Hills, Scott’s West Village store will open on September 30th. In addition to showcasing the designer’s ready-to-wear items, DFW Style Daily has learned that the new spot will contain a “Color Bar”. This signature Kendra Scott feature enables creative shoppers to customize jewelry pieces with gems in a wide spectrum of colors.

We’ll keep you posted on details as they become available. For more information on Kendra Scott and to view the entire collection, visit www.kendrascott.com.
