What: Artist appearance with William McLure

Where: Paloma & Co at the Cottages at Matt Camron

PC Moment: Paloma & Co founders Paloma Contreras and Devon Liedtke hosted their first party at their beautiful Upper Kirby home decor boutique. Charming artist/interior designer William McLure was in from Birmingham showing his moody abstracts in neutral hues. Guests and collectors sipped wine (“The rosé is proving to be extremely popular,” the bartender bemusedly remarked) and mingled while picking up a few home accessories and hostess gifts for summer travels.

Contreras and Liedtke decamped with a fun crew including husbands Fabian Contreras and Taylor Liedtke to Armandos after the fête for dinner and dancing — it was a Thursday, after all.
