June’s Third Thursday Jazz Series Features the Pamela York Quartet | Thursday, June 19 ~ 6:30PM
Pianist Pamela York and her quartet explore the jazz possibilities of timeless, traditional spiritual music at the June 19th series performance. The quartet will feature saxophonist Shelley Carrol.
Sheldon Nunn of JazzReview.com describes Pamela York as “…the ultimate pianist. Her performance set a precedent for what was to become one of the finest displays of pure jazz…Pamela has a subtle style about her, yet she is able to draw her audiences in with each melodic note. Her touch on the keys is light and effortless, yet she is able to convey her message with a voice and style that is uniquely hers. While playing tunes made famous by some of the legendary masters, Pamela York makes her own statement without being a pretender.”

The Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Sale opens its doors this Saturday with a really HOT FLASH SALE that you won’t want to miss! ALL bottoms — pants, jeans, & shorts — are only $12 each or 3 for $30 — Saturday, June 21st only.
Here’s the inside scoop…
If you thought the last Sharon Young & Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Sale was great (we certainly did!), you really won’t want to miss their 1-day, $12 Flash Sale — this Saturday, June 21st.
:: All bottoms are $12/each — or even better, buy 3 for $30! You’ll find a full range of styles and colors of jeans, crops, shorts, and fashion pants at incredible prices — These are VERY rare bargain prices for this level of quality clothing!
:: There is a nice variety of sizes to fit and flatter, too. Sizes cover 2-18 including Missy, Petite and Women’s Plus sizes. There are sizes to fit just about anyone.
:: You will see rows of gorgeous embellished Tru Luxe jeans, cropped jeans, and shorts in a crayon box of colors and styles. There are over 2,000 pieces in this sale at up to 90% off retail
:: While this is mainly a Tru Luxe brand sale, you’ll also find several other brands that are carried in high-end department stores and fashion boutiques — designer fashions from Sharon Young, City Girl, Multiples, A La Carte, and more.
1.) You’ll want to arrive early on Saturday (June 21 at 8:00am) to get the best selection. There will likely be a line outside the sale door.
2.) Buy some Tru Luxe Jeans. These normally start at $98 retail — finding these for $10 to $12 is an amazing deal! At this price, you can even buy 2 of the same pair and have one hemmed into crops or shorts for a summer length — or just roll them up like the picture above!
3.) At 3 for $30, everything is a bargain, and it will be hard to choose. That said, be sure to also look for pants with a Slim-sation tag — these are our new favorite dress casual pants. They have a nice cut and a little inside tummy smoothing panel that make you look a size smaller (yes, please!).
4.) P.S. Save the date for the next Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse sale — July 31-August 2. It’s going to be HUGE!
I hope you are able to make it over to the sale to grab some great bargains! Here’s the information you’ll need, in a nutshell…
When: Saturday June 21, 2014 ~ 8:00AM to 3:00PM
Where: 10367 Brockwood Rd ~ Dallas. You’ll see signs directing you where to go (or just follow all the ladies you will see!).
Do note: There is a large dressing room provided for trying on all your finds, but typical of women’s fashion warehouse sales, it is ladies only and not private. Since this is a women only event, husbands, guy-friends and kiddos under 12, please stay comfortable at home.
Enjoy and Share! :)
