Once it was just a pasture by a highway, now it's the Domain. If you haven't visited the new Neiman Marcus, it's decidedly fancier than said pasture, and the Texas Hill Country Wine and Food Festival kicks off its early festivities with a food and fashion event there this Thursday - Fashion Plates: Where Food & Fashion Connect.

Designs from Stella McCartney, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, Zac Posen and Eskander will be showcased, but our interest level is definitely leaning towards mojitos, champagne, Italian cocktails, and snacks from The Steeping Room, North, Jaspers, The Daily Grill and Viva Chocolato.

$75 per person. Call 512.249.6300 for tickets.
