Men’s Trend Alert! We asked Curtis from Men’s Downstairs at Halls Plaza for his style pick – and he showed us these amazing wood accessories.

Curtis is showing off a WeWOOD watch in the beige / brown dual tone style ($120). It is feather-light and fabulous. He is also wearing sunglasses from Waiting for the Sun, made in France and also made out of wood. Curtis is showing a style in Bamboo ($220).

WeWOOD partners with American Forests to plant one tree for every WeWOOD purchased. Most of the trees are planted in ecosystem restoration projects called Global ReLeaf Forests. Many of these areas have been damaged by natural or human causes. These trees help clean the air and water, filter polluted runoff, slow global warming and erosion, and provide habitat for wildlife.

And these are just hot!

Love these natural accessories? Love Curtis’s style? Stop in Downstairs at Halls and say hi!

Last weekend was DIFFA/KC’s annual Dining by Design event. DIFFA/KC supports the prevention of HIV and AIDS by funding education and awareness programs in Greater Kansas City. And Dining by Design is their largest and most long-standing fundraising event.

And it’s a lot of fun! Halls is proud to have been involved in this event for many years. Our visual team goes all out in designing its table each year.

This year’s table celebrated the Kansas City skyline, complete with an enormous banner depicting downtown. The photo was shot by longtime Halls collaborator, photographer Hollis Officer. It was then colored in a most Warhol-like fashion by our art director Jake Marshall.

And then our head of visual, Don Rogers, and his team set to work creating a modern and bold tablescape with bright corals, pinks, greens and yellows. The colors mirror the current fashion trends of bold, bright hues and color blocking. A perfect reflection of our spring 2012 store looks.
