It got a little bit shadier in the Lone Star state thanks to Ilori. The sunglass boutique recently opened its first-ever Texas store in Dallas at the renowned NorthPark Center.

To celebrate, Ilori threw a grand opening celebration co-hosted by Dallas socialite Nancy Rogers and Ilori brand ambassador and celebrity stylist Jennifer Rade. Rogers co-hosted the event in support of the Elisa Project ( www.theelisaproject.org), a non-profit organization promoting healthy living and awareness of the signs of disordered eating through educational programs and resources.

The boutique donated $2,000, as well as 30 percent of the night’s proceeds to benefit the charity. Shown at the event are boutique manager Victoria Luna, with Nancy Rogers and Jennifer Rade.
