Turtletique 4 recently held its grand opening after undergoing a massive remodel in its Inwood Village location. Owner Anne Marie Daniel says almost everything in the store has been upgraded — all new fixtures, hardwood floors, a new space for shoes, plus a coffee bar in the morning and an evening wine bar so customers can sip as they shop. On April 2, the store will host a makeup artist representing cosmetics line Jane Iredale to conduct makeovers from noon-3 p.m. Daniel says he has come to the shop before and the response was overwhelming, so the store invited him back. It will also host a jeans event April 8-9 benefitting Genesis Women’s Shelter. Customers are encouraged to bring gently used jeans in exchange for 25 percent off a new pair of jeans in the store. Also on Turtletique’s calendar are two trunk shows: the Starfire Jewelry show April 21-22 and the Laurel fall 2011 show April 28-29. 214.355.9393, turtletique.com, 5550 W. Lovers.
