Where to Shop Right Now: New summer products, sales, and store openings

Alexandria Williams
Jun 11, 2017 | 3:29 pm

The sun is shining, flowers are blooming, and shopping is happening! Don’t get left behind without having summer’s must-have trends for the season. Where to Shop has you covered.

Model sunglasses
Supermodel Cindy Crawford's daughter, Kaia Gerber, is the centerpiece of the ad campaign for Miu Miu's new Scenique sunglasses. The sunglasses, which retail for $470 at the Miu Miu Galleria boutique, feature an oversized butterfly design, ultra-slim metal temples and a double bridge.

Summer Sale at à bientôt
This summer marks the 20th anniversary of the annual summer sidewalk sale at the River Oaks-area boutique, where chic, one-of-a-lined items are discounted at up to 80 percent. The sidewalk sale continues through June 30.

Under Armour at Katy Mills
The American sports and causal apparel powerhouse has landed at Katy Mills Mall. The 10,000 square-foot space features high-end joggers, high-impact socks, training sneakers, and various workout apparel for all ages.

Kendra Scott says “I Do”
Jewelry retailer Kendra Scott has decided to dabble in wedding jewelry, specifically engagement rings. This trendy jewelry designer is known for classic statement-making necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings to dress the woman on the go. Now she adds the 14k gold oval-shaped Isa engagement ring featuring custom-sized pave diamonds. Prices start at $650.

Francesca’s store opening boom
Fashion boutique Francesca’s has recently opened two new stores in the Houston area. The locations in The Galleria and River Oaks Shopping Center feature bright baubles, bold accessories, and playful gifts for birthdays or weddings at moderate prices.

Harry Winston remains timeless
The house of Harry Winston showcases its 2017 Basel novelty timepieces at the River Oaks District salon through June 19. The jeweler pays homage to New York — "the city that never sleeps" — by infusing some of its most iconic collections with a thoughtful Art Deco aesthetic.

John Varvatos artisan fragrances
If you are looking for a last minute Father’s Day gift, John Varvatos has you covered with an array of fragrances that will be befitting of any father on the go. Prices start at $89 and can be purchased at Macy's or online at johnvarvatos.com.

Personal styling at River Oaks District
River Oaks District guests can enjoy complimentary personal shopping and styling with the help of Lisa Powers of Stylepoint. The longtime styling expert will work onsite at the center's new styling studio, ​where she can pull key looks from various stores for customers to consider purchasing. Appointment requests can be made via personalshopping@riveroaksdistrict.com.

Designer Pop-Up Shop
Houston designer Preston Douglas will put on a one-day pop-up shop for his most recent menswear collection, titled "In The Face of Fear," on June 24 from 2 - 7 pm at TOMO Mags, 703 West Alabama. Douglas has been invited by Highsnobiety to show in the stylisth website's curated section at Capsule in Paris and New York.

Texas handbag brand Consuela debuts clear collection for stadium use

These bags fashionably comply with stadium rules.

Transparency is key for this new stadium-friendly product line by Austin handbag brand Consuela. The new line recreates the brand's top-selling silhouettes in a clear material that makes them easy to carry at venues with long security lines.

This is the first time Consuela has produced clear bags, press materials say.

It's certainly possible to pack any small bag and spend a minute on a security check at the gate, but if attendees want to carry more, sometimes venues require a clear bag; at Reliant Stadium, for example, a non-see-through bag can only be four-and-a-half inches by six-and-a-half inches or smaller.

Each clear Consuela bag has a bit of personality thanks to a printed, opaque strip of material across the top and a colorful strap that's interchangeable for different carrying styles: wearing the bag crossbody, on the shoulder, or as a clutch. Leather accents also elevate each piece, which contains interior pockets, a credit card holder, and a removable piece that gives the base structure or, when it's removed, allows the bag to collapse.

With three shapes and three patterns or colorways, there are nine distinct bags in the collection. The largest style is 11 inches by nine and a quarter inches, with a three-inch depth. Two smaller styles are more clutch-sized. The top material can show off a colorful paisley-like design, leopard print, or an understated cream leather to match the rest of the trim.

The new collection ($125-235) is available now at consuelastyle.com. Shoppers can also check the bags out in person at Consuela's Katy store at 23501 Cinco Ranch Boulevard. Other retailers selling Consuela bags can be found through the brand's store locator.
