Dust off your credit card and hit these new locations and updated spaces.

    The popular bespoke Guayaberas brand has moved from a tiny space in Avalon Center to a much larger storefront on River Oaks Boulevard next to Abiento and Mariquita Masterson.

A large display of fabrics and threads await shoppers to design their own shirts from scratch with attention to every detail from pin tucks to pockets. 2503 River Oaks Boulevard

The Rice Village Saint Cloud store boasts whimsical and stand out clothing and accessories and architecturally inspired artisanal home goods. Taking major influence from the west coast, low key chic feel of its previous tenant, the new shop is a perfect combination of Brooke Feather and St. Cloud aesthetic, with such new labels as o include new labels such as Ulla Johnson, Ampersand as Apostrophe, and Mother.This lovechild is already proving to be a big hit for shoppers in the area. 2020 W. Gray

Developed in partnership with Google and Android, the watch is similar in design to the classic shape of the Tambour line of analog watches that have been sold since 2002. The digital revamp comes with several face options that can be switched at the click of a button and of course many different leather bands. With fancy features like up to date flight info and a City Guide with curated lists of hotels, restaurants and hotspots, its like a concierge on your wrist. Prices start at $2,450. 5085 Westheimer Road
