    Where To Shop Right Now

    Where to shop right now: 10 must-hit stores for August with new openings and big sales

    As Houston fashionistas eagerly await the approach of fall weather and a wardrobe update, stay cool around town with these unique offerings and new stores.

    The Boardroom Salon For Men

    The Boardroom Salon for Men, which recently opened up a location at 2526 Rice Blvd., was created to provide a cool, comfortable, masculine place for men to get a great haircut, shave, facial or other spa service. The goal is to help men look and feel their best by combining exceptional hair, shave and spa options with outstanding service.

    Men can also relax with a game of pool or chess, while enjoying complimentary beverages.

    CrOp by David Peck

    It’s CrOp by David Peck’s end-of-season sale. Designer David Peck USA closes the season with a celebration, reducing classic CrOp styles to $99 & under.

    Deutsch & Deutsch

    The Deutsch & Deutsch tradition of hard work and ingenuity has been the driving force behind its evolution from a modest 1920s tourist shop in Mexico into its status as one of the most prominent jewelers in Texas and the entire United States. Which is why Ivanka Trump decided to unveil her newest collections inside the jeweler.

    The Journey — a series of fine jewelry reportedly inspired by Ivanka’s passion for travel, architecture and design — is directly influenced by her favorite locations around the globe.

    Eye Elegance

    The 3939 Montrose Boulevard strip center will be the new home of Eye Elegance, a family-owned and operated local boutique specializing in unique and well-made eyeglass and sunglass frames. Just about everything is done in-house, from taking prescriptions to cutting and tinting lenses to meticulously fitting frames to each client’s face.

    After 24 years in business, the last 15 in Highland Village, Eye Elegance is finally moving to a neighborhood just as eclectic as its eyewear.

    J. McLaughlin

    J.McLaughlin, the classic American clothing and accessories brand for women and men, is making its Texas debut in River Oaks Shopping Center. Think Ivy League, Upper East Side, classic style with a penchant for preppy Americana.

    Jonathan Blake

    Jonathan Tinkle — a 22-year-old Houston native — recently opened up a new atelier on Post Oak Blvd. Inspired by Chanel, Valentino and Versace, Jonathan Blake's designs are designed to be timelessly “wearable,” classic, and elegant for women of all ages.

    Prices start at $275 for blouses — and go up to $13,000 for evening dresses.

    Sizes range from 0 to 12, and prices start at $275 for blouses — and go up to $13,000 for evening dresses.

    L’Agent by L’Agent Provocateur

    L’Agent by Agent Provocateur, the new lingerie collection co-designed by Penelope and Monica Cruz, just launched in Nordstrom stores with unique fabrics, colors and construction.

    The line offers a relatively modest price point, with prices ranging from $30 to $154. The collection is available in select Nordstrom stores, including Nordstrom Houston Galleria, and on Nordstrom.com.

    Myth & Symbol

    Myth & Symbol, located on Times Boulevard in Rice Village, introduces French designer Vanessa Bruno to the shop this month. Don’t miss out on new items from Steven Alan, Black Crane and Satomi Kawakita Jewelry.

    Other new arrivals coming in this month include new collections from Samantha Pleet, Valentine Gauthier, Feral Childe.

    Silver Jeans

    Silver Jeans Co., the Canadian-based company that has earned a reputation for high quality and well-fitting jeans in the mid-luxury denim market, recently opened its first “loft” at The Woodlands Mall. The 1,960 square foot loft will feature the company's latest looks.

    The goal is to offer consumers a personalized approach to a full range of men’s and women’s signature denim fits and sportswear.

    Un Deux Trois

    This manufacturer and retailer of distinctive girls contemporary fashion clothing is relocating to Rice Village this month. A tween favorite headquartered in Los Angeles, Un Deux Trois proudly makes its clothes in the United States and is geared for girls age 7 through preteen.

    Irish retailer Primark brings discount clothing to first Houston store

    U.K. retailer Primark, brings its low priced, trend heavy fashion to the Houston market for the first time.

    European import Primark is finally landing in the Houston area. Shoppers will be able to score budget-friendly finds at Katy Mills Mall when the fast-fashion giant, known for leaning into trend-forward clothing, opens its doors on Thursday, November 20.

    The brand started in Dublin in 1969 under the name Penney's before switching to Primark to avoid competition with U.S. heavyweight J.C. Penny's as it expanded outside Ireland. Today, it operates in 11 countries with 470 stores worldwide, including over 175 in the United Kingdom. Its largest outpost in Birmingham is a massive 161,000 square feet covering five floors.

    While the store can't compete with the U.K. version's size, coming in at 30,000 square feet, the prices more than make up for it. Shoppers can expect women's denim starting at $12, men's t-shirts at $5, and kids' sweatshirts at $8. For about the price of a family meal at the food court, shoppers can pull together looks for the whole crew. In terms of quality, price, and style, its biggest competitors are H&M and Zara.

    The Katy opening is Primark's third Texas location, following McAllen and El Paso, and is part of the company's expansion across the United States. New stores are rolling out in Illinois and in Grapevine next month. In a statement, Primark U.S. President Kevin Tulip said, "These vibrant retail destinations in Texas reflect the incredible demand we're seeing across the country for affordability without sacrifice. As we continue to grow, we remain laser-focused on delivering unbeatable value and fashion that fits every family's lifestyle."

    To celebrate the grand opening, Primark will offer a weekend of fun, family-friendly activities, including live music, giveaways, and delicious treats for early-bird arrivals. Shoppers will find a full mix of women's and men's fashion, kids' clothing, accessories, homeware, and beauty once the doors open at Katy Mills on November 20.
