Kendra Scott's Next Move

Austin jewelry maven Kendra Scott expands her world with hot color scheme — for nails

Austin jewelry maven Kendra Scott has made a name with her bold baubles. Now the designer is making a splash in the beauty world with the new Kendra Scott Nail Lacquer collection. The collection, which debuted late last month, is inspired by what Scott knows best: gorgeous jewels.

“I am a jewelry designer at heart,” Scott says. “Inspired by the same beautiful, natural shades found in our gemstones and innovative jewelry treatments like iridescent shine and metallic shimmer, my team and I designed the next must-have accessory: nail lacquer.”

The collection features 23 shades, including a top coat and base coat. Bold signature shades like the popular Pink Agate are priced at $16, and drusy-inspired shades are $18.

Meticulously curated by Scott and her design team, the collection is quintessentially Kendra Scott: The crystal-shaped bottle design and eye-catching shades take nail art to a new level.

“I believe accessorizing shouldn’t stop at your jewelry,” Scott says. “We encourage our customers to mix and match, layer on our shades, and get creative. Nail art is becoming huge in the fashion world and I love seeing the fun, playful combinations our fans create.”

Some of Scott’s favorite shades? Iridescent Drusy, Blue Lapis, and Cool Iridescent Shimmer. The full collection is available at all Kendra Scott stores and online, and she hints at more choices in the future.

“I am constantly inspired by the evolving trends in fashion and am excited to create new, innovative seasonal shades of Kendra Scott Nail Lacquer,” Scott says. “I have always believed jewelry was just the beginning for Kendra Scott, and I’m thrilled to see how our brand will continue and grow with the coming seasons.”

Kendra Scott nail polish also is available at Austin's luxe nail bar LACQUER, which has a location downtown and will open a second location near the Domain this fall.

The Kendra Scott Nail Lacquer collection can be found at Kendra Scott locations and online.

Hundreds of shoppers lined up for the grand opening of the first-ever Lululemon x La La Land Kind Cafe store opening in Highland Village on December 19 .

Athleisure giant Lululemon is back where it all started. The brand has opened a massive new Houston store at Highland Village, returning to the shopping center that launched its Texas retail run in 2007. This time, however, it is not a small boutique. It is a full-scale flagship store with the first-ever La La Land Kind Café inside, giving Highland Village one more reason to draw a crowd.

The cult-favorite café serves exclusive drinks created just for this location, including a Double Chai Latte and Coconut Cloud Matcha. In-person shoppers can score drinks at 50 percent off through January 4 and via the app through January 16.

La La Land Kind Café also joins Lululemon’s Partner Perks program tied to Lululemon Membership, giving members access to select benefits. It makes it easier for shoppers who treat errands like a routine to use coffee as a delicious reward.

The new store is directly next door to the brand's first Texas outpost, which made Highland Village ground zero for Lululemon's growth in the state. At 9,400 square feet, the outpost is among Lululemon’s largest in the country. The space, previously owned by Smith & Wollensky, traded steaks for elevated sweat-sesh style.

Shoppers can expect a light, bright, and spacious shopping experience with a full range of products for both women and men. The store features branded apparel from the Lululemon x La La Land Kind Café collaboration, as well as a limited-time sweatshirt designed by local graffiti artist Donkeeboy, available as a gift with purchase (over $300, while supplies last). Adding to the local appeal, the store features a mural by Texas-based artist Kyle Steed.
