Breezy, bright and cool, CITYCENTRE's shops offer best of summer fashion

Summer styles in Houston lean toward breezy silhouettes, bright colors and the very freshest accessories. From juicy pops of tangerine to comfy wedges and sunnies for the brightest of days, CITYCENTRE boutiques are stocked with the very latest for day to night and all points in between.

Anthropologie's fashion sensibility mixes tailored, ladylike dresses and the floor-grazing maxis, ideal for cocktails at Monnalisa, Hotel Sorella’s European-inspired bar, or for listening to live music on the plaza. Color, prints and the unexpected detail are hallmarks of Anthropologie’s aesthetic. In the accessories department, look for chunky tribal pieces that stand out all on their own.

Free People's take on summer fashion is a bit more freewheeling with boho flow and rocker edge. The retailer’s view on warm weather is all about versatility, so the FP Beach collection combines soft separates that work well with denim shorts or long skirts for layered looks. Like to layer accessories too? Try the delicate Rosary Charms and Birthstone and Zodiac Symbol necklaces, ideal for cozying up to each other. Don’t forget your tresses this summer either. Free People’s selection of hair accessories ranges from barrettes to thread hair wraps, pumping up that pony in style.

J.Crew, CITYCENTRE’s latest fashion destination, adds casual elegance to summer wardrobes with stripes, polka dots and bright hues. Accessories go big at J.Crew with high shine bangle bracelets, cascading bubble necklaces and sparkling earrings. Scarves, sunglasses and belts add finishing touches thanks to bold colors and fresh textures.

For a look that says 'world traveler,' head to LMD Boutique in CITYCENTRE. The sophisticated spot offers a fresh take on summer with clothing and accessories that incorporates patterns, prints and detailing.

No look is complete with the right bag and shoes, and no one knows that better than Houston designer Elaine Turner. Her bright pink boutique in CITYCENTRE is an homage to tropical vacations, days by the pool, as well as the good life in general. Turner’s spring/summer collection includes ikat fabrics in blues and greens, metallic linens, the ever-popular cork and more vibrant color. Turner says she breaks her warm weather looks with eye-popping short caftans, pairing them with white denim. It’s an easy summer style that goes the distance.

Urban Outfitters in CITYCENTRE spins a fun summer look with jewelry that deserves a second look. The Spinner necklaces adorned with seemingly misplaced letters, spell “It Is What It Is” when spun and the stackable Initial rings are definite conversation starters. Hair jewelry such as Goddess Chain Headwraps elevate beachy locks with sparkle and shine. Urban Outfitters' summer look book is ideal for music festivals and afternoon picnics, offering easy-to-wear pieces made with comfort and a bit of cheekiness in mind.

All that glitters is gold, silver and just plain gorgeous at Paul Carter Jewels in CITYCENTRE. Leslie Green, Scott Kay, Yossi Harari and many other lines are among the exclusive jewelry designers found in the intimate store. From diamonds to timepieces, Paul Carter’s selection of jewelry balances timeless and modern seamlessly, especially with the arrival of Autore. The celeb-friendly line of innovative and breathtaking jewelry is a favorite of Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Hilary Swank and Cate Blanchett.
