    SI in H-Town

    Sports Illustrated celebrates 2017 Swimsuit Issue with Simone Biles at H-Town festival

    Sports Illustrated has picked Houston to celebrate the launch of its 2017 Swimsuit issue with a music, food and culture festival next month.

    Labeled “VIBES” by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, the first-of its-kind event will take place at Post HTX, which was the site for last month's Day for Night Festival. The SI festival will feature live performances by Diplo and Miguel, a food festival curated by James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Shepherd and special appearances by Sports Illustrated swimsuit models.

    Among models in the new issue: Olympic Gold medalists Simone Biles and Aly Raisman. The two gymnasts were photographed for the magazine by James Macari in various Houston locations, including the North Houston Skate Park and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden.

    "Aly and Simone represent all that is beautiful and strong and inspiring in women today," said SI Swimsuit editor MJ Day. " I love seeing them shine in an entirely different way in the Swimsuit issue and being able to share these gorgeous and powerful images with the world. These women, their beauty, and what they can achieve know no limits."

    “VIBES” will kick off February 17 with a meet-and-greet with the models, a nighttime food festival featuring Underbelly's Shepherd, Terrence Gallivan and Seth Siegel Gardner of The Pass & Provisions, Uchi chef Tyson Cole, Georgia chef Hugh Acheson, and Chicago chef Graham Elliot. A VIP performance by Miguel will conclude the evening's festivities.

    The festival lineup continues February 18 with a concert featuring Houston musicians, followed by headliner Diplo.

    Tickets are available at SI.com/SwimsuitVibes. VIP All Access admission for both days is $250, VIP for one day is $150; general admission on February 18 is $35.

    The Houston event caps off the launch week of the 2017 Swimsuit edition. It will be revealed earlier in the week at live-streamed red-carpet launch party in New York.

    Kendra Scott’s new tarnish-resistant Ever collection makes it easy to wear 14K gold-filled jewelry every day.

    October ushers in a fresh set of fashion finds and shopping events around town. From a Brioni trunk show and a new Heights jewelry store to Saturday sip-and-shops and great excuses to buy everything from black diamonds to a new pair of boots.

    Here's what's new in Houston's shopping scene.

    Brioni
    Gents looking to refresh their fall wardrobe with custom clothing are invited to the Brioni Trunk Show, October 15-17 in River Oaks District. Brioni is known for its fine custom tailoring, and during the event, shoppers can explore a wide selection of fabrics.

    Cavender's
    Celebrate National Cowboy Boot Day on October 8 with a massive selection of boots at Cavender's, which has just expanded to include Texas-favorite Lane Boots. The newly dropped Lane collection includes several of their famed blue-bottomed beauties with snip toes and colors perfect for any occasion.

    Consuela
    Kicking off in October, Consuela's La Centerra location will host a weekly Sip & Shop series on Saturdays from 12-3 pm, featuring local DJs and free drinks from Perfect Pour Mobile Cart. Shoppers will also have the opportunity to receive free monogramming and embroidery services with the purchase of a Grab N’ Go bag every Sunday from 12:30-3:30 pm in October.

    Cotton Club Collection
    In addition to racks full of the latest fall drops, on October 1-2, Cotton Club Collection will host a trunk show of Sethi Couture's latest fine jewelry with an in-person appearance from co-founder Pratima Sethi. The brand's latest collection includes black diamonds and a dazzling selection of rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.

    Frank Darling
    Jewelry brand Frank Darling has officially opened its second Texas location in the Heights. The bungalow-turned-showroom offers an excellent alternative to the traditional jewelry shopping experience. Frank Darling offers a personalized approach to engagement rings and bespoke fine jewelry.

    Jubilee
    One of the most-shopped boutiques on 19th Street in the Heights, Jubilee is a one-stop shop for fall's latest clothing, accessories, shoes, fabulous tchotchkes, and home decor. Stock up on dresses, outerwear, PJs, and even better, the Jubilee carries plus sizes.

    Kendra Scott
    The Texas-based brand recently launched Ever, a new category of 14K yellow gold-filled jewelry designed for everyday use. The tarnish-resistant jewelry is water-resistant and sweat-resistant for 24/7 wear. Each piece features a thick layer of real 14K gold permanently bonded to a brass core, offering a longer-lasting alternative to traditional gold-plated jewelry.

    Miron Crosby
    Boot brand Miron Crosby is on a roll with new releases. The latest in its signature collection is the Maggie Honey Suede featuring a rich, golden honey suede with contrasting cream and lilac embroidery. Available at the brand's River Oaks store front, it is perfect for fall looks, offering a fresh take on classic Western style.

    Kick Pleat
    The Kirby Drive boutique has a distinct fall fashion point of view and recently launched its seasonal edit. The fall drop features brands including Tibi, Plan C, Proenza Schouler, Indress, and Sofie D'Hoore with pieces for layering and quirky accessories including fur heels and diamond collars.

    Pippa & Pearl
    Shoppers looking for one-of-a-kind looks for the office, bridal events, or celebrations will find plenty to love at Pippa & Pearl in M-K-T Heights. The latest collection features rich fall hues with lace, suede, and form-fitting silhouettes dominating the racks.

    South to North
    Specializing in introducing Latin brands to Houston shoppers, South to North has several new names at its Autry Park location, including Cala de la Cruz, Duma & Co., Aysha Bilgrami jewelry, and Sabandija, alongside new collections from Lanthropy, Laura Aparicio, and Texas favorite Montserrat Messeguer. Colombian luxury lifestyle brand Juan de Dios now also has its own curated corner in the boutique featuring new pieces from the brand's fall collection.
