    From home décor, beauty store openings, and collection launches, we have something for every shopper to indulge in this month. We figure since yu are doing a little spring cleaning, it is only fitting to replace those items with new shiny ones!

    Kate Spade Launches Wall Décor

    Kate Spade New York has debuted a collection of wall décor featuring an array of colors, photographs, patterns, and sayings that are sure to add a splash of sass to any living room, bedroom, or office wall. Wendover Art Group is the collaborator of the cheeky 60-plus piece collection. The flirty and trendy fashion brand already features home décor items such as rugs, bedding, lighting, and cookware. There are pieces that I am adding to my shopping cart to hang in my office as we speak. Prices range from $150-$1,495.

    Express Announces Karlie Kloss x Express Collection

    Supermodel Karlie Kloss has teamed up with Express to launch a limited-edition collection that features more than 100 looks for the fashion-forward woman on the go. The collection features an array of maxi dresses, embellished bomber jackets, and vibrant tees. "This collection is made for everyday women—the strong, dynamic, on-the-go achievers among us," said Kloss. The Karlie Kloss x Express Collection ranges in price from $24.90 - $168.00 and is available online at express.com and in stores.

    NYX Professional Makeup Grand Opening in Houston

    Matte lipstick and contouring has become just as important as the perfect peep-toed pump. To make your makeup needs even more accessible, NXY Professional Makeup has opened its fifth store in Texas at The Galleria, offering beauty shoppers an exclusive interactive makeup station featuring custom video tutorials, a trend-based Lip Bar, and Shadow Bar.

    NAMU SHOP Hosts Pop-up in Houston

    Houston based retailer NAMU SHOP will host a pop-up event on April 29 at Myth & Symbol located in Rice Village. The Japanese and Korean-inspired retailer is founded on the idea of regional modernism. The name echoes their timeless design that can be seen in an array of their pieces. NAMU SHOP is a creation of men’s and women’s clothing focused on casual yet refined styles for everyday wear.

    First Ever TOOTSIES Pop-Up Shop

    Luxury retailer Tootises has launched its first-ever pop-up shop located across the street from the West Ave flagship store. Tootsies Takes Off features exclusive labels and prices to entice the on-the-go tastemaker looking to make an impact on the Houston fashion scene. It's open Wednesday-Saturday from 11 am - 6 pm and Sunday from noon-5 p.m., and offers new selections each week. Labels like Diane von Furstenberg, Trina Turk, Lafayette 148 NY, Joie, and Alice + Olivia, are featured.

    Victoria Beckman for Target

    Designer Victoria Beckman has teamed up with Target to launch a capsule collection featuring over 200 items, including sizes for all body types as well as children’s apparel. The collection features floral prints, scalloped trimmed tops, and vibrant colors that are sure to catch any eye. As can be expected, certain looks were sold out within moments. However, the majority of all items remain available online and at various Target locations. Prices range from $25-$70.

    Topshop Takes On Bridal

    British fast-fashion retailer has launched a bridal collection, available online and at the Galleria store. It features five limited-edition bridal gowns, 25 bridesmaid dresses, and various pieces with ruffle, satin, and cap sleeve ascents. The gowns have an airy carefree vibe, while others have a more traditional flair in a range of pastel and nude shades. The collection also includes an assortment of shoes, hair accessories, and lingerie to complement all of the featured dresses. Prices range from $150-$1,500.

    Tommy Bahama Baseball Collection

    Island-inspired retailer Tommy Bahama has unveiled its 2017 Major League Baseball premium apparel collection, including camp shirts, dugout crewnecks, palm print polos, and league shirt styles in various styles available for all 30 teams. I already have my eye on a couple of Texas Rangers shirts to wear to Globe Life Park in Arlington. The line of officially licensed MLB apparel was introduced in 2009 with the launch of the first "Collector's Edition" shirt to celebrate the World Series, followed by the first collection of team shirts for the 2010 MLB season. Shirts range in price from $58- $158 with collectable MLB bandannas coming in at $32.

    Launch Pop-Up

    Houston First Corporation and fashion influencer Sydney Dao have extended the LAUNCH pop-up shop through the end of the year. LAUNCH showcases 10-12 local designers that will rotate each month. Located on the ground floor of Houston Partnership Tower at 701 Avenida De Las Americas in a 2,000-square-foot space, LAUNCH showcases 10-12 Houston designers, including Kimono Zulu, Purple Cactus, Steve Guthrie, and Katherine Zeren, whose designs rotate each month.

    In celebration of Earth Month, Kiehl's will donate $1 to Recycle Across America for every empty jar, bottle or tube from the natural skin products retailer brought to a Houston-area store. Spend $100 at a Kiehl’s retail stores or Kiehls.com through April 26 and receive a reusable water bottle filled with four deluxe samples of your choice. On Kiehls.com, enter code EARTH at checkout.

    Stepping up

    Texas bootmaker strikes a glossy note with the debut of new patent line

    Miron Crosby reimagines its signature Maggie boot in high-gloss patent leather for a polished update.

    Cowboy boots are based in tradition, but Miron Crosby continues to find ways to move the conversation forward. The Dallas-based label’s latest release, the Maggie Patent Collection, debuts a new material to its signature lineup while staying true to the workmanship that built its following.

    The brand’s best-selling Maggie boot is now available in a high-gloss patent leather. Although the new finish changes the silhouette's tone, delivering a more fashion-forward take on Western footwear, the boot’s structure remains the same.

    “Maggie is such a classic, flattering shape, so even when you introduce something like a patent, it still feels timeless at its core,” co-founder Sarah Means Ward tells CultureMap.

    When designing the boot, the sisters were careful not to lean into trends. They focused on letting the material enhance the boot rather than redefine it. “We wanted it to feel elevated and refined instead of overly flashy,” says Ward.

    Texas has strong roots and ideas about Western wear, and introducing patent leather into a heritage category can come with risks. The sisters approached the new collection with a respect for tradition as their foundation.

    “The craftsmanship, the construction, the way the boot fits and feels, those elements are non-negotiable,” Duplantis says. “From there, it’s about evolving the design in a way that still feels authentic.”

    The look was first tested in 2019 when Miron Crosby worked with Prabal Gurung on a limited run of patent boots for his runway show. That collaboration allowed Miron Crosby to explore new materials, something the brand has continued to build on. With Maggie Patent, that early concept was refined into a boot designed for daily wear, not just for the runway.

    “It showed us that something as unexpected as patent leather can feel completely natural in a Western silhouette when it’s approached thoughtfully,” says co-founder Lizzie Means Duplantis.

    The collection is available at their River Oaks boutique, in three colorways: Beurre, Sable, and Transformative Teal, which were influenced by materials seen at the 2025 Lineapelle show in Milan.

    “The patent leathers had this incredible richness that made us think about color in a different way,” Ward says.

    The sisters chose colors that were naturally approachable. Neutral tones like Beurre and Sable are great for everyday wear, while Transformative Teal offers a statement moment. “Some days (our customer) wants something understated, other days she wants something that stands out,” says Duplantis. “This was about giving her both.”
