    Texas-based JC Penney's stretchy new clothing line is super COVID-friendly

    Plano-based JCPenney may have suffered some setbacks due to the coronavirus, but the retailer is giving back with a new line tailor-made for COVID-19 times.

    Called the Stylus brand, it's a super-comfy-looking line for women that a release says is designed to "comfortably elevate your everyday" by promoting style and comfort in equal parts. We are talking jersey, elastic waistbands, no buttons, and definitely nothing you need to iron.

    Part of a new Styleisure apparel line, Stylus is about dressing effortlessly with comfort and style. It is, however, not to be confused with athletic wear. It's stretchy, but not that stretchy.

    The line includes cardigans, easy pants, jumpsuits, and tees that you can mix and match to transition for day or night. They say it can be worn while:

    • working from home or in the office
    • shopping
    • preparing for the holiday season
    • virtually getting together with friends and family

    The color palette is neutral. Design details include tapered legs, curved hems, and twist-front tops.

    JCP VP Michelle Wlazlos says in a statement that they wanted to launch it in time for the 2020 holiday season.

    "We began developing the concept of our styleisure line nearly a year ago to fill this unmet need as customers dress for their day," Wlazlos says. "Everything we do is with our customers at the forefront – we want our customers to feel and know they’re represented."

    That includes inclusive sizing. "Size should never be a deterrent to style or the ability to feel empowered, confident, and comfortable," she says.

    Sizes range from XS to 3X, priced from $26 to $89 across all sizes.

    The introduction of the Stylus brand follows the repositioning and launch of several exclusive JCPenney brands in 2020, including Linden Street, which are offered alongside a national brands such as Nike, Adidas, Champion, Levi's, Puma, Clarks, Cuisinart, Sharper Image, Disney, Lego, Mattel, and more.

    The brand is now available in 394 stores nationwide and on the JCPenney app and flagship store, jcp.com.

    SERENE STAYCATION

    Slow down and recharge with wellness specials at these 7 Houston hotels

    Houston hotels are celebrating National Wellness Month with spa escapes, sleep-focused suites, rooftop wellness events, and relaxing staycations.

    It is time to trade the packed weekend itinerary for a plush hotel robe and slippers during National Wellness Month. Houston hotels are putting a wellness spin on their offerings with sleep-focused suites, spa escapes, rooftop sound baths, and even astrology-inspired happy hours. These local getaways will make self-care feel like a mini vacation without ever leaving the city.

    Hotel Granduca
    Spa enthusiasts enjoying a staycation immersed in Hotel Granduca's Italian charm can add a touch of France to their stay with a treatment at Biologique Recherche, the hotel's preferred spa partner. Customers will receive complimentary transportation to the River Oaks District spa and a 30-minute extension on their services, which can be booked at the hotel's front desk.

    Hotel Saint Augustine
    Steps away from the Menil Collection and Rothko Chapel, at Hotel Saint Augustine, Perseid is putting a cosmic spin on happy hour through August 24. During nightly Wishing Hours from 8-11:11 pm, the restaurant serves astrology-inspired cocktails inspired by the Perseids meteor shower, which peaks in mid-August and lights up the sky with 50 to 100 meteors an hour. Guests can also write down a hope, dream, or wish on a handmade card before calling it a night. It's equal parts cocktail hour and manifestation session.

    InterContinental Houston
    Need to hit the reset button? The newest Pure Wellness Rooms at this hotel near NRG Stadium and Texas Medical Center are a spa day disguised as a hotel stay. The rooms include medical-grade air purification that captures 99.9 percent of airborne particles, hypoallergenic luxury bedding, and a vitamin-infused shower. Hotel guests can also score extra perks, including late checkout, in-room yoga mats, sleep eye masks, and two freshly blended smoothies each day.

    Marriott Marquis Houston
    This downtown hotspot might be known for its Texas-shaped pool, but in August, it offers a host of mind-and-body experiences. Pure Spa, the hotel's onsite spa, is offering its newest treatment, red light therapy, designed to support relaxation, circulation, and skin vitality. Guests can also enjoy a one-hour guided sound bath, complete with an aroma journey and wellness tea at the hotel's rooftop infinity pool.

    Omni Houston Hotel
    Sometimes setting the phone to Do Not Disturb is the best self-care, and Mokara Spa at the Omni Houston Hotel makes it easy with the 100-minute Tech-Free Tranquility package. The experience includes the spa's signature massage and facial, along with time to unwind in the dry sauna or plunge jacuzzi. The package also includes valet parking plus access to the hotel's fitness center and pools.

    Post Oak Hotel
    The Post Oak Hotel is going all in on wellness this month with experiences designed to help guests recharge in a customized way. The hotel's Fitness Reset upgrade turns an overnight stay into a full-body reboot with in-room Technogym equipment, a 90-minute spa treatment, recovery therapies, and a $200 dining credit. For those who prefer to catch up on sleep, the Sleep Reset package includes a dedicated Sleep Concierge, calming spa treatments, personalized sleep amenities, and wellness takeaways to bring home.

    If a staycation isn't in the cards, book a poolside cabana stocked with VOYA skincare products, wellness sprays, and champagne, or treat yourself to the spa's Body, Mind & Unwind massage, which starts with guided meditation. On August 20, wellness lovers can also check out the hotel's VOYA Skincare Wellness Event, featuring LED face mask sessions, a skincare masterclass, wellness mocktails, light bites, and a gift bag to take home.

    Thompson Houston
    At the Thompson Houston, guests can trade the usual Sunday Brunch for Sunday Social: Flow, Plunge & Chill, led by Jas of Vibes by Jas. The event starts with an all-levels yoga flow class, then eases into a guided sound bath, assisted stretching, and an optional cold plunge. The feel-good morning wraps up with a complimentary drink, wellness bites, a live DJ, a goodie bag, and rooftop pool access. It is an excellent way to keep the Sunday scaries at bay.
