    WHERE TO SHOP

    Where to shop in Houston right now: 16 spots for fabulous holiday finds

    Christmas is less than two weeks away — but don’t fret. With new pop-ups and store openings, stylish Houstonians can easily find holiday gifts and fab looks that are sure to stand out this season. Here, then, are your best bets for fashionable holiday finds.

     

     Away
    The American brand is opening its first Houston store Wednesday, December 18, at The Shops at Highland Village (4033 Westheimer Rd.). “Houston is an incredible city, bursting with culture and filled with a diverse group of travelers - both local and visiting,” a representative for the brand tells CultureMap. The store aims to “serve Houston as a community hub for people who love to travel.” Expect in-store experiences including personalization events, panels, workshops, and more.

     

     Balani Custom Clothiers
    From white-tie weddings to black-tie-preferred, we’ve all had our fair share of invitations with varied dress codes. The custom men’s label wants to help Houstonians “demystify dress codes.” Whether you’re attending a holiday party, winter white wedding, or casual beach ceremony, Balani can dress you, no matter the occasion.

     

     Christina Greene
    This Houston-based brand recently opened its first showroom at 2449 South Blvd., Suite 100. Shoppers can mingle with designer Christina Greene McAllen and shop her upscale jewelry line, including the newly launched bridal collection, inspired by her own dream wedding. The showroom also carries women’s apparel, accessories, and home goods.

     

     Elizabeth Anthony
    Throughout December, the Uptown Park luxury womenswear boutique is having a fragrance pop-up. The hand-selected artisanal fragrances are curated for not only your style, but also your home.

     

     Ethan Allen
    Ethan Allen is now open in the renovated Uptown Park, less than a mile from its former Post Oak location. Houstonians can shop and enjoy new perks of the design center, including sitting with a designer at a workstation to view detailed, 3-D floor plans of their space.

     

     Jentry Kelley
    Shop from this beloved makeup artists’ holiday line, including the limited edition Velvet Rose Collection. A blue velvet coin purse holds a sheer pink creme rouge, perfect for the lips and cheeks, and a rose gold powder highlighter for the eyes, cheekbones, and cupid’s bow.

     

     Kendra Scott
    The Austin-based jewelry label’s Winter 2019 collection “features sculptural silhouettes and feminine details that capture the essence of the holiday season.” With many pieces under $100, the artfully designed collection are perfect for everyday style and holiday festivities.
     
    Kendra Scott recently announced its online gifting assistance, which can come in handy for men shopping for their girlfriend, wife, mother, daughters, or sisters. When shopping online, select who you’re shopping for and select a word that best describes their style. Based on the information provided, gift options will appear, making it easier than ever to shop during the holidays.
     
     Kennimer Co.
    Situated above Big Kats Barber Shop in Midtown, Ben and Bonnie Kennimer opened a storefront for their custom design house. Specializing in western wear, the husband-wife team spend their days designing custom hats from fine hare and beaver felts, western pearl snaps, embroidered suits, and more.

     

     Léránt
    An under-the-radar gem in the Galleria area, Léránt carries an extensive selection of home décor, luxury tableware, barware, and jewelry. Shoppers can expect whimsical, colorful piggy banks to children’s clothing from UK-based designer Sarah Louise, incense burners, humorous emotion mugs, and handwoven straw clutch purses by Kayu, a favorite of the Duchess of Sussex.

     

     Market Street - The Woodlands
    The mixed-use center has several new additions, including Madison Reed, a color-only hair salon; French fashion house, Louis Vuitton; beauty retailer, Bluemercury; and UNTUCKit, the American men’s apparel company focused on casual shirts that don’t have to be tucked in.

     

     
     MIRTH
    Known for their caftans, sisters Erin Breen and Katie McClure’s local label recently launched pajama sets and blockprint robes. Ethically crafted in India, a percentage of each sale is donated to a child welfare organization in Jaipur. Lovers of paper goods will love MIRTH’s set of three notebooks featuring printed covers, hand marbled in Jaipur.

     

     Misty Rockwell Cosmetics
    Misty Rockwell has been a makeup artist for two decades, boating clients from the Houston Texans and Miss Texas organization. “Designed for modern glamour and everyday elegance,” her newly launched line of cosmetics, includes foundation, blush, bronzer, highlighter, contour sticks, eye liner, and refillable palettes with eye shadow, blush, bronzer, and highlighter.

     

     Miss Robinson Fashion House
    Jessica Robinson opened Miss Robinson Fashion House in Rice Village as a one-stop shop for Houstonians to not only shop but also have their hair and makeup done. “I wanted to make sure [Houstonians] can leave feeling confident and completely ready for their venture,” she tells CultureMap. Expect seasonal fashion shows and in-store photoshoot opportunities showcasing the latest style trends.

     

     Outdoor Voices
    The Austin-based athleticwear brand is opening its first Houston location at Heights Mercantile Friday, December 13. Taking inspiration from NASA and the Astrodome, the shop features “technical apparel made for recreation, stadium seating made of synthetic turf and living grasses (a tip of the hat to the Astrodome) for communal hang-outs, and a discovery zone to get to know the products.”

     

     Sam & Davy Texan Wear
    The Houston-based apparel company has a pop-up in River Oaks Shopping Center, at 2043 W Gray St., until January 5, 2020. The husband-wife duo launched the brand in 2017 and show no plans of slowing down. Shop everything from their Houston is Everything tees, Texas Forever and Ever tees, and Texas Dad hats in various hues.

     

     Tecovas
    Nicknamed “the Warby Parker of cowboy boots,” Tecovas recently opened its long-awaited Houston store in Rice Village, at 2400 University Blvd., Suite 100. Shop their signature handmade boots for men and women, accessories, and more.

    8 Houston stores and creators raising money for Hill Country flood relief

    Christina Greene has five jewelry pieces in the Support Texas Hill Country collection.

    The devastating Independence Day floods that tore through the Texas Hill Country have had fellow Texans scrambling to support Kerr County and the surrounding areas. Texans have already shown up in a big way, but, as the Hill Country recovers, our neighbors need continuous support.

    These local Houston businesses are offering generous donations through customized items, Texas memorabilia, and bespoke events to raise much-needed relief funding for those most affected by the floods.

    Events

    La Fête presents In Bloom, We Give: A Benefit for TEXSAR Floral Class
    Each ticket ($175) includes a hands-on floral design class led by La Fête HTX, all materials and fresh seasonal blooms to create your own custom arrangement, and a beautifully-styled floral piece to take home. This special evening is designed to inspire creativity and community, all while giving back. The florist will donate 100 percent of profits to Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR) to support their on-going flood relief efforts across the state. The event will be held at the Montrose Country Club on Wednesday, July 23 from 6:30-8:30 pm.

    The Plant Project presents Sunshine and Succulent Bar 
    Presented by the dynamic Bree Clarke of The Plant Project, this three-day event will donate 100 percent of its proceeds to Blueberry Hill Farm & Rescue in honor of Eloise “Lulu” Peck, an 8-year old girl who died in the flood. For $65, participants will create a garden from succulents, plants, and blooms that celebrate Lulu’s wonderful life and the deep, unwavering love she had for animals. The event takes place at M-K-T Heights (600 N Shepherd Dr, Ste 117) from July 18-20.

    “We love the memorial fund that Blueberry Hill Farm & Rescue has created,” Clarke tells CultureMap.

    Stacy Snyder hosts Pilates With Purpose
    Join the Love Is Blind star for a 45-minute, all-levels mat Pilates class, then stay for a community raffle and social hour. (Bring your own mat.) Priced at $35, the event takes place at Moonshine Deck (1239 W 19th St.) on Tuesday, July 29 at 6 pm.

    “Every moment helps support our shared cause! Come together in community and support our neighbors in need,” says Snyder. “100 percent of ticket proceeds will be donated to Central Texas Flood recovery. We'll also have an exciting raffle preceding the class with items generously donated by local vendors. Every dollar spent on raffle tickets will go directly to support our chosen charity.”

    Shopping

    The Antiquarium
    This River Oaks institution will be donating a percentage of all sales from Tuesday, July 15 through Saturday, July 19 to benefit Kerr County Flood Relief. Find antique maps, books, prints, and paintings of native Texas plants and wildlife to add to your collection, for a cause. (1976 W Gray St.)

    Christina Greene
    The Houston-based jewelry designer has created the five-item, Support Texas Hill Country collection. Choose from three necklaces, stud earrings, and a Texas-shaped charm — or collect all five! The store will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the collection to the Kerr County Relief Fund. (1317 S Voss Rd.)

    Golden 
    This Memorial-area boutique will donate 100 percent of profits from the sale of its Finch fish gemstone necklace — a customer favorite — in Camp Mystic green. Available to order online or purchase in store for $58. (12462 Memorial Dr.)

    Zadok Jewelers
    The Galleria-area jewelry store will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from its “Heart in the Hill Country Bracelet” to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund. In addition, Zadok will match all proceeds up to $10,000 with an additional donation.

    “As a family-owned jeweler with deep Texas roots, Zadok stands firmly with our neighbors when they need us most,” the store said in a statement. “That’s why we custom designed the Heart in the Hill Country Bracelet to support the community affected by the devastating flood in Central Texas.”

    Honorable Mention

    The Hotel Saint Augustine’s very Texan “I love the Hill Country so much” T-shirt sold out almost immediately, but owner Bunkhouse Hotels is hoping to release more soon. Keep an eye out on Instagram!
