    exclusive sneak peek

    Haute Houston jewelry designer's Grecian getaway inspires new collection

    Houston jewelry designer Christina Greene McAllen's turquoise-and-gold, Western-inspired designs have established her as a recognized name with local jewelry aficionados. While jewelry tends to have a slower pace than fashion, it is constantly evolving and changing, which is why Greene's latest collection, Grecian Escape, which steps away from her usual Western vibes, will make a splash when it makes its official debut on Thursday, September 12.

    McAllen attended the Parson School of Design in New York and interned with notable designers, including Michael Kors and Shoshanna before she switched to jewelry. In 2011, the Houston native started her jewelry business and recently moved from her longstanding Rice Village boutique to a new outpost in Tanglewood.

    Her latest collection has been two years in the making and was inspired by a trip the jewelry designer took with her husband and friends to Greece. "I absolutely loved the country, culture, food, architecture — everything. I'm so excited for people to enjoy Grecian Escape," McAllen tells CultureMap.

    The collection features earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings with sunburst motifs, natural stones, and hypoallergenic 18K gold-plated brass. McAllen doesn't stray from her love of turquoise and gold, but with her latest collection, she wanted to embrace different designs inspired by her travels.

    Layering has been on trend for several seasons, and McAllen encourages her customers to layer, stack, and pair pieces from Grecian Escape with other designs from previous collections. "The beauty in layering is that you can easily dress a look up or down, making it an easy day-to-night transition," she says.

    When pressed to pick a favorite from her latest creations, McAllen admits that she loves the Meet Me in Mykonos Chain Bracelet, which is very different from any other bracelet she's designed. "I absolutely love the thick, chunky chain and the uniqueness that the piece offers. I will be wearing this on repeat as soon as the collection launches on Thursday."

    Texas designer Kendra Scott steps up with first-ever boot collection

    The collection only includes three silhouettes, but colors widen the choices.

    One of Texas's most prominent fashion designers is stepping into a new realm: Western boots. Kendra Scott, known primarily for her relatively affordable, casual jewelry, is launching her first-ever footwear collection under the Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott brand.

    Yellow Rose, a "lifestyle extension" of the more general Kendra Scott brand, focuses on Western aesthetics and personalization. The company opened a Houston location in the Heights in February. The boot collection will be available there as well as locations in Dallas and Austin. Customers from farther afield can also order online.

    A press release says the Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott Boot Collection "deepens [the brand's] authentic connection to Kendra Scott’s Texas roots." It also cites a focus on "accessibility and color innovation" for the "modern cowgirl."

    “When we set out to create Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott, I wanted it to honor the timeless spirit of Texas while also reflecting my admiration for iconic women like Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, and Loretta Lynn,” said founder and chief creative officer Kendra Scott in the release.

    “Their influence, alongside our customers’ desire for versatile and authentic footwear, led us to envision Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott as a Western-inspired lifestyle brand offering everything from head to toe," she continued. "Footwear felt like a natural progression toward that goal, bringing everyday style to the modern cowgirl and cowboy in a way that’s familiar to us—through unique shapes, colors, and timeless design.”

    The collection encompasses three different styles: two in women's cuts, and one for men. Although this is the first time Kendra Scott is offering boots, it's not the first time shoppers have seen some of the design elements in the embroidery, which echoes some jewelry designs. All three styles are made of cow leather and come in different colors.

    Shoppers can pick up pieces from this collection for $298-$398. Styles are available in men's sizes 7.5-13 and women's 5-12.
