    IYKYK LOOKS

    3 red-hot fashion & beauty brands debut add-to-cart spring lines in Houston

    Here in Houston, it's nearly time to swap coats, layers, and the ever-present hoodie for those warm weather looks. Just in time, three big brands have made it easy to prepare for spring and summer trends with fabulous colorways, a nod to '90s nostalgia – which is all over the runways this season – and the ultimate recipe for glowing skin.

    Houston shoppers, get ready for this month's add-to-cart moment.

    Houston-based brand Hunter Bell recently launched a collaboration with Spanish shoe designer Sveti Stefan.

    During her summer travels, Houston-based designer Hunter Bell fell in love with Spanish shoe brand Sveti Stefan. Bell admired the brand so much, she decided to do an across-the-pond collaboration. Bell and Sveti Stefan are both known for their bold use of colors and patterns; the Hunter Bell patterns on Sveti Stefan shoes make for whimsical footwear that can be mixed and matched with nearly any outfit.

    Available in a loafer style and Mary Janes, the shoes come in three colorways — perfect for spring. The shoes can be dressed up or down with shorts, jeans, dresses, and skirts.

    "Sveti Stefan makes beautiful, high-quality shoes and incorporates bright colors and patterns, so we are thrilled to debut this collaboration of like-minded brands," says Bell. "I love seeing our spring patterns on footwear and being able to dress the HB woman down to her toes!"

    Dr. Few x Neiman Marcus

    Dr. Julius Few, known as "The Holistic Plastic Surgeon," just launched a new innovative skincare line. Celebrities and VIPs flock to Few for his subtle blending of surgical, non-surgical, and topical skin care techniques to achieve maximum aesthetic results.

    Neiman Marcus in the Galleria was tapped as one of the few locations across the country to debut the line, which is also available online and at drfewskincare.com. The vegan collection consists of seven, highly effective formulas that, when used together, promise to deliver more effective results. The collection includes a cleanser, oil serum, moisturizers, eye cream, mineral sunscreen, and retinol at a price point of between $85 to $195.

    Gucci Ancora Collection

    Spring and summer wardrobes just got hotter with the drop of Gucci's latest collection. The collection marks the debut of creative director Sabato De Sarno. The line is meant to make shoppers "fall in love with fashion all over again."

    Gucci's new collection comprises tailored coats, super-short shorts, logo hoodies, body-skimming tanks, knit sets, and the return of the double GG skinny belt. The always-iconic Jackie bag is one of the stars of the collection, this time in a dark burgundy hue.

    The campaign itself has a nostalgic nod to 90's fashion — all the rage right now — and the collection is available online as well as Gucci's Galleria and The Woodlands boutiques.

    Kendra Scott's million dollar engagement ring crafted by a Houston jeweler tops Houston's most-read fashion articles of 2025.

    Editor’s note: Houston’s shopping and style scene delivered plenty to talk about this year, with headline-making jewels, must-have accessories, major retail moves, and Texas-sized collaborations. Readers couldn’t get enough of a million-dollar pink diamond crafted by a Houston jeweler for Zac Brown and Kendra Scott, the Labubu frenzy, and the arrival of luxury brands in River Oaks District. New flagships from beloved Texas brands, summer shopping guides, and the return of the Nutcracker Market, along with news of a Macy’s local closure also topped the year's must-read articles. Here's a look back at the stories that captured the Bayou City's love of luxury, hometown pride, and constantly changing retail landscape.

    1. Houston jeweler supplies star Zac Brown with a Texas-sized diamond ring. Country superstar Zac Brown popped the question to billionaire jewelry mogul Kendra Scott with a one-of-a-kind creation from Houston jeweler Valobra Master Jewelers. The jaw-dropping 3.06 carat fancy pink diamond (GIA certified, VVS2 clarity) was set in platinum gold and surrounded by 28 baguette-cut white diamonds totaling 3.17 carats. The jeweler wouldn't comment on the price, but it would surely retail for over $1 million.

    2. Loveable Labubu: Where to find the must-have fashion accessory in Houston. Love them or hate them, these tiny monsters broke the internet with the April release of Big Into Energy Labubu. Lucky Houstonians who were able to buy one online flocked to area stores in Sugar Land and The Woodlands for their pick-up-only purchases.

    3. 2 luxury jewelers unveil flagship boutiques in River Oaks District. With VIP salons, ornate decor, and luxury jewelry, two French jewelry houses made an entrance in River Oaks District this summer. Joining the neighborhood's luxury lineup, shoppers can now buy their baubles from Cartier and Van Cleef.

    4. Colorful Texas handbag maker opens new flagship store in Katy. Popular handbag brand Consuela opened its first Houston-area store at La Centerra in Cinco Ranch, Katy. Shoppers can now get their hands on the bold, colorful printed bags and accessories without a long drive or an online checkout.

    5. Macy's to shutter dozens of stores nationwide, including 1 in Houston. As part of a strategy to make Macy's profitable again, the store shuttered six Texas stores, including a longtime location at Almeda Mall. Five DFW stores also went dark, and by early 2026, the retailer will have closed 150 "unproductive" locations nationwide.

    6. Where to shop right now: 12 Houston shops with fresh summer finds. Amid back-to-school shopping and the August 8 sales tax holiday, Houstonians were especially interested in where to find the best deals at local retailers, including Chloe Dao, Mejuri, Reformation, Abejas Boutique, and more.

    7. Houston bootmaker offers $5,000 cowboy boot and gator hunt adventure. For $5,000, Houstonians can now source an alligator hide near Anahuac that will be transformed into a pair of bespoke cowboy boots by Republic Boot Company.

    8. What to know about the return of Houston's Nutcracker Market for 2025. The Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market is one of the most highly anticipated shopping events of the year. This year's market welcomed 40 new vendors and over 100,000 shoppers, with ticket sales exceeding $24 million. Over $6 million went directly to support Houston Ballet, its academy, and scholarship programs.

    9. Texas brand Lucchese launches UT Longhorns collection with boots and more. Storied Texas bootmaker Lucchese released a collaboration with the University of Texas featuring two men's styles and three women's styles. The lineup pairs white and cream colored leather with burnt orange accents as a nod to Longhorn pride.

    10. Whataburger partners with Texas activewear brand for new capsule collection. Whataburger tapped Austin-based activewear brand Burlebo for a capsule collection just in time for Father's Day. The line included caps, infant onesies, and shirts available in three different patterns.
