WHERE TO SHOP

Where to shop now: 10 Houston stores with hot drops and can't-miss items

July marks a time between the latest summer releases and pre-fall launches when fashion takes a small break. While designers and ateliers are jet-setting to far-flung vacations or planning what will hit the racks in 2025, customers can breathe easy and enjoy a slower pace of shopping.

However, this doesn't mean there aren't deals to score or great events to attend, especially in a fashion-forward city like Houston. This month, we've rounded up some of the best drops, openings, and can't-miss collections.

Chloe Dao
Spruce up your brows for summer with Chloe Dao and LAMIK Beauty on July 11 from 5-7 pm. Sip on refreshing cocktails and refresh your brows with local expert Kim Roxie. A lucky few will receive complimentary brow service — it's first come, first served. This summer series of in-boutique events is a special collaboration with local female small business owners.

Gala Design-Studio
Gala Design-Studio, the newest luxury home decor hotspot, recently opened in River Oaks. The eye-catching, 10,000-square-foot space offers notable brands, including Boffi, MisuraEmme, and Linie Design. Shoppers can snag items for just about every space in the home, including kitchens, bathrooms, and indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Gucci
Gucci is introducing the Gucci Tennis unique collection, inspired by archival designs from the 1970s. After previewing at select stores in Paris in May, the collection is now making its full debut in stores and online through a new campaign featuring champion tennis players Emma Cohen and George Loffhagen.

Houston Premium Outlets
Just in time for back-to-school shopping, two new stores are now open at Houston Premium Outlets. Shoe Palace started as a small family business and has now grown into a trendy chain of stores with a top-notch selection of shoe and apparel brands. Culture Shock specializes in a vast selection of pop culture merchandise, including Funko, Gundam model kits, video games, trading cards, action figures, statues, and more.

Moreau Paris
In honor of the 2024 Paris Summer Games, Moreau Paris partnered with Atelier Fait à Main to create a one-of-a-kind handbag. The Boston bag features the six colors that represent the Olympic rings and also symbolize the inclusiveness of the Olympics and how athletes worldwide come together to participate in the games. Paris hosted the games in 1900 and 1924; now, in 2024, it is the only city to have hosted three times. Moreau, one of the oldest luxury brands established in Paris in 1878, continues the proud association with this global sporting competition. The bag is sold exclusively at Moreau Paris in the River Oaks District development.

Nordstrom
In association with its annual sale, Nordstrom is hosting a Beauty Bash on July 20. Customers can stock up and celebrate all things beauty with special offers, gifts with purchase, makeup tutorials, customized samples, live music, and more. Customers who spend $125 on a beauty or fragrance purchase will receive an exclusive tote.

ParkerJoe
One of Houston's only boutiques focused solely on boys, ParkerJoe opened in April in the River Oaks Shopping Center. ParkerJoe celebrates all facets of the boy lifestyle with a curated selection of toys, games, books, and Texas-themed stuffed animals, plus popular apparel brands for boys ages newborn to size 16 (tween).

Stetson x True Brvnd
Post Malone partnered with Western lifestyle brands Stetson and True Brvnd to launch a trucker hat available exclusively on truebrvnd.com. Post Malone has long worn Stetson, and the collaboration highlights a shared set of values between all three partners, including a deep respect for Western heritage, reverence for craftsmanship, and passion for individuality and self-expression.

Wilson
Racquet sports brand Wilson recently opened its first store in the Galleria. The outpost features equipment – racquet sports, baseball and softball, football, basketball, volleyball, and golf – and new sportswear. Wilson is located on level 2, between Galleria Financial Center and Neiman Marcus.

Zadok Jewelers
The Post Oak jewelry store just launched its new Texas Collection. Designed in-house and inspired by iconic Texas elements, the newly unveiled collection features a dazzling array of gold necklaces, earring studs, rings, and hat pins. The state shape and familiar sayings ("howdy" and "yeehaw") are a part of the 24-piece collection.

A luxurious spa day is the ultimate Mother’s Day gift, with Houston hotspots offering everything from glow-boosting facials to full-body wellness escapes.

Whether you treat Mother's Day as a clichéd holiday or a well-earned excuse to indulge, one gift never misses: a luxurious day at the spa. This year, Houston's top spas and wellness spots are rolling out the red carpet for every type of mother. For those who are skincare-obsessed or moms in serious need of a reset, consider these curated treatments, limited-time packages, and wellness experiences to help unwind, recharge, and genuinely feel appreciated.

Altered States Wellness
Perfect for moms who would rather reset than sit through another brunch, Altered States Wellness is offering several feel-good experiences. The studio's limited-time offerings include Mom's Solo Escape with a mix of infrared sauna, float therapy, and a FarmHouse Fresh skincare gift bag. Mom's and Mimosas is a shared session featuring sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy, compression boots, and bubbly.

Biologique Recherche
For mothers who have it all and are skincare devotees, cult-favorite Biologique Recherche in River Oaks District offers treatments and serums backed by both beauty and science. Leading the lineup is Soin Seconde Peau, a 90-minute treatment inspired by medical-grade products that boosts skin renewal, enhances repair, and visibly smooths wrinkles. Just in time for Mother's Day, the Parisian brand also recently launched Sérum Spectral, which reinforces the skin's own capacity to adjust and recover from daily light exposure through three nature-derived active ingredients, including arctic lingonberry, schisandra berries, and indirubin.

Blushington
The first Houston location of Blushington recently opened in River Oaks, and now Houstonians can look forward to booking everything from signature blowouts and styling to special occasion hair, extensions and wig styling, makeup services, and brow and lash tinting. For skin-savvy moms, Blushington also offers skincare services with products from Dr. Neal Schultz's Beauty Rx, including the BeautyRx Peel Bar, along with focused treatments for the face, neck, and décolleté, hands, and under-eye areas.

Hotel ZaZa, Memorial City
Just in time for Mother's Day, ZaSpa is offering a Summer of Spa package for those who book any signature massage, facial, or body treatment. The package includes all-day access to Hotel ZaZa's pool and amenities, including complimentary valet parking, towel service and lockers, infrared sauna access, and poolside food and handcrafted cocktails available for purchase.

Skin Laundry
Skin Laundry is now open in The Woodlands. Just like its counterpart at M-K-T, the new location will offer medical-grade laser facials designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity in 15–30 minute sessions. The brand is known for its non-invasive treatments, which support long-term skin health through accessible, consistent care. Some of the most popular treatments include the Signature Laser Facial, Resurfacing Facial, and the Power Signature Facial. The Signature Laser Facial is available to first-time clients for $50.

Trellis Spa
This Mother's Day, Trellis Spa is featuring a lineup of indulgent experiences that feel like a destination getaway. Created as a “boarding pass” to relaxation, each package is a journey that combines therapeutic treatments in a luxurious spa setting. Options range from a quick reset to an all-day retreat.

The Grand Voyage is a 100-minute experience featuring an AgeWell Massage and AgeWell Facial, while The Serenity Sojourn stretches to 150 minutes with a CMD cocoon ritual and CBD pedicure. For those prepared to fully unplug, the Continental Luxe offers 275 minutes of pampering with a customized massage, a Trellis Facial, and a Diamond Luxe pedicure. At the top end, The Citrus Riviera offers a 300-minute escape complete with a customized massage, facial, and seasonal Blood Orange pedicure, making it the ultimate way to spend Mother’s Day without ever leaving Houston.
