    sip, shop, repeat

    Attention shoppers: Two high-profile female celebs are hosting an event that pairs to everyone's fave pursuits: shopping and light day drinking.

    CultureMap lifestyle columnist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Reagan Bregman and her friend Julia Morales — beloved Houston Astros reporter — will host their first Midsummer Sip and Shop pop-up at Georgia James' buzzy rooftop patio lounge from noon to 3 pm Thursday, July 6.

    General admission is $5; RSVP here.

    Now, for the “sip” part: guests can expect craft cocktails, wine, and some signature appetizers — including a Breggy Bomb tidbit. (Breggy Bomb is the spice and sauce company founded by Reagan's husband Alex, a gentleman who's very, very good at baseball.) Not to be preachy, but given the heat, we suggest hydrating as you sip those adult beverages.

    And for the “shop” fun: Shoppers can look forward to what Bregman calls an array of predominantly women-owned small businesses of the Houston area. Think apparel, accessories, skincare, and even cookies, chocolate and more. As for the apparel, Bregman's athleisure line Exiza will be stylishly represented, natch.

    As if savvy sippers and shoppers needed anything else, a portion of the event proceeds will benefit two worthy charities: Bregman Cares, the nonprofit Alex and Reagan to raise funds and awareness for autism and those in need in general; and Houston Pets Alive!, which works tirelessly to save animals' lives by preventing them entering kill shelters.

    Here's a rundown of just some of the participants:

    • Exiza
    • Julia Morales baseball
    • • SkinCeuticals SkinLab by Dr. Roth
    • • Lele Sadoughi
    • • Golden Thread
    • • Saturday Silks
    • • KB Design
    • • Transparent Sunglasses
    • • XLabel Apparel
    • • Katie Kime
    • • Kind Collective
    • • Winfield’s Chocolate Bar

    Oh, and like any good shopping event, prizes await. Get ready to raffle for:

    • 2 Georgia James dinners (for two)
    • 2 $25 gift cards from Julia Morales’ baseball
    • 2 pairs of Astros tickets
    • $100 Exiza gift card
    • 1 weeknight stay at Hotel Lulu + dinner at Lulu’s for two
    • 2 signed Astros balls

    “I love local businesses and Houston is filled with so many incredible woman-owned brands,” Bregman tells CultureMap. “Julia and I wanted to get everyone together for a fun event. It's even better that we are able to do it in support of our true passions: Bregman Cares and Houston Pets Alive.

    “Overall, it's going to be a great time with some truly incredible women. My brand, Exiza, will be there and honestly, I can't wait to shop at all of the other vendors myself!”

    VIP access ($20) from noon to 1 pm is already sold out, but general admission is still available at a mere $5 for this grand-slam shopping fest.

    Houston fashion star Chloe Dao marks 25 years with epic clean-out sale

    From January 24- 31 Chloe Dao will open her personal design archives to mark 25 years with a rare boutique vault sale.

    For Houston fashion devotees, this is the kind of news that prompts a calendar alert and a group chat with the besties. Chloe Dao is celebrating 25 years in fashion by doing something she has never done before: opening the vault.

    From January 24 through January 31, the Chloe Dao boutique will host a 25-Year Anniversary Clean-Out Vault Event, releasing pieces from Dao’s personal design archives alongside curated boutique items that have been held back for years. Once they are gone, they are gone for good.

    “This is not a typical sale; this is an anniversary moment,” Dao says. “It’s an intentional release, a moment of reflection and gratitude, and a way to make space for what’s next. Once these pieces are gone, they’re truly gone."

    For the first time ever, shoppers will be able to snag select designs from past collections and limited production runs, and Dao has confirmed she will be parting with some of her couture designs. Shoppers can expect more than 300 items, with more than half of the boutique included in the sale event.

    Everything in the anniversary sale will be discounted 65 percent or more. Fan favorites, including the Houston T-shirt and Aya scarf, will be priced at $15 to $20, down from $42 to $68. None of the released pieces will be reproduced or restocked.

    There is also a very personal moment behind this big event. Dao shared that she is planning for the future, including her eventual retirement in about 5 years, making this the right time for a shift.

    “It is bittersweet, and I’m still torn about letting go of some of my archive pieces. But a close friend stopped by the boutique this past Saturday and reminded me that I can always create more. That really stayed with me. I’ve missed designing for my store, and this sale feels like a reset — a chance to return to what I love most: designing eveningwear," Dao tells CultureMap. "The past six years, especially post-COVID, were very much about survival mode. Now, if I’m going to truly survive and thrive in today’s retail landscape, my focus is shifting back to my own line and less on curation.”

    Following her Project Runway Season Two win and decades of success, Dao says the milestone is also about gratitude for the city that supported her from the start.

    “Think of it as an archive release and a chance to own a piece of my history as I celebrate 25 years in fashion. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I’m so excited to share this moment, and this milestone, with you."

    25-Year Anniversary Clean-Out Vault Event, January 24 - January 31, Chloe Dao Boutique, 600 N Shepherd Dr #115, in M-K-T Heights.
