    For savvy shoppers, springtime is a time to inject some excitement into wardrobes. With April in bloom, it's time to add playful prints and bold colors to the rotation. From dresses to stylish jewelry and sunglasses, the options are endless.

    So, gear up to turn heads with the latest offerings available at several of Houston's best boutiques.

    Christina Greene

    Spring and summer gift shopping just got a little easier at luxe jewelry designer's Rice Village boutique. Shoppers can take advantage of 25 percent off styles, including new markdowns on Greene's gorgeous rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings for the entire month of April.

    Estilo Home

    The brother and sister team behind Estilo Salon & Spa opened the doors on their newest concept Estilo Home last month. Carrying luxury products from across the globe, including Bangladesh, Ghana, Morocco, Paris, and London, shoppers can find various handmade items, including home décor, baskets, tote bags, vases, furniture, and a variety of European bath products.

    Golden Thread

    The longest season in sports just started, so it is time to ensure your Astros gear is on point. Take advantage of Golden Thread's Astros headbands, stackable bracelets, earrings, and more. Their stainless steel gold 'Stros Nameplate Necklace is perfect for gameday outfits.

    Gucci

    As we reported, Gucci just rolled out the Horsebit 1955 Handbag campaign featuring Halle Bailey, Hanni, and Julia Garner as the fresh faces of its latest launch. Houston shoppers can visit Gucci boutiques to get their hands on the Gucci Horsebit 1955 GG Crystal Mini Bag in dark red and black and the Gucci Horsebit 1955 Shoulder Bag in black and red.

    The House of Creed

    Celebrate the new season with the House of Creed's latest fragrance Spring Flower. The scent is in celebration of Flora, the Roman Goddess of Spring, crafted and inspired by the optimism, fantasy, and romance of spring awakening. The perfume comes in an elegant pink bottle that looks like a flask. Spring Flower is available at the Creed boutique in the Galleria.

    Katie Kime

    Famous for her city toile, Austin-based designer Katie Kim recently added Houston to her repertoire of notable locales. Locals can now don Houston toile featuring the Astrodome, baseball player, cowboy hat, oil derrick, downtown skyline, NASA spaceship, and more. Available on several different products, including robes, phone cases, wallpaper, notecards, and sleepwear – the Houston Toile Pajama Shorts Set is the perfect pick for spring and summer lounging.

    Lele Sadoughi

    Celebrity favorite Lele Sadoughi — we recently chatted with her — has opened her second Texas boutique in River Oaks District. The Houston showroom features an exclusive 'Houston' headband adorned with hand-sewn Texas-inspired charms, making it the perfect accessory to show off some HTX pride. The boutique also boasts the brand's first-ever section devoted entirely to its sunglasses and hats.

    Margarita Mercantile

    Perfect for spring and summer, Margarita Mercantile just launched a limited edition dress. The floral patterned dress features bold embroidery, scalloped seams and oversized sleeves. A modern take on a traditional Mexican dress, the Paty Cross Stitch Wrapping Dress is available for a limited time only.

    Proper x Forth & Nomad

    Heights neighbors Proper and Forth & Nomad collaborated on an Astros opening day special. Available for a limited time, Astros fans can get their hands on a Fourth and Nomad "Opening Day" candle and the New Era x Proper Exclusive Houston Astros 1986 All-Star Game 59Fifty, available in the colors Vegas Gold/Rifle Green.

    Spice Paper Design

    Bluebonnet season in Houston is fleeting, but Spice Paper Designs' Bluebonnet Notecards can make it last all year long. The note cards come with a simple blossom on the front and a splash of bluebonnets on the back and can now be personalized with a name or monogram.

    Valentino

    Unboxing Valentino, the iconic luxury brand's latest spring/summer collection, features nine new pieces from creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli. The collection is inspired by the "essential spark that leads to flowering many blooms” and is available at the Valentino showroom in the Galleria.

    Wolford

    Known for its innovative lingerie, knitwear, and athleisure wear, the iconic European brand's boutique is now open in the Galleria on Level 2 near Neiman Marcus. Shoppers can get their hands on the Wolford's newest collaboration Sergio Rossi x Wolford.

    SERENE STAYCATION

    Slow down and recharge with wellness specials at these 7 Houston hotels

    Houston hotels are celebrating National Wellness Month with spa escapes, sleep-focused suites, rooftop wellness events, and relaxing staycations.

    It is time to trade the packed weekend itinerary for a plush hotel robe and slippers during National Wellness Month. Houston hotels are putting a wellness spin on their offerings with sleep-focused suites, spa escapes, rooftop sound baths, and even astrology-inspired happy hours. These local getaways will make self-care feel like a mini vacation without ever leaving the city.

    Hotel Granduca
    Spa enthusiasts enjoying a staycation immersed in Hotel Granduca's Italian charm can add a touch of France to their stay with a treatment at Biologique Recherche, the hotel's preferred spa partner. Customers will receive complimentary transportation to the River Oaks District spa and a 30-minute extension on their services, which can be booked at the hotel's front desk.

    Hotel Saint Augustine
    Steps away from the Menil Collection and Rothko Chapel, at Hotel Saint Augustine, Perseid is putting a cosmic spin on happy hour through August 24. During nightly Wishing Hours from 8-11:11 pm, the restaurant serves astrology-inspired cocktails inspired by the Perseids meteor shower, which peaks in mid-August and lights up the sky with 50 to 100 meteors an hour. Guests can also write down a hope, dream, or wish on a handmade card before calling it a night. It's equal parts cocktail hour and manifestation session.

    InterContinental Houston
    Need to hit the reset button? The newest Pure Wellness Rooms at this hotel near NRG Stadium and Texas Medical Center are a spa day disguised as a hotel stay. The rooms include medical-grade air purification that captures 99.9 percent of airborne particles, hypoallergenic luxury bedding, and a vitamin-infused shower. Hotel guests can also score extra perks, including late checkout, in-room yoga mats, sleep eye masks, and two freshly blended smoothies each day.

    Marriott Marquis Houston
    This downtown hotspot might be known for its Texas-shaped pool, but in August, it offers a host of mind-and-body experiences. Pure Spa, the hotel's onsite spa, is offering its newest treatment, red light therapy, designed to support relaxation, circulation, and skin vitality. Guests can also enjoy a one-hour guided sound bath, complete with an aroma journey and wellness tea at the hotel's rooftop infinity pool.

    Omni Houston Hotel
    Sometimes setting the phone to Do Not Disturb is the best self-care, and Mokara Spa at the Omni Houston Hotel makes it easy with the 100-minute Tech-Free Tranquility package. The experience includes the spa's signature massage and facial, along with time to unwind in the dry sauna or plunge jacuzzi. The package also includes valet parking plus access to the hotel's fitness center and pools.

    Post Oak Hotel
    The Post Oak Hotel is going all in on wellness this month with experiences designed to help guests recharge in a customized way. The hotel's Fitness Reset upgrade turns an overnight stay into a full-body reboot with in-room Technogym equipment, a 90-minute spa treatment, recovery therapies, and a $200 dining credit. For those who prefer to catch up on sleep, the Sleep Reset package includes a dedicated Sleep Concierge, calming spa treatments, personalized sleep amenities, and wellness takeaways to bring home.

    If a staycation isn't in the cards, book a poolside cabana stocked with VOYA skincare products, wellness sprays, and champagne, or treat yourself to the spa's Body, Mind & Unwind massage, which starts with guided meditation. On August 20, wellness lovers can also check out the hotel's VOYA Skincare Wellness Event, featuring LED face mask sessions, a skincare masterclass, wellness mocktails, light bites, and a gift bag to take home.

    Thompson Houston
    At the Thompson Houston, guests can trade the usual Sunday Brunch for Sunday Social: Flow, Plunge & Chill, led by Jas of Vibes by Jas. The event starts with an all-levels yoga flow class, then eases into a guided sound bath, assisted stretching, and an optional cold plunge. The feel-good morning wraps up with a complimentary drink, wellness bites, a live DJ, a goodie bag, and rooftop pool access. It is an excellent way to keep the Sunday scaries at bay.
