Sick of corporate Christmas? Try shopping local. Hair Balls presents a 12-part series highlighting ideas for holiday gifts made and sold in Texas.
Speaking of vintage, lower Westheimer is a haven for clothing resale shops, which can be fun if you have all Saturday but not so fun if you don't like to dig. Our favorite shop is Leopard Lounge, despite it's awful reviews on Yelp, because it's hand-curated selection of vintage clothes takes all the work out of finding something unique to wear. Prices aren't too high, considering they've done all the digging for you, and the styles are somewhere between Retropolis and Buffalo Exchange.
Project Runway winner Chloe Dao brought legitimacy to Houston as a fashionable city. The dresses in her Rice Village shop are so cute. Check out the back of this Mod number, and the striking blue of this simple dress. Though some of her hand-crafted clothes can be expensive, falling into the $300-$400 range, she also sells a handful of charming t-shirts at much lower prices.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
