Elaine Turner offers boutique shopping in Rice Village
I breezed through Elaine Turner’s shop in the fall but didn’t spend quite enough time to appreciate all the corners and shelves filled with lifestyle-branding items and whimsy. Last Thursday, I visited the store again to snap some pictures for a Toast the Coast event, benefiting the National Wildlife Federation and the Gulf Coast oil [...]

TOMS gets fancy.
Have you guys seen TOMS new wedges? Yea or nay? They’re clearly meant to appeal to a more Cape Cod/Kate Spade type of customer, and they do make more sense on the beach than a $300 pair of wedges, but do you think the “heels with heart” are worth the $69? Or more importantly, are [...]

Brand whore or brand aversion?
The shoes at left aren’t super ugly or impractical. In fact, my personal issues with cork aside, they’re pretty cute, versatile and comfortable-looking. They’re being sold on Shopbop for $140, a reasonable price for shoes you could wear to dinner, the beach, or even out shopping. But would it change your mind if you knew [...]

Missoni for Converse
Missoni hearts the 70s, and though the Italian brand is usually dedicated to perfecting clingy knits and retro glam gowns, its next project makes perfect sense. Angela Missoni‘s spring collaboration with Converse (release date is scheduled for April) includes two pairs of classic high-top tennis shoes and will be called the Premium Chuck Hi Missoni [...]

What you’ll find at The FIND Houston = the best stuff of your life.
If you live in Houston and are looking for something different to do this weekend, you should take yourself on a little treasure hunt through the Warehouse District to the underground shopping and fashion “experience,” The FIND. It’s basically located next to the train tracks in a very gutted looking warehouse, but on the inside, [...]

TOMS’ mysterious collaboration
What is it with the fashion world using Twitter to drop hints about new deals? Well, whatever. This one could be cool: @TOMSshoes another unique collaboration coming up this fall. Hint: it’s not with an artist, not with a musician… but you guys will dig it. So, what? An actress? Who loves helping kids in [...]
