Goosefeathers and G2
For ten years this boutique has been on the radar of Corpus’s most stylish dwellers. Goosefeathers carries a mix of bohemian dresses and tops by Nanette Lepore and Trina Turk alongside True Religion jeans and Mystique shoes. Owner Tiffany Foster currently loves anything with embroidery, bright colors, and a beach vibe suitable for the coastal locale. Peasant blouses and floral print dresses by Johnny Was score top billing as well. Two years ago, Foster and friend Kelley Cortese started their own clothing line, Chase n Sully, which features silk and cotton/silk tops and dresses. Add a piece from their jewelry line, Everett Locardi, to finish the look. G2, the men’s section, lives in the back and features button-down shirts from 7 Diamonds and graphic tees by English Laundry. 4252 S. Alameda, Lamar Park Center, Corpus Christi (361-980-1388). Open Mon—Sat 10—6. Closed Sun.
