The holidays may be over, but the spirit of giving is in full swing at Abejas in Houston. This chic spot for fashion-forward clothing has begun having Charity Sundays, days on which a nonprofit organization benefits from items donated by shoppers. Or, donate $25 and receive 10 percent off your purchase.
While you’re there, make sure to check out the Miel de Abejas flip-flop. This leather American-made sandal is a comfy way to usher in the upcoming warmer weather. Our favorite is the metallic platinum—so subtle and works perfectly as a neutral.
For the sartorial-minded on your V Day shopping list, may we suggest a stop at Thomas Pink? A bespoke shirt for a man or woman is a well-considered gesture, but if you happen to be a pro at procrastination (guilty!), and need to a do a quick drive-by, pick up one of its silk ties in lovely shades of pinks and reds at the Galleria Dallas store or online.
Don’t say we didn’t give you enough advance warning to get on the wait list. Lancôme’s Gucci Westman has teamed up for the fourth time with a supersexy designer to create a limited-edition lip color. This time around she’s been inspired by Thakoon Panichgul’s spring 2008 collection and created Pixel Pink, a sultry but sweet hue that will be available March 1 at Lancôme Boutiques. As you may remember, last spring’s offering, a pale pink made for Proenza Schouler, sold out in two weeks (and later fetched $100-plus on eBay).
