Katy Perry-Loved Shop That Looks Like a ‘Pink Parisian Jewelry Box’ to Debut at River Oaks District

GET READY TO think pink! Dallas-based luxury caftan and wrap brand La Vie Style House is set to open its first Houston boutique in the River Oaks District this fall.


The all-pink environs will house the collection of the brand's effortlessly cool pieces that range from short caftans in heart-shaped-cut lace and leopard sequins to full-length wraps in metallic brocade. "The storefront is inspired by a pink Parisian jewelry box — a wonderland of ornate one-of-a-kind pieces," says co-founder Lindsey McClain. "The location will include accessories and styles just for our Houston shoppers, including an exciting rodeo collection."

Handmade in the U.S., the Vie Style House takes inspiration from vintage clothing and the world travels of co-founders McClain and Jamie Coulter. The one-size-fits-all caftans are a favorite of celeb clients Katy Perry and Chrissy Teigen.

"This is the perfect location for us. It's a match made in retail heaven!" Coulter says. "We can't wait to be a part of the Houston community."

The 1,300-square-foot boutique is set to open in the River Oaks District Oct. 15.

Leadership in Action: John Kuykendall Traded Newcaster Dream for Success in Luxury Retail

John Kuykendall, Showroom Manager, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove

How did you get to where you are today? Growing up I had envisioned myself as a news anchor, living in NY and enthusiastically saying into the camera “Good Morning America!”. To this day, I am still a news/political junkie. My mother owned fur salons so specialty retail, luxury retail was in my blood through the family business. Eventually, mom shuttered the stores and I was recruited to a large specialty retailer. Over the next 30 years, I was in commissioned sales on the sales floor, became a department manager, worked my way up to buyer and store manager. Although I never became a newscaster, I did live in NYC for a few years. But Texas is home and with aging grandparents, I felt the pull to come back to my roots. A headhunter approached me. I never envisioned myself in the high-end appliance market, but there are so many similarities. Clients want a memorable experience; whether shopping for diamonds and fur or remodeling their kitchen.
