SOME OF THE city’s most fashionable femmes ushered in a new season at La Vie Style House in River Oaks District.


Brand founders Lindsey McClain and Jamie Coulter, along with a group of hostesses that included Marina Larroude, Sacha Fruchter and Stephanie Pilevsky, welcomed VIPs to their pretty-in-pink boutique touting a new spring line and exclusive Rodeo collection. Dallas-based La Vie Style House, known for its colorful, vintage-inspired, one-size-fits-all items like caftans and wraps, opened its second storefront (and first in Houston) in October.

Among those spotted shopping with pink cocktails in hand: Reagan Bregman, Elizabeth Swift Copeland, Frances Moody Buzbee, Sheridan Williams and Teressa Foglia, who just opened her own hat shop nearby in River Oaks District.

“DO YOU KNOW how a river forms?” is the question that begins Houston author Vaishnavi Patel’s new book, Goddess of the River. The voice belongs to Ganga, goddess of India’s Ganges river, who has been transformed against her will by Lord Shiva from “a tributary of the cosmic ocean” into the physical form of a mere winding river, with no path to the heavens, only the sea. Later, Ganga runs afoul of a powerful sage who transforms her yet again into a human, and as it happens in myths, things get complicated.
