City Boots
Wildly popular City Boots is opening a three-month pop-up in River Oaks District (4444 Westheimer Rd., Suite E130). Houstonians can shop the Texas-based handmade boots Thursday, Feb. 16 through Monday, May 15. The Houston store will be the third for the brand, with the first in Fort Worth and second in Dallas’ Deep Ellum.
Known for her iconic, limited-edition Heart Boot and Lightning Boots, Amarillo native and Founder Lizzy Chesnut Bentley’s designs boast an elevated, feminine and flattering fit made with premium materials that have garnered the brand lifelong fans. The 30-plus styles of boots will be complemented by vintage wood and leather pieces, pops of color and cactus. The space will center around a ranch-house aesthetic with leather couches.
Five new styles — dubbed the Houston Collection — will launch at the opening and will be exclusive to the Houston store for the first week before being available online. Houston Ballet dancers served as models for the collection's debut photography.
“I have roots in Houston, and the first steps of bringing City Boots to life happened in this city,” said founder and CEO Lizzy Chesnut Bentley in a release. “After graduating college, I began my oil and gas career in Houston, and this opportunity to launch the new Houston collection in its namesake city right before the Houston Rodeo was the perfect fit.”
Kemo Sabe
Kemo Sabe, the Colorado-based high-end western brand, is popping up in Rice Village Thursday, Feb. 23 through Saturday, March 11. After wrapping up their three-week show at the Fort Worth Stockyards, the Kemo Sabe Roadhouse crew is staying put in the Lone Star State for a 17-day pop-up at 2414 University Blvd., Suite 100.
Sales wranglers will be slinging top selections of hats, boots, buckles, knives, apparel and more. “We are thrilled to be bringing Kemo Sabe to Houston Rice Village in just a couple weeks,” notes Arna Einarsdottir, vice president. “We can’t wait to show off our pretty, gritty Kemo Sabe style that is what sets us apart from other western stores.”
Teressa Foglia
Bespoke hatmaker Teressa Foglia is hosting a Rodeo kickoff Wednesday, Feb. 22 from 5-8pm at her River Oaks District atelier (4444 Westheimer Rd., Suite E135). In-store pop-ups include Any Old Iron, Julia Clancey’s luxury kaftans, fine jewelry from Samantha Knight, Casa del Sol Tequila and more. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Houston Petset.

Spanish moss trees and a painted bayou landscape welcomed partygoers to a tent at the Margaret Alkek Williams Center for Dance, where a pianist tickled the ivories and silent auction items — luxury handbags, a Tulum getaway — tempted viewers.
Dinner was a proper southern feast, starring prime filet, corn succotash, asparagus and buttermilk biscuits. For dessert, a satisfying combo of chocolate fondant, pistachio creme, sweet toffee, vanilla ice cream and shortbread hit the spot. And wait! There's more! Party favors included truffles from Winfield's Chocolate Bar in flavors like champagne and cheesecake.
But before departing, partygoers joined Houston Ballet company members — who had not been permitted to attend events for the past several years due to Covid concerns — on the dance floor, where the sounds of Big Blast & The Party Masters kept everyone moving and grooving!
The evening, chaired by Allison and Troy Thacker, honored Hallie Vanderhider, who underwrote the Ballet's Summer and Smoke production, which debuts March 9.
