The clothes are unique and super cute especially for little girls. The sale section is decent with items being 20% off and at the same time when an outfit is $69 the discount isn't that much less. They do have great quality items and the parking is easy. They are so nice and will even gift wrap it for you!

I love small businesses, and I love my kids, so combining them together usually results in a…read morewinning combination. Threadfare is an adorable kids boutique that's currently located in an awkward, temporary building but will soon be moving to the new shopping center on 34th near Oak Forest. Don't let the outside fool you, though- there's TONS of cute and affordable clothing, accessories, and toys for your kids packed inside. I came by looking for stocking stuffers for my kiddos, 2 years old and 7 months old. I had NO clue what I wanted, so I was just browsing hoping to spot something small and cute. The store had so many perfect gifts that I had a hard time narrowing down what I was going to buy! They carry some great kid brands you're probably familiar with, like MudPie and Magnetic Me, and some others that I haven't heard of before but are ah-DOR-able! I loved that when I came they had a big sale going on, with most clothing items 20-40% off. Score! I ended up getting my 7month old some magnetic-close jammies, and my 2-year old the cutest hair clips and kid-safe nail polish, both of which were a huge hit and she hasn't gone a day without one (or all) of her hair clips yet. Threadfare made it easy for me to find the perfect gifts for my kids at a great price!

Craftex - The Coolest Store in Houston Tucked onto a side…read morestreet in Bellaire, just off of Bellaire Boulevard near Hillcroft, is the amazing Craftex. I discovered the place through my friend, Greg Buchold. I had been admiring a Mardi Gras mask and wreath that he had put on his door and he told me about the place. I went looking for Mardi Gras stuff but was blown away by the extensive collection of cookbooks and design books that they sell, all discounted from retail list prices. But there was much much more. Just when I think I've seen everything there is to see in Houston, something new pops up on my radar. Check out the photos.

Today I decided to check this place out since I had some extra time. Iris Gifts is very much a boutique store. I was immediately greeted with a smile. I told the store associate I was just looking and we left it at that. I love not being bothered, so I am completely fine after the initial greeting/offer of help until I ask for help later. They have all the cute and festive items for the seasons, adorable clothes for children, fun jewelry, amazing candles and more! I enjoy browsing stores like this when I have some free time to get ideas for later when birthdays and/or special occasions arise. In this area of town, you will find several boutique shops, but this one is very convenient and there is plenty of parking available. Some of my favorite items are the El Arroyo collection, the fun cocktail napkins and the decorative styrofoam cups. On the higher end, they sell beautiful, lovely smelling candles (one brand in particular is $115.00 - I don't know anything about the brand, so I can't give feedback on the price - maybe it lights itself - Lol), pretty costume jewelry, home decor pieces and alluring bath items that function as both decorative and useful. I was surprised to see the reviews are not higher for this shop. It's cute, it's friendly and it is full! What's not to love?!

I found this to be very interesting since reviews claim otherwise. I though both ladies were exceptionally friendly. I originally went in to look for a 'Scout' brand bag. They have a huge selection of bags and even discounted ones - 40% off! I have recently become obsessed with their items and hoped to find a local store that carries a good selection - indeed, I did! Aside from my initial reason for choosing this shop, I was delighted to find other treasures. Astros items, fun sparkly slip-on shoes, 'El Arroyo' (Austin, TX restaurant - see photo) brand items, trinkets, wall plaques, serving platters, greeting cards and more. I was in a hurry and had to return to work, so I didn't get the time to browse as much as I wanted. I will definitely go back to see what other finds they may have in store - pun intended! ;)
