Warehouse 503

Though this year-old McAllen boutique isn't located in the most retail-friendly surroundings (a traffic-clogged business highway), the raw beauty of the space—formerly an auto-parts plant—has an industrial charm that perfectly matches the clothing, from Siwy shorts and Voom sundresses.

Lucky's favorite stores in Texas!

Nouvelle

This is the best of the boutiques that have sprung up in Laredo, one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S., providing a masterful mix of the forward-thinking and the ever-glamorous, from Tucker smocked blouses to M Missoni knit dresses.

Neiman Marcus

This renowned luxury department store just celebrated its 100th anniversary, and the downtown Dallas flagship is where it all began. The palatial marble-floored space is still the best place to bask in the full NM aura: With a genteel refinement that's hard to come by these days, its hushed, calming environs make browsing for ladylike classics, like a Chanel bag or Manolo Blahnik pumps, an intensely rewarding affair.

Parts & Labour

Texans have an intense sense of pride when it comes to their state, so it makes sense that a shop would crop up that exclusively features Lone Star–made goods. Items crafted by more than 200 young talents—many of whom live in the Austin area—are on offer, from cheeky T-shirts to offbeat lockets.

Past Era

This extraordinary estate jewelry resource is beloved for its assortment of pieces that span 300 years of design. We fixated on an Etruscan turquoise wirework pendant and a Georgian lover's-eye miniature (a locket-size charm that paramours would have painted for each other).

Peel Gallery

The only retail entity among the art galleries in one of Houston's most visually arresting buildings, Peel showcases new works by respected names, from Brooklyn's Jason Miller (he of the famous ceramic antler chandelier) to London's Thorsten van Elten collective (now in stock: its surreal teacup-shaped planters).

Inspired by her sister's store, Abejas, Courtney Beauchamp debuted this warm, welcoming San Antonio boutique, a dressed-down environment that offers clothing from Kerry Cassill, Clu, and Burning Torch.

Pixie & Ivy

Stephanie McKinley-Ford's eclectic shop is influenced by her global jaunts: The interior is a pastiche of antiques procured in Parisian markets, and the inventory is made up of labels with an artful urban aesthetic, like Rick Owens, Sonia Rykiel, Nathan Jenden, and Obesity and Speed.
