current tidbit

September 02, 2010

Ready…okay! As another season of foam fingers and bleeding orange fanfare approaches, you’re faced with the timeless tradition of trying to make team spirit trendy. Just in time for the Rice showdown this weekend, check out our haute hook ’em finds that are winners on the field and off.

Who better to take Longhorn fashion advice from than a former UT cheerleader? Jennifer Welker of the Golden Thread Shop has created a 14-karat gold necklace complete with an orange gemstone drop, $32. The perfect pairing of girl and game. (Get the line at Magpies and Out of the Box.)

Available for the first time in Houston, Tru Colors’ pretty frocks get you tailgate-ready in style. The brainchild of an LSU grad, the colorful new collection allows you to cheer on any team. (Get the line at 310 Rosemont.)

Before kick-off, put your guy in a classic guayabera from fab Mexican importer The Cardinal. (Anything beats that frat-tastic polo that no longer fits his stomach.) For the little Longhorn, Itsy Bitsy Boutique carries a toddler version, $30.

About Us

When designing Tidbits, we thought about what characteristics a woman about town possesses. What is she interested in? Where does she go? What does she do? We focus on creative women who are active, artistic, approachable and ambitious. If you are a cost-conscious woman who always wants to be in the know, sporting the latest fashion, going out to the hottest restaurants or listening to great bands, keeping up can be exhausting and expensive.

So we are volunteering ourselves to do the legwork for you. We'll do the window-shopping and point you in the direction of the fabulous deals, trends and hotspots. It's a tough gig, but for you, we're willing to sharpen our stilettos and hit the ground strutting.
