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.
Score with these discounts! Enter code TIDBITS for 10% off the necklace through September 14th. Mention Houston Tidbits at The Cardinal and Itsy Bitsy and get 20% off orange guayaberas through September 11th.
In town this weekend? Head to sleek Eddie V’s Prime Seafood in CityCentre – when you buy one entrée, the second one’s on the house! Call 832.200.2380 for details. (Stay tuned for a second location to open in the West Ave development next month.)
