Oh, the places you’ll go. Here, an adventurous itinerary for celebrating spring and all that’s hip in Houston.

SEE We always love a chance to duck into the Hermes-orange Vaughan Christopher Gallery, where the fantastic collection is matched only by the bungalow’s backyard haven. You’re invited to the opening of Four Decades of American Pop this Thursday, April 22nd, from 6 – 8 p.m., featuring works by Andy Warhol.
SIP Take in three female artists at Lilith’s Spring at the stunning home furnishings haven, Laura U. The exhibit this Thursday, April 22nd, from 6 – 9 p.m., features bubbly, beats and the work of Natalie Davis, Wendy Wagner and Sarah Ashley Longshore, a New Orleans designer recently picked up by Anthropologie.

STYLE Through May 2nd, see how highrise hipsters live during the Redesigning Downtown home tours. One Park Place, the luxury lease apartments, asked three local heavyhitter designers to transform units, and the results are stunning. Your $10 ticket goes towards Discovery Green.
SUIT UP Throw on a telephone hat or your best platinum blonde wig for the Lady Gaga Monster Ball party on Friday, April 30th, at 9:30 p.m. The costume contest at Belvedere will make for some wild Gaga-oogling, and the winner scores seats to her sold-out concert this summer.

SAVOR RDG + Bar Annie just started serving up Sunday brunch, and the masterpieces are something to behold. Order an eye-opener in the form of a grapefruit margarita, then start your adventure with crab beignets and small plates like bacon-wrapped eggs.
