Not only are we bringing you fashion that will help keep you on top of the latest styles, but we are also sharing stylish interior spaces and trendy hotspots around town.

With the changing of seasons comes the time for a closet refresh, and we have you covered with where to find the newest fall styles around town. Fashion choices can reveal a little bit of our personality, so it is a great way to express ourselves. So bring on fall in your own best style, and we will see you around town.

It is a common misconception that making dramatic improvements requires a massive bank account, but creating a custom living space within your budget is a challenge Melinda loves to take on. She finds joy in scouring local shops and online stores for one-ofa-kind pieces at a discount. “Hunting for finds is my world and I definitely love encountering high-end products for a steal when out and about. Splurge items for amazing prices make my heart happy because mak ing a room look good does not always have to break the bank,” beams Melinda with a huge smile. In the end, a space that was once bland and boring is given a fresh new look and the customer in turn may feel a sense of inspiration, confidence, and relaxation making the experience worth it. Be it a single room or an entire residence, Melinda wants clients to feel a sense of peace when they enter their homes. To find your style, book your appointment, or see other works Melinda’s team have done view her Instagram page @melindalinteriors.
With the growing popularity of home renovation shows that magically turn dilapidated houses into chic chateaus, we are left with the impression that anyone can convert a cluttered living space into an artful blend of form and function. “How hard could it be, after all” you ask yourself, “take down a wall here, add a little shiplap there, a fresh coat of paint, and a statement piece of furniture to tie it all together. Boom!” Oh, if it were only that simple! For those of you adventurous souls that found out the hard way that there are so many variables to consider when taking on a large renovation project, your DIY dream quickly became a nightmare. Understanding your style concept, coordinating designs and pat terns, ensuring your colors complement each other, all while carefully minding the details… who has the time or the patience for any of that?! Interior designer Melinda Lytle does, that’s who. Fueled by the power of word of mouth, what started as a labor of love 8 years ago with elaborate holiday deco rations and children’s room makeovers has blossomed into a booming business for Melinda. She and her team of contractors are hired to update and stage interiors (and exteriors) of residential and commercial properties.
“Hunting for finds is my world and I definitely love encountering high-end products for a steal when out and about. Splurge items for amazing prices make my heart happy because making a room look good does not always have to break the bank”
INSPIRED BY | HOME + DESIGN options available. From eclectic to minimalist, mod ern farmhouse to art deco, Melinda’s first task is to determine the right style for her customers. Melinda conducts an initial walk-through to get acquainted with her “canvas” as well as her client. Analyzing the floorplan, getting a feel for the space, and having a detailed conversation with her customers to assess their needs and wants are all part of her process. She then is able to build a design concept rendering which helps her clients visualize her ideas and ensures that they will be happy with the finished product.

“Over time, I began to realize that many homeown ers do not see there are challenges in renovations and redesigns. Doing it oneself is not as easy as they think because there could unknowingly be an issue uncov ered if a demolition is done,” warns Melinda. Navigating the massive world of interior design can be overwhelming due to the vast range of design

ShopAcrossTexas.com media outlet promotes Texas’ independent retailers in a way that is crucial for the tourism industry. With lockdowns and gas prices awry, travel and local businesses have gone through many challenges and not all positive. Independent retailers have the ability to pay more attention to what their fellow neighbors want and aim to provide it in a more personal form that many large retailers do not. Waiting around for a small business Saturday is a waste when there are 7 days you can help support. Pearland is “pear”-fect when in search of eve ning attire, a new pair of boots, or even a vintage piece to add a bit of je ne sais quoi to an ensemble.
Pearland’s flourishing shopping scene has 8 stores that have been awarded top status. The coveted list is created from the site's followers who take part in a 6-week survey voting for their top spots across our state. Votes were tallied and our home town winners included Pearland Town Center, BLCK Market, Mainstream Boutique, JenniBelle Boutique, Brooke’s Boutique, Queen Bling Boutique, Urban Eve, and the 20-year-old staple BrowsAroun’ Antiques which was selected for the statewide category in Best Antiques.

CHANEL: COLLECTIONS AND CREATIONS
FASHION IS AN EXPRESSION OF ONESELF. It is a visual statement to the world about who we are and how we want to be portrayed. For fashionistas, clothing is more than just fabric that covers our bodies; it’s a representation of a person’s identity. If you live and breathe all things fashion, then these five books about the history of top fashion magazines like Vogue, iconic brands like Chanel and world-famous designers like Valentino will both excite and entertain you.
“This book documents in pictures the most exciting and diverse period in fashion: from 1900 to today, covering high society, uniforms, sportswear, streetwear, and cou ture. It will appeal to everyone with an interest in fashion as well as students Over 400 photographs and illustra tions, many published for the first time, tell the stylish story of a fashion revolution.” –Amazon “Chanel’s combination of tradition, originality and style has always made it the most seductive of brands. Here the House of Chanel opens its private archives, reveal ing a galaxy of brilliant designs created by Coco Chanel from the 1920s onwards, and now reinterpreted to become the motifs for brand new garments, accessories and beauty products.
FASHION FORWARD | SHOPPING26
“In this stunning updated edition of the successful Vogue: The Covers, Vogue continues to pay tribute to its tradition of beauty and excellence with a compilation of even more spectacular cover art. In addition to featuring classic covers from the magazine’s 125-year history, this updated edition features every cover since 2010, with each cover display ing the magazine’s cutting-edge takes on style, fashion, and culture. Unforgettable new covers feature such cele brated subjects as Michelle Obama, Kim and Kanye, Lena Dunham, and more. This lavish, beautifully illustrated book even includes five new frameable Vogue cover prints that can be removed from the back of the book. Vogue: The Covers (Updated Edition) is a must-have for every fashion lover and collector.” –Amazon
“Fashion is ever-changing, influenced by the key designers that capture a moment in history; and Coco Chanel is arguably the most significant influence on women’s fashion in the twentieth century. Coco Chanel: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon is a compilation of Megan Hess’ stunning illustrations of the 100 most quintessential moments through Chanel’s history, from Coco’s incredible life, to the impact of Karl Lagerfeld and the incredible items that have become fashion icons - the little black dress, the luxurious bags and accessories, glamorous jewelry and of course the renowned Chanel No. 5 perfume.

“The name Valentino has been synonymous with high fashion for almost 50 years. Based in Rome, Valentino is only one of two couture houses recognized by the French government outside of Paris. His exquisite designs are coveted and worn by young Hollywood and high society the world over. On the occasion of his last couture collec tion, presented in Paris in the spring of 2008, this land mark book celebrates 45 years of Valentino’s remarkable career. Published in association with a prestigious exhibi tion at the Museé des Arts Decoratifs’s famed costume department in Paris, this volume focuses on Valentino’s haute couture creations, highlighting the most important and iconic creations of his half-century in fashion through recurring themes in Valentino’s work—variations on the ideas of volume, line, and texture as well as motifs such as geometry, pleats, and flowers—through new photog raphy, sketches, fabric samples, and commentary on the dresses by Valentino himself. ...” –Amazon
