The shopping is world-class and Las Vegas probably has the highest number of Louis Vuitton storefronts per square mile of anyplace on Earth, but Houston has a megamall where I can find most of the same stores and pay ever-so-slightly less sales tax.
One store that we don’t have in Houston is a dedicated Vosges (we get our fix by mail or at Whole Foods), so we picked up a few of our favorite bars for our hotel room. We were so busy stuffing our faces the rest of the trip, though, that they all came back to Texas with us. We’re still working on them.
I did a little shopping, mostly just browsing, and decided that I would only use precious suitcase space on something that was either a great deal or completely irresistible. I didn’t expect to find anything that fit those criteria, but then I stumbled upon a 30% off rack at Calvin Klein.
Hey, a girl should have a new dress for her birthday dinner.
