Ten Great Vintage Stores in Houston

Whether it's a 1960's-style sofa, ironic Bob Seger t-shirt, or pair of perfectly tattered Levi's 501 jeans, these vintage shops are sure to have what you're looking for.

Rice Village

A walking tour of one of Houston's more enjoyable shopping sites, Rice Village. (Located near - get ready to be totally surprised, folks - Rice University.

Galleria Mall

Galleria Mall is the end-all of Houston mall shopping. There are over 375 stores inside that touch everything from the the homegrown to the haughty. It's really a nice microcosm of Houston as you're just as likely to see a celebrity as you are a homeless guy.

Katy Mills

Like your malls a little more suburban? Katy Mills is your place then. There are more than a couple hundred stores at this Katy shopping hot spot. And they offer valet parking Friday - Sunday, by the way, because, ugh, who parks their own car?

The Shops at Houston

Downtown shopping collective The Shops at Houston are a convenient and welcome diversion from the bustle of an unreasonable work day. Surely, your boss will appreciate you taking a three hour lunch if you tell him/her that you found a totally boss deal on Manolo Blahnik strappy sandals. (I am so disappointed that I did not have to Google that reference.)

Uptown Park

Spas, medical and financial services, posh restaurants; if it's unfairly priced, Uptown Park. Their billed as a "European-Style Shopping Experience," but they're surprisngly bereft of guys in black and white striped shirts smoking skinny cigarettes.
