TOP-TIER SOCIALITES and VIPs gathered at the River Oaks District’s newest elite boutique, at the invitation Courtney and Christopher Sarofim.

“Houston ladies came out in droves to toast NY-based designer Adam Lippes’s first boutique outside of New York,” gushed a rep for the shop, adding, “2024 is a breakthrough year for the designer, who got his start at Oscar de la Renta, as he is slated to open new doors on Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue and a private salon up 5th Avenue later this year.”

Indeed, the guest list was a who’s who. Faces in the crowd included Natalie Steen, Jim and Whitney Crane, Jessica Phifer, Hilda Curran, Olivia Persia, Kelly and Karol Barnhart, Tiffany Masterson, Elyse Lanier, Christopher Sarofim, Gillian and Fayez Sarofim, Andrew and Mona Sarofim, Nicole Katz and CityBook Executive Publisher Lisa Holthouse.

Adam Lippes produces Resort, Spring/Summer, Pre-Fall and Fall/Winter collections each year. Current retailers, per the brand rep, include Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Net-a-Porter and Saks Fifth Avenue.

The Lippes opening is just one piece of high-end retails news at River Oaks District since news broke that local billionaire Tilman Fertitta had bought the post shopping enclave. Luxury men’s clothiers Brioni and Stefan Ricci are set to bow later this summer.

Justin White, Founder of Senior Health Services

WHAT IS THE secret to running a successful business? First, you have to have a mission that you care about. I absolutely love helping people understand Medicare! Secondly, I have always succeeded because the agents I work with know that I care for them and truly want them to succeed. I love developing leaders and watching them soar! If I help them get where they want to be, I will never need to worry about me! We all rise together.

LeBrina Jackson

AS WE GET into the holiday season, we’re reminded of what we have, what we want and what might be lacking. As Sheryl Crow says in her song, Soak up the Sun, “It’s not having what you want, it’s wanting what you've got.” We caught up with LeBrina Jackson, owner of Escape Spa in Cypress, Texas, and learned how she tackles the holiday season with hope, love and most importantly, gratitude.
