If you’re a real life fashionista who treats every sidewalk like a runway, you’re probably always looking for new outfit ideas. Luckily, fashion blogs provide endless inspiration that is a bit more accessible than that of more traditional fashion magazines. Here are three must-follow fashion blogs to bookmark on your browser:
Refinery 29
While it partially consists of witty pop culture stories and accessible world news, Refinery 29 is also packed full of shopping guides and celebrity outfit photos targeted toward the young stylista. Think of this smart and stylish website as your go-to for your morning dose of news and fashion.
WhoWhatWear
This mega popular fashion-blog-turned-online-magazine is a resource for many of the stylish regular girls just like yourself. Learn how to style a jumpsuit, where to find the best online sales and how to take better outfit photos in order to post your best creations to Instagram.
Fashionista
The name says it all at this sleek and stylish site, which takes a more thoughtful approach to the world of fashion. You’ll find news from behind the scenes at your favorite fashion magazines and news from around the world, all on one beautiful, image-heavy website.
Anglophiles and expats alike flock to British Isles to stock up on edibles, collectibles, and gifts. This Houston area shop specializes in imports directly from Britain. You'll find jars of marmalade and chutney, as well as biscuits, cakes, and crackers, all of which make excellent additions to your afternoon tea. You can also stock up on royal family collectibles and coveted Royal Worcester porcelain pieces, each hand-painted and carefully gilded.
British Isles is also a great place to pick up a gift for someone special. Purchase a set of china tea cups for a particularly proper friend, or splurge on an exquisite piece of modern glassware for an artistically-inclined pal. Kids will especially appreciate a bit of imported chocolate or candy, as well as the adorable Paddington Bear and Peter Rabbit plush toys. Whatever you intend on purchasing, be sure to allot yourself plenty of time, because chances are good that you'll lose track of time browsing through British Isles's charming stock.

"Come thirsty or come hungry and Fioza Cafe will take care of you." So goes the motto for this trendy coffee and bubble tea bar in Houston. It pours locally roasted Fontana Coffee, the product of another independent business in Houston. Using careful brewing techniques and high-grade equipment, Fioza's baristas make everything from lattes to espressos.
Another chunk of the menu showcases various bubble teas, each teeming with Fioza's own artfully prepared tapioca pearls. Grab a bubble tea, hot or iced standard tea, or any other refreshing drink and use it to wash down one of the casual eats at Fioza. Its food menu includes paninis, deli sandwiches, and an array of pastries that are all baked fresh and in-house. Yelp reviewers particularly seem to enjoy the paninis, so try one stuffed with smoke turkey and basil pesto or grilled veggies and goat cheese.

Today we take the time to honor our courageous leaders and how their visions have shaped our great country.
Local Foods fills a unique niche in Houston dining by serving gourmet salads and sandwiches that are prepared with local ingredients and served in a bright, airy space. The walls and counters are lined with white tile, steel prep tables have been put on whimsical blue casters to serve as dining room tables, and brightly colored leather booths make Local Foods a bright and cheerful spot for lunch.
The service is casual and quick: you place your order at the counter and then take a number to your table, where a server brings your food out as soon as it's ready. And the food, well, regulars the sandwiches just might be the best around. Bite into the grilled chicken sandwich piled high with veggies and topped with a creamy sauce and served on a toasted pretzel bun. Or for something really decadent, try the tender, smoky duck confit sandwich with melted Swiss and micro greens.
