Jubilee
Must:
I ventured out of my bubble and ran into a great place last year. I’ve been going back to Jubilee over and over again. It’s like a secret hole in the wall boutique that no one knows about unless you’re ‘in the know’. Whether you’re new to Houston or a Houstonian seeking something new Jubilee is a great place to come by. Rare finds like refurbished furniture, unique clothing and accessories will leave you wanting more! I spoke with owner Kristal Kirksey to find out a little bit more about this deliciously delectable boutique.
Jubilee has ‘deliciously elegant fine foods & housewares’ once you stop in you always want to go back! Very similar to finds at the Nutcracker Market that happens here in Houston every December, that provides one of a kind home goods that have a unique feel to Houstonians, except Jubilee is open year round…so good for you! If you have a unique style and love rare finds you might not want to tell many so you get it all to yourself! It’s a great place right in the heart of old town Houston!
If you are looking for vintage inspired pieces to add to your wardrobe definitely stop in! Also, Jubilee still has a few rodeo pieces in stock from early March in their collection – flirty pinks and white rodeo skirts are a must have. So cute with those vintage boots you just purchased for the rodeo! Kirksey also adds that ivories, whites, and baby pinks are big for the spring and are a must at her boutique. I tried on and pictured a few of the outfits that were definitely some of my favorites.

A majority of the outfits that I have paired together give off a flirty spring feel, a Marie Antoinette touch, and an Alice and Wonderland vibe. I wonder if it’s because I am obsessed with all of the above or if it’s because the boutique is in the now. I think that it is a combination of both!
I love the vibe that this boutique has and it is definitely one of my favorites!
Lust:
The furniture and chandeliers are definitely one of a kind so if you are looking for pieces like these for your home it is definitely worth the trip to stock up on home goods like these! The pieces have a vintage charm and a modern flair. Kirksey adds charming pieces to her collection with funky eggplant, lime green, light pink, blue, & hot pink colors to her growing antique furniture collection making it a perfect piece for any home.
