"Saint Cloud, Rice University West U. Saint Cloud, a high-ceilinged haven tucked into Hanover Plaza, focuses on small luxuries produced with thought and care from around the world. You’re immediately struck by the awesome honeycomb fixture hanging from the ceiling, and the black-and-white checkerboard display tables boasting chunky jewelry and scrumptious cookbooks. The well-traveled boutique offers a tightly curated line of designers and products unavailable anywhere else in Houston, from silk blouses and cashmere scarves to woven bowls and super fly throw pillows. It’s a great place to stop by and breathe in all the pretty things before heading back into the real world."
