It’s been over two years since I set foot in Houston Premium Outlets — and baby, was I missing out or what?!
First off, shoutout to Miss A for instantly catching my eye. One dollar rings? A WHOLE WALL of them? Listen, don’t even bring up quality — for that price, who cares?! It’s giving Dollar Tree meets teenage fever dream, and I’m HERE for it. The associate even told me the store concept is like Dollar Tree but for beauty and accessories — honestly genius. If you’ve got kids or just wanna shop without crying over your bank statement, THIS is the place. Makeup, accessories, cute chaos, and the customer service? Chef’s kiss.
Then there’s Disney Store — and let me tell you, I did not walk in there planning to spend money. (Famous last words.) But next thing I know? There’s a back-to-school sale. There are adult hoodies. There’s a Miss Duck jacket-hoodie hybrid that I couldn’t resist — and it was only $30, with tax. And yes, the quality is legit. While other stores out here are raising prices and lowering quality like it’s a sport, Disney said: hold my ears.
💥 Huge kudos for running real promos that don’t feel like scams. If you’ve got a kid (or inner child), run, don’t walk.
And then. My soul wept. Dippin’ Dots.
Haven’t had it in five years. No Jimmy this time, but that Banana Split flavor? Absolute joy. I was sweaty, I was tired, but I was healed. My whole shopping trip felt complete.
Can’t forget Auntie Anne’s — the OG pretzel stop. I didn’t need the sugar rush, but let’s be honest, I wasn’t about to walk past it. Normally I’d top it off with Starbucks too, but today I showed restraint. Too much sugar already. Small win. 😌
There were also new carts along the walkway — bubble tea, lemonade, burgers — and I even spotted one selling vinyl records laid out in neat rows. It added a fun, vintage touch to the experience. I didn’t even make it to the food court — there were too many mini stops along the way!
🧭 Quick shoutout to the Kate Spade associate who helped me when the map screen was down and my sense of direction said goodbye. She didn’t just point — she guided. True service queen.
Real talk:
Yes, some major brands clearly dropped their quality, which was a little disappointing — but that’s on them, not on Houston Premium Outlets. If anything, it made the standout stores feel even better.
Only one suggestion: update the drink machines! I’d love to see more variety — maybe some imported drinks, something fun and fresh. The current machines are a little tired.
Despite the heat turning me into a walking sweat towel, I walked out feeling satisfied, fed, and mildly broke — which means it was a great day.
✅ Final verdict:
Houston Premium Outlets still slaps.
Even if the sun’s trying to kill you. 😎🛍️
