Houston is being blessed with the presence of a new influencer, Alix Earle. The TikTok star announced that her boyfriend, wide receiver and punt returner Braxton Berrios, signed a one-year contract with the Houston Texans. If you\u2019re wondering \u201cWho\u2019s Alix?\u201d \u2014 just ask her 4 million Instagram followers or 7.3 million TikTok fans who became enthralled with her \u201cget ready with me\u201d videos and luxurious lifestyle. Earle’s arrival might just fill the void that Kate Upton left when she departed Houston with Justin Verlander. Beautiful, blonde, famous \u2014 you see the parallels.<\/p>\n
In an effort to properly welcome Alix to our beloved Houston, we\u2019ve created our own \u201cbest day ever" for Alix Earle. This fantasy day envisions no traffic and the Uber gods smiling down upon you for sleek black SUVs to appear immediately when ordered.<\/p>\n
8 am: Kick the day off at The Preserve. We\u2019ve noticed that you like to lift weights, and this nature-inspired gym provides a relaxing atmosphere to get those gains. If you need to recover from last night\u2019s festivities, there’s even a steam room to step into.<\/p>\n
9 am: Select from a menu ranging from handmade pan dulce to standards such as chilaquiles and tostadas at Ema. This hotspot typically has a wait, so why not explore the Houston Farmers Market while your assistant waits in line? If you\u2019re someone who loves to name-drop that you\u2019ve been to a Michelin-recommended restaurant, then add this Bib Gourmand bistro to the list.<\/p>\n
10 am: For a skin refresh, head to SkinLab by Dr. Roth Plastic Surgery for peels, facials, and fillers to stay sideline glam-ready. If you require even more TLC, feel free to cancel everything else on this list, and toss your phone into the Gulf (or at least out of reach). Book a day at the Spa World in Katy, where you\u2019ll find multiple specialty saunas and baths, body treatments, and massages.<\/p>\n
11:30 am: Settle into one of The Marigold Club\u2019s velvet green booths for brunch. The lush, Mayfair London-inspired d\u00e9cor sets the stage for a selfie spree. Order a croque madame or fresh oysters alongside the restaurant\u2019s extensive martini and mimosa offerings. Feeling extra posh? Opt for afternoon tea, complete with a tower of finger sandwiches and pastries \u2014 no pinkie left unraised.<\/p>\n
2 pm: Stroll through River Oaks District for swoon-worthy designer brands. If Braxton joins you for this epic day, drop into Cartier to try on gorgeous jewels he can gift you with funds from his $2 million Texans deal. Or, find your perfect fit with a handmade hat from Teressa Foglia. RodeoHouston may be wrapping up this weekend, but you’ll want a hat for next year.<\/p>\n
4 pm: It’s not quite the same as South Beach, but we do have stylish places to beat the heat. Take a dip at El Segundo Swim Club or the brand-new Montrose Country Club. Best of all, both locales have full bars and private cabanas to rent so no one can sneak snaps of your well-known self soaking up the vitamin D.<\/p>\n
6 pm: As night approaches, start things off at Bandista, the hidden speakeasy inside the Four Seasons. They make elaborate, photo-worthy cocktails from premium liquors. Try Atonement, their twist on an Old Fashioned, or Relic, a clarified spin on the El Diablo. It\u2019s giving top-shelf, just like your social feeds.<\/p>\n
8 pm: There are endless dining options in Houston, but we think someone who’s been living in Miami will feel right at home at Toca Madera, a sultry Mexican steakhouse with indoor trees, gold accents, and rich wood tones. Pair entrees such as Japanese wagyu, chicken al pastor, or seared salmon with hibiscus lime butter, with one of Toca Madera\u2019s multiple margaritas.<\/p>\n
10 pm: Newly opened but already known for its chic aesthetic and flavorful drinks, Melrose\u2019s vibes are a great place to continue the night. Continue the tequila trend with Mary\u2019s Sister, a spicy, smoky blend of mezcal, tequila, red bell pepper, beet, and chili. Since this entire night is fantasy, let\u2019s pretend you are hungry enough to sample the menu that Tatem\u00f3 chef Emmanuel Chavez developed for the cocktail lounge.<\/p>\n
12 am: You\u2019ve worked out, eaten, drank, swam, and drank some more. Why not end the day with a bit of Latin dancing at Fabian\u2019s? DJs spin tracks of the latest Latin hits every weekend, and while there\u2019s always a line and a cover, we\u2019re pretty sure your dazzling smile will handle all that nonsense.<\/p>\n
And there you have it \u2014 your ultimate Houston fantasy. We\u2019ll be refreshing our feeds for that \u201cGet ready with me in H-Town\u201d video, Alix. In the meantime, welcome to the city!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
