TAKE IT OFF The world premiere of White Women, Sleepless Nights, Big Nudes just opened at the Museum of Fine Arts, an unprecedented look at fashion photographer Helmut Newton’s body of work.

No trip to Houston is complete without a stop at Tiny Boxwood’s, the tranquil eatery that grew out of a Provençal-style nursery. A chic set lines up for lattes topped with art, champagne-tossed greens and refreshing white sangria. A second location just opened in West U.

WALK IT OFF Miss Tootsies? The Texas institution was born in Houston and has a new home. Stroll the city-block-long store featuring a permanent runway, plenty of bars for glittery parties, a centerpiece shoe display and handpicked designers like SA’s Claudia Labao.

Uber-buzzy development West Ave is home to Tootsies and other faves like pretty Pondicheri (Indian food for people who think they don’t like Indian) and The Do Bar, a slick, local blowdry-only salon that opens next week.

TOP IT OFF End your trip with perfectly crisp Italian-style pizza at bungalow-turned-restaurant Dolce Vita in Montrose, or head to flocked wallpapered-BRC for brunch.
