Shopping Is Our Cardio

Realize your New Year's resolutions with out-of-this-world Nordstrom pop-up shop

Shopping is our cardio, and, thanks to Nordstrom, we can use our favorite pastime to realize our New Year’s resolutions. Starting January 10, we get to browse and buy exclusive merchandise in the New Beginnings pop-up shop, the latest installment of the Pop-In @Nordstrom series.

Nordstrom NorthPark is one of eight stores across the country to score this pop-up featuring new designers, new beauty products and an assortment of items (astrology books!) hand-selected by director of creative projects Olivia Kim to match the New Beginnings theme.

So what is this pop-up all about? For starters, a Frame Denim mini-shop featuring a collaboration with model Karlie Kloss. These jeans may be life changing, as they promise to bring together the quality and heritage of LA-manufactured jeans with the style, cut and fit of those seen in London. We dig it.

Also shop for other hot products such as Kora Organics by Miranda Kerr, the brand’s first launch at a major retailer; unique jewelry from designer Gia Bahm, crafted from crystals and bullet casings (sounds like Miranda Lambert would be all over this brand); Michi edgy active wear; and VFiles sweatshirts. How about a Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic camera?

To kick things off, Nordstrom NorthPark is hosting an event on January 11 from 2-4 pm. In addition to light bites and drinks, customers can book a session for a private astrology reading by the Astro Twins, identical twin astrologers Tali and Ophira Edut, who have more than 15 years of experience in astrology, publishing and coaching. Sounds out of this world, no?

Don’t want to face the madness that is NorthPark? Don’t fret, friends. This merch is available online as well.

High-fashion name Miu Miu to open first Dallas store in Highland Park

Miu Miu

An iconic fashion name is opening a store in Dallas: Miu Miu, the Italian brand that's a younger sibling to Prada, will open its only DFW location at Highland Park Village, the open-air shopping center in Highland Park, at 12 Highland Park Village in the former Dior space.

According to a release, it'll open in fall 2025.

A representative from Highland Park Village calls the label "one of the hottest brands in fashion."

Miu Miu was founded in 1993 by Miuccia Prada as a more colorful spinoff of her original Prada label. Miu Miu is generally described as "playful," and targeted to a younger audience in their 20s and 30s — lots of pop-art colors and patterns, as compared to the more austere black-nylon reputation of Prada. Miu Miu is also less expensive.

They've had some ebb and flow in terms of popular appeal, but have been enjoying a surge of renewed interest and sales in recent years.

Miu Miu merchandise can be found at some stores including Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, but not an entire store. The Highland Park Village location will carry ready-to-wear, footwear, handbags, fashion jewelry, and accessories.

While the release says this is the first store in Texas, there was once a Miu Miu that opened in Houston at the Galleria back in 2011, but it closed prior to the pandemic.

Miuccia Prada is in expansion mode: A massive new Prada store opened in December 2024 at NorthPark Center.

At HPV, Miu Miu will join a designer's den featuring retailers such as Akris, Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Brioni, Carolina Herrera, Cartier, Chanel, Chloé, Christian Louboutin, Dior, Fendi, Goyard, Harry Winston, Hermès, Jimmy Choo, LOEWE, Moncler, Ralph Lauren, Rolex, Tom Ford, Vacheron Constantin, Valentino, and Van Cleef & Arpels.
