Influencer Approved

Tour Dallas' one-stop shopping center with on-the-go influencer duo

The life of a social media influencer isn't easy (even though it seems pretty nice!), so having a go-to place to work out, shop, sip, grab a bite to eat, and have a treat yo' self moment is crucial.

For the women behind Dallasites101, Kara Shannon and Lily Kramlich-Taylor, that all-in-one spot is Inwood Village. Instead of running across town from meeting to meeting, errand to errand, and from lunch to cocktails, Inwood Village makes it easy — it's your friendly neighborhood everything.

One of Dallas' oldest shopping centers, Inwood Village is situated on Lovers Lane and Inwood Road. We spent the day with Shannon and Kramlich-Taylor as they stopped by some of their favorite spots in the village.

Hiatus Spa + Retreat
The place to go for an affordable, luxurious spa experience. From massages and body scrubs to facials and nail care, Hiatus offers services that work into a happier, healthier lifestyle. Hiatus makes relaxation accessible with the H-Circle membership, a monthly subscription for one service plus additional discounts and perks.

Susan Saffron Jewelry Boutique
An intimate boutique offering a range of jewelry lines, including Julie Vos, Mercedes Salazar, and Susan herself. It's the perfect spot for a personalized, memorable experience to pick out a thoughtful gift for a friend or yourself.

The Bar Method
A boutique fitness studio offering barre classes for students of all levels. A barre workout not only reshapes your entire body, but it allows for increased inner strength, too. Highly trained instructors customize the exercises to ensure they're safe and effective for all ages and every body. The Park Cities location features three workout studios, a lounge area, and locker room.

The Juice Bar
Dallas' premier juice bar, serving cold pressed juices, smoothies, bowls, and more. Opened in 2012, the Inwood Village location is the company's original shop. The Juice Bar focuses on creating the best flavors, using the highest quality ingredients, and providing great customer service.

Flower Child
A fast-casual restaurant serving farm-fresh, ridiculously healthy brunch, lunch, and dinner. Flower Child is dedicated to serving healthy food for a happy world: all ingredients are locally sourced, proteins are raised naturally without additives, and produce is guided by the wisdom of the Environmental Working Group.

Just one Saks Off 5th store in DFW survives company's nationwide closures

Saks Off 5th is closing most of its stores.

Saks Global, parent company of Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, is closing most of its discount designer stores as it tries to wiggle through bankruptcy. In Dallas-Fort Worth, three Saks Off 5th and Neiman Marcus Last Call stores will shutter, and one will remain open.

According to a release:

The Saks Off 5th in Grapevine Mills mall will survive as the only remaining Saks Off 5th in Texas.
A Neiman Marcus Last Call store in Grapevine Mills will close.
The Saks Off 5th store in Dallas (8040 Park Ln.) will close February 2.
The Saks Off 5th location in Grand Prairie (2950 W. I-20 #125) will close February 2.

In total, 57 Off 5th stores and all remaining Last Call stores will shutter nationwide. (A complete list of closures can be found here.)

The mass closures come after Saks Global filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protections on January 14. The conglomerate has been buckling under the strain of $2.5 million in debt it acquired with the 2024 purchase of rival retailer Neiman Marcus.

"As we advance on Saks Global's transformation, we are taking decisive steps to realign our business to better serve our luxury customers and drive full-price selling across our core luxury businesses," says Geoffroy van Raemdonck, chief executive officer of Saks Global, in a release. "With these actions, we will be well positioned to seize the greatest opportunities for long-term growth and value creation. We sincerely thank our Saks Off 5th and Last Call colleagues for the important role they have played in serving our loyal customers."

In good news for shoppers, many of the U.S. stores, including those in DFW, will kick off closing sales beginning January 31. Additionally, saksoff5th.com will wind down its operations with an online closing sale beginning Friday, January 30.

The select Saks Off 5th stores remaining open, including the Grapevine Mills location, will serve primarily as a selling channel for residual inventory from Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman, the company says.

The overall primary market for luxury goods has been declining in recent years due to changing customer preferences, a perceived decline in quality in top brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, and a growing resale market led by sites like The RealReal and Vestaire Collective.
