The Airstream doors will be open from 10 am to 6 pm daily at 47 Highland Park Village. On September 23, 15 percent of purchases will be donated to Mommies in Need, a nonprofit that supports parents experiencing a health crisis.

    Jojo Mommy
    Have littles going back to school? You would be remiss not to check out the most darling new children's shop in Dallas, located at 7801 Inwood Rd. Entrepreneur, Realtor, and style maven Kari Schlegel Kloewer has stocked the store with adorable additions to any child's classic wardrobe. Think jon-jons, bubbles, sweaters, pajamas, holiday wear, and lots of shoes. There are toys and books, too. The boutique is open 10 am-6 pm Monday through Saturday.

    Kate Weiser Chocolate
    Pumpkin spice lovers are serious about their fall flavors, so they will be delighted to know that Kate Weiser has officially rolled out her pumpkin cheesecake bon bon to welcome the season. Pick up a six-piece box starting at $16 (while supplies last) at all three DFW locations: Trinity Groves, NorthPark Center, and The Shops at Clearfork.

    Lands' End
    The brand that exudes Americana has opened its first Dallas standalone store at The Shops at Park Lane. The shop features the apparel and accessories for women, men, and children that its catalog fans love, and fuses a brick-and-mortar boutique with a digital shopping experience to create a "hybrid" shopping outing. This is the premier place to grab swimsuits, dresses, shorts, and a select assortment of school uniforms. Browse the selection in store and view even more of the collection via kiosks set up in a special digital area. It's open now in the former Charming Charlie space at 8190 Park Ln, Ste. 350.

    Psycho Bunny
    The edgy menswear shop, known best for its knitwear, has opened its first Texas pop-up at NorthPark Center on level one in the old Tory Sport space. Featuring the brand's signature emblem — a crazed rabbit and crossbones that requires 4,000 stitches — pieces are created with an emphasis on quality. Drop in during normal business hours — 10 am-8 pm Monday through Saturday and 12-6 pm Sunday — to stock up on tees, polos, activewear, and other essentials for men and boys. It might just become a permanent addition to the shopping center, NorthPark says.

    Iconic Marilyn Monroe 'Happy Birthday, Mr. President' dress comes to Dallas

    Marilyn Monroe's iconic 'Happy Birthday, Mr. President' dress is going on display at Ripley's in Grand Prairie.

    The dress worn for the most famous (or, infamous) rendition of "Happy Birthday" in American history is going on display in Dallas-Fort Worth. Marilyn Monroe's iconic "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" gown will be showcased at Ripley's Believe It or Not! in Grand Prairie for a limited time, beginning Friday, June 5.

    The display coincides with what would have been the legendary actress and pop culture icon's 100th birthday. Monroe was born June 1, 1926 as Norma Jeane Mortenson.

    The sparkling gown became part of entertainment lore on May 19, 1962, when Monroe wore it while singing "Happy Birthday" to U.S. President John F. Kennedy at his 45th birthday gala and fundraiser at Madison Square Garden. She shimmied onstage, shed a white fur coat to reveal the sparkly skin-tight dress, and delivered a sultry, breathy "Happy Birthday."

    Afterwards, JFK said to the crowd, "I can now retire from politics after having had Happy Birthday sung to me in such a sweet, wholesome way."

    Many historians believe Kennedy and Monroe had a romantic relationship.

    Notably, Ripley's in Grand Prairie is just about 12.5 miles from the JFK Memorial and Sixth Street Museum in downtown Dallas.

    Designed by French-born costume designer Jean Louis, the sheer dress was embellished with more than 6,000 hand-sewn rhinestones and created the illusion that Monroe was wearing almost nothing at all — a daring fashion statement that helped cement the "Happy Birthday" moment in pop culture history.

    The dress is considered one of the most famous garments ever worn. In 2016, Ripley's purchased it for $4.8 million, a price that at the time made it the most expensive dress ever sold at auction.

    In 2022, they loaned it to Kim Kardashian to wear to the Met Gala. It was reportedly returned with some missing crystals and stretched seams.

    Visitors to the Grand Prairie museum will be able to see the gown up close, along with additional memorabilia tied to Monroe's life, career, and legacy, an an exhibition called "Happy 100th Birthday, Marilyn Monroe."

    "Marilyn Monroe remains one of the most recognizable icons in pop culture history," Ripley Entertainment regional manager Rachel Rotella said in a statement. "With visitors looking for unique experiences across North Texas this summer, this is a rare opportunity to see Marilyn Monroe's dress that represents one of the most unforgettable moments in Hollywood history."

    The Monroe display is included with regular admission to Ripley's, which features hundreds of oddities, artifacts, and interactive exhibits. The exhibit opens June 5 and will be on display for a limited time.
