Congratulations, Dallas. You made it. You endured 90-degree temps well into October, but finally, blessedly, fall has arrived. Now that we’ve “fallen back,” it’s time to indulge in a little retail therapy (because you’ll freeze in summer’s tanks and shorts), pampering and party planning.
The Shops at Park Lane is your destination for smart luxury and stylish fun, and we’re sharing the inside scoop on the best fall fashion trends from top brands (at brag-worthy prices); salon services that pamper and primp without breaking the bank; and the décor, food and party space you need for your upcoming holiday soirée. Read on for tips on how to get the most out of your shopping trip.
Fall Faves and Holiday Sparkle
Cozy knits, burgundy and fringe top our list of must-have fall trends for her, while we’re seeking out plaid, sharp blazers and polished pullovers for him. It’s never too soon to start thinking about your holiday party look, and we’re craving flirty frocks, statement coats and plenty of sparkling extras.
Find great deals on the designers and brands you love at Bloomingdale’s The Outlet, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5th, St. Bernard Sports Outlet, Nordstrom Rack, and Old Navy. Make Charming Charlie your go-to for baubles galore. Tip: The accessories outpost is currently stocking modern takes on the backpack that looks remarkably like that Milly one you’re been pining for on your favorite fashion blog.
Top off your look with a show-stopping topper from Koslow’s Furs, and for a boost of fashion inspiration, check out The Shops at Park Lane’s “Fall Favorites” and “Holiday Sparkle” Pinterest boards.
Big Primpin’
Finish off your newfound fall look or glam up for that holiday party at Aveda Institute at The Shops at Park Lane. Tip: Whether you’re looking for a little extra “pop” or a full-blown makeover, the Aveda team is at your service with a full menu of cuts, color, makeup and nail services at deeply discounted prices.
For the perfect finishing touch, stock up on lashes, tools, fragrances and more at ULTA.
Party On
Be the hostess with the mostest this holiday season with a little help from The Shops at Park Lane. Reserve a private room at Grimaldi’s or Gordon Biersch; rent a lane at Bowl & Barrel; or eat, drink and be merry at new hot spot Bar Louie.
For those that prefer to “Ho, Ho, Ho!” at home, stock up on sensational décor and tabletop must-haves at HomeGoods. Parties have a way of traveling outside, so find fire pits and coolers at Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Whole Foods has your holiday spread handled, from dips to desserts, libations and beyond. It also offers catering and personal shopping services. Tip: Mention this page on the Whole Foods website, and your first personal shopping experience is free.
