Top Shops for February

Where to shop in Dallas right now: 7 must-hit stores for February

Because the winter weather refuses to leave, we're eagerly anticipating springtime. To prepare, we're clearing our closets to make room for a sea of pretty patterns and color.

This month we have a mix of new, refreshed and relocated spots. Here's where to shop in February:

BelAir: A Lifestyle Boutique
After a year as a home-decor haven, Shannon Van Beber has rechristened her little cottage a "lifestyle boutique" to reflect the addition of fashion and accessories. Van Beber's sister, Melanie McDougal, sources clothing lines unique to Dallas such as Christine Alcalay, Calvin Rucker and Rabens Saloner to complement the existing stock of eclectic treasures.

Diane von Furstenberg
Give your wardrobe a splash of color with DVF's limited-edition Pop Wraps, a collection of dresses inspired by Andy Warhol. To celebrate 40 years of the wrap dress, von Furstenberg combined Warhol's iconic prints with her classic designs. Available online and at DVF stores only, the printed dresses, tops and accessories are expected to sell out soon.

Ellis Hill
Now open in Highland Park Village, new paper store Ellis Hill boasts a lovely collection of greeting cards, stationery and customizable gifts. Lines include Sugar Paper, Dallas-based Bell'Invito, Dauphine Press and Crane.

Nardos Imam
Wedding bells in your future? Visit Nardos Imam bridal studio, the latest addition to the luxury shops on Sherry Lane. Founded by SMU grad Mackenzie Brittingham Sumrall and Nardos Imam, a former in-house designer at Stanley Korshak, the shop features original bridal gown designs created from imported laces and fabrics. If you have something specific in mind for your special day, you can work with the girls to create your own gown.

Nordstrom NorthPark
Inspired by her childhood favorites and, of course, Sex in the City, Sarah Jessica Parker is launching her new SJP Collection at Nordstrom NorthPark and online beginning February 28. The collection includes 25 shoes in varying colors and heel heights, as well as a few handbags and a classic A-line trench coat. Meet SJP herself at NorthPark on March 9.

Target
We're excited for the new collaboration between Target and London designer Peter Pilotto, who pushes fashion limits by combining color and innovative prints with classic structure and design. Find the playful collection of Pilotto's designs — dresses, skirts, swimwear and handbags — in store and online starting February 9.

Ylang 23
Joanne and Charles Teichman's beloved jewelry store has moved from Galleria Dallas to the Plaza at Preston Center. Starting February 8, Ylang 23 will showcase the same whimsical and contemporary designs by Cathy Waterman, Jennifer Meyer, Todd Reed, Irene Neuwirth and more.

Float therapy spa Altered States Wellness ready to relax Richardson

Altered States Wellness

A new wellness experience is coming to Richardson. Called Altered States Wellness, it's a float therapy studio and spa founded in Coppell which is opening a location at 212 W Campbell Rd. in a small shopping center just west of US-75.

This will be the second location, and according to a release, it will open in January.

It will offer a variety of options including Float Therapy, Red Light Therapy, Infrared Sauna's, Cold Plunges, PEMF Mats, and Compression Therapy — all designed to help clients de-stress, recover, and rejuvenate in a therapeutic yet luxurious setting.

Altered States was founded in 2017 by JoJo and Kyle Struebing, who share a commitment to health and wellness and a desire to empower others towards a similar path. The couple were seeking a natural lifestyle that included eschewing alcohol or reliance on pharmaceuticals, and created Altered States as a sanctuary to escape, recharge, and face life's challenges with renewed vitality.

Amenities include:

Immersive Themed Float Rooms: From the tranquil vibes of the Grotto to the psychedelic Neon Glow Room, each float is designed to transport you to a different world.

Spacious Float Cabins: Unlike traditional float pods, these roomy cabins provide the full sensory deprivation experience without feelings of claustrophobia.

Private and Luxurious Therapy Spaces: Each room features a private Vitamin C shower, premium bath and beauty essentials, and convenient onsite dressing rooms for the ultimate relaxation experience.

Altered States Wellness also offers a line of vitamins and supplements, utilizing the power of humic and fulvic to support optimal health and vitality.

Floats Start at $79, and memberships start at $49 per month, which gets you your choice of a 60-minute Float, Fire & Ice, Infrared Sauna, Cold Plunge, or The Lab. A minimum commitment of 3 months is required, after which you can continue on a month-to-month basis.

Richardson will be a larger location with a versatile space called the Dreamscape Lounge, for girls' nights, spa days, birthday celebrations, brainstorming sessions, and date nights. This expansion highlights the couple's dedication to creating community-centered wellness destinations that go beyond traditional spa offerings.

“We’re especially excited about the larger space this location offers,” JoJo says. “Our goal has always been to create spaces where people can not only reset but also connect, celebrate, and unlock their full potential.”
