Where to shop in Dallas right now: 8 must-hit stores for March

Is that it, winter? Are you done? Or are we experiencing a "Fool's Winter" where we think its almost over, but there's a little something special left under the coldest season's sleeve? Only time will tell, but there is nothing that we like more than planning ahead.

This month's Where to Shop column is getting you ready for patio season with sundresses, bathing suits, and even upping your plant plan of action. We guarantee perusing this list is going to result in some serious shopping, be it virtual or in person. Consider yourself warned.

Cover Swim x La Vie Style House
Are you one of the many Dallasites who simply cannot get enough of La Vie Style House? The darling duo behind the brand recently collaborated with Cover Swim on a bikini, floral zip swimsuit, and a caftan so that you don't have to part with the look when you hit the water this swim season. The pieces start at $200.

Donald Robertson x Barrington for Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center
Acclaimed Dallas-based artist Donald Robertson and Dallas bag and accessory brand Barrington have teamed up to create a line of limited-edition, colorful, longhorn-themed items that will benefit Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center. The collection includes a wristlet, laptop case, wine tote, book jacket, cosmetic kit, and an array of totes and bags. Prices range from about $48 to $260, and 15 percent of sales are being given to DCAC. The agency helps to improve the lives of abused children in Dallas County. Shop the entire collection here.

LoveShackFancy
If you've strolled Highland Park Village lately, it is impossible to miss the most gorgeous window display in all of Dallas. This new romantic boutique is located next to Carolina Herrera and is the brand's first Texas shop. What we love about this shop is, in addition to clothing and home goods, the brand is also collaborating with local brands (think City Boots) for a more personalized Dallas shopping experience. Read more about it in this story.

Market
This eclectic and perfectly curated Highland Park Village boutique is always up to something. Collab after collab come to this store for a shopping experience that is always exciting and never duplicated. Case and point? The store is hosting a Kimberly McDonald jewelry pop-up with an in person appearance happening at the end of March. Shoppers can preview and purchase jewelry, home, resort wear, and table top. Inquire about private shopping appointments.

Noble 31
This Texas-based brand is founded by best friends and sisters Madi Davis and Mackenzie Moore, who want to inspire women through the way they dress. Another big bonus? They want these looks to take you through your day without having to stop to change. The brand's latest collection is inspired by the outdoor activities that have saved us over the last year of quarantine, from being outside with family to catching epic sunsets. The pieces are bringing customers bright colors, texture, and bold lines. Shop the collection here.

The Plant Project
Ready to get some green goodness in to your life after a long, cold winter? Visit the first Dallas plant shop owned by a Black woman, at 2310 Routh St., and feast your eyes on plants, planters, plantbiotics, candles, and more by Bree Clarke. Is this the year that you finally get that fiddle leaf fig to thrive? Girl, good luck.

Tootsies Temporary Location
The recent Dallas snow and ice storms tried to slow Tootsies' stride; however, a burst pipe and a flooded space were not going to keep the favorite women's boutique from selling stunning styles to shoppers. The store is temporarily operating under normal business hours, 11 am-6 pm Monday through Saturday, at a temporary shop located at 8416 Preston Rd. You'll find it next to Bachendorf's.

Uncommon James
Kristin Cavallari and her lifestyle brand known for jewelry, apparel, and home goods have reminded fairly hush hush about details surrounding the opening of the Dallas Deep Ellum location. But an Instagram post by the brand has confirmed that a grand opening party will take place March 27 at 2618 Main St. "In order to provide the best experience and ensure a covid safe environment, shopping will be by reservation only," the post says. Visit the website for more details.

Where to shop in Dallas right now: 7 zany new stores to check out

Thrifted Threads

Thrifted Threads chill vibe

With the holidays on the horizon, shopping is on the rise. This November edition of Where to Shop, CultureMap's monthly roundup of new shops, sales, and alternative shopping, has five unique new openings, ranging from fashion to skin care to sports apparel.

The roundup also includes two non-traditional entries, including a new benefits program at an area mall, and a place to get your passport — in case you're planning on shopping abroad.

Here's where to shop in Dallas for November:

Baseballism
Baseball camp that transformed into an off-field baseball clothing brand is now open at Allen Premium Outlets. The store offers baseball-themed clothing, hats, and accessories. Their collection features collaborations with several big league names, including MLB, Babe Ruth, Vin Scully and Field of Dreams. Caps and hoodies are especially popular items, such as the Junior's Silhouette for $36 or the short Sleeve Yankees hoodie for $79.

Firewheel Town Center
Garland shopping center is in the giving spirit with its latest Shop, Dine & Save program. Visitors can shop or dine at select stores, including Buckle, DSW, and Razzoo's, Ferah Tex-Med Kitchen, and receive a $25 Simon giftcard when they spend $150 or more. To get the giftcard, receipts have to be shown at the mall management office and include at least one shop and one restaurant from the same day. The special lasts through November 27.

Hill House
Originally a bedding company that launched in 2016, Hill House has extended their collection to offer home, accessories, baby & kids, bridal, and apparel. They opened a location in NorthPark Center at the end of October — their first in Texas and only their fifth store. Hill House is best known for the "Nap Dress," a flowing dress made for day or night wear. There's also a short version of the dress, such as the Scarlett Long Sleeve Mini, a plaid dress for $188. Just in time for season, they've launched holiday pajamas, featuring pajama sets, robes, and children's sets.

Glossier
Skincare, beauty, and fragrance concept just opened a 1,000 square-foot store at NorthPark Center, featuring its trademark whimsical displays that one might mistake for an art supply or paint store. They sell fragrances, scented skin creams, balms, cleansers, moisturizers, makeup, eyelash curlers, and other beauty products, a little on the pricey side, but they make the shopping experience fun with an immersive shopping experience. That stuff doesn't come for free. This is their 12 location in the U.S., joining Atlanta, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, DC, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, NYC, Philadelphia, and Seattle.

Rally House
Sports apparel chain opened a location at Rockwall Crossing Shopping Center in Rockwall, with merchandise — headwear, accessories, collectibles — dedicated to Dallas-area teams including Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Dallas Stars, and college teams like the Texas Longhorns, Texas Tech Red Raiders, and Texas A&M Aggies. They also offer locally-themed apparel and accessories that celebrate Dallas destinations and landmarks, such as an Uscape Pom Mens Knit Hat with a graphic of the Dallas skyline for $30 or a long sleeve Dallas sweatshirt for $42. This is the 22nd location in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Thrifted Threads
Houston-based vintage clothing reseller just made its debut in Deep Ellum at 2646 Main St. #620, next to Vidorra. Thrifted Threads was founded by Laith Awad, who began reselling clothes in 2017, initially as an online store until he opened a location in 2022 in Houston's Montrose District when he was only 18. He opened a second store in College Station in 2023. Deep Ellum is the third. They're known vintage apparel from jerseys to sweatshirts and hats, as well as collections of color-sorted clothes from the 70s to the 2000s. It's more than a store, with arcade games that don't require coins to play, a motorcycle display, and ice cream.

Collin County Passport Office
If you're "shopping" for a passport, a passport office just reopened in the Collin County Courthouse at 2100 Bloomdale Rd., McKinney. The new passport acceptance office will initially be appointment only, with bookings available through the District Clerk's website. Plans are underway to introduce same-day and walkup services in the near future.
