May is in full swing, and we have a lot of openings to celebrate on the shopping front. From the highly anticipated reopening of RH on Knox Street to a sweet, sophisticated spring capsule collection created by Dallas' entertaining queen, the list is well rounded and ready to help you maximize your time in retail therapy.
Clean Origin
Ethical, eco-friendly lab-grown diamonds are the hot gemstone trend, and Clean Origin specializes in them. The company, founded in 2017 by three jewelry executives, just opened its first retail concept in Frisco's Stonebriar Centre. The shop carries some of their best-selling products, including their diamond studs, priced below $1,000 for a 1 carat set, and their Petite Diamond Bracelet in yellow gold. Shoppers will find hundreds of lab-created diamonds, allowing customers to custom build a ring with their in-store design consultants. Don't miss the rare 3-carat red diamond, appropriately named "Aphrodite."
Hari Mari
Just in time for summer, the Dallas-based premium flip-flop brand is opening its flagship store at 3213 Knox St. on Thursday, May 13. Besides carrying flip-flops galore, they're also debuting a new line of apparel and accessories, including belts, hats, T-shirts, and windbreakers. As always, the socially conscious company will give one percent of sales to fight the battle against pediatric cancer through its Flops Fighting Cancer initiative.
Kimberly Whitman for Antonio Melani
Dallas' hostess with the mostess has launched a darling spring capsule collection with Dillard's that's as colorful and fun as her famous tablescapes. Available only while supplies last, the collection includes figure-flattering dresses, shoes, accessories, and little girls' tops and dresses (inspired by her daughter). Sizes run from XS-XL and 0-16, with the girls line sized S-XL and 2T-6X. Learn more about it here.

Shirts, pants, shorts, suitcases, duffels, wallets, and even buttery leather golf bags made by skilled Italian artisans fill the shelves.
RH Dallas
The former Restoration Hardware on Knox Street is finally back in business after a complete transformation into RH Dallas. The newly opened space now includes three stores and a stunning rooftop restaurant and wine bar. Interior design darlings will be excited that there is a 5,000-square-foot studio on the second floor dedicated for professional design services.
