Where To Shop Now

Where to shop in Dallas right now: 10 must-hit stores for June

For this month's Where To Shop, we explore an eclectic mix of shops that have popped up around town, from makeup and skincare for the ladies to suits for the gents to home decor for anyone who wants to turn a house into a sanctuary.

Bluemercury
This luxury, one-stop beauty shop has opened its first Texas location in Highland Park Village (with another coming to Southlake in the fall). It offers more than 90 skincare and cosmetics brands like Laura Mercier, Nars and its signature M-61 brand, along with a laundry list of spa services. Bet you can't walk out empty-handed.

Elaine Turner
The Texas designer, whom we love for her shoes and accessories, has added clothes to the mix. The spring 2015 collection includes easy-to-wear separates for every body type in multiple silhouettes, including kaftan-inspired dresses, tunic tops, and chic pajama-style pants and shorts.

Jan Barboglio Warehouse
The Dallas designer is holding a sale at her Design District warehouse nicknamed "Beauty of the Fire," as a nod to last year's fire at the Jan Barboglio facility in Mexico. Dallas shoppers have a limited-time opportunity to own her collectibles, furnishings and decor at a major discount, including tableware, lighting accessories, mirrors, tables and chairs. Also shop 20 years of products that have never been seen before. The collection is entirely handmade with forged iron, blown glass, wax castings and more. The sale runs June 11-13.

Opportunity Market
This fair trade store in the Bishop Arts District has reopened after a big renovation. It is connected to approximately a thousand global and local causes, and every item, down to the materials and the beads, have meaning. We dig the jewelry and the stories behind the women who make it.

Paper Destiny
Frisco shoppers in need of a heartfelt card or good set of stationery have a new option with the opening of this boutique at Stonebriar Centre, the third of its kind and the first in Texas. Paper Destiny also has a selection of gifts and offers gift-wrapping services.

Peloton
On June 4, NorthPark Center debuts this showroom dedicated to at-home fitness and on-demand spin classes. Peloton has transformed the at-home fitness experience by creating a bike that merges high design with modern technology to provide access to live streaming and on-demand classes by top instructors. The bike costs $1,995 and customers pay $39 a month for unlimited live streaming and on-demand rides out of the New York City studio.

Set & Co.
Interior designer Jennifer Littke has opened a seriously stunning home decor shop in Oak Cliff. The store features textiles, cutlery, handmade ceramics and more. If you're in need of a housewarming gift for a new neighbor, they can whip up the most beautiful gift box you ever did see.

Shinola
Detroit-based accessories brand Shinola opened its first Texas outpost in downtown Plano last month. Whatever you are in the market for — watches, leather goods, even bicycles — you can be sure that these products are made in America, and made well.

Suitsupply West Village
This European brand is moving into Uptown to dress our businessmen. The store claims to offer real suiting for real men that really fits, at great prices that compromise neither quality nor fabric.

The Loveliest
Sisters Britni and Kelsey Wood and their mother, Joni, opened the loveliest (pun intended) little shop in Uptown, focusing on textiles, embroidering and monogramming. The shop has 120 colors of thread and 40 monograms, and the in-house embroidery machine enables them to turn out a monogram on the spot.

Charleston-based personalized jewelry brand Hart is debuting its first Texas boutique in Dallas, and it couldn't have picked a better spot than the bustling Knox Street district.

The boutique will open Saturday, August 29 at 3212 Knox St., marking the company's fifth retail location nationwide, after stores in Charleston, New York, Nashville, and Nantucket.

According to a release, the Dallas shop will offer Hart's (officially styled HART) popular collection of talismans, chains, cords, bezel jewelry, earrings, and gemstone strands, designed to be mixed and layered. The brand is particularly known for personalized jewelry, with shoppers able to work one-on-one with a member of the Hart team to select symbols and talismans for a custom piece.

The Dallas location will also carry a collection of pieces created specifically for the Texas market, the owners say.

For the store's design, Hart worked with Dallas firm Burkle Creative, which specializes in residential, hospitality, and retail interiors.

"Hart has built a brand around meaningful pieces that tell a story, so our approach was to create a retail environment that feels equally personal," says Javier Burkle, Burkle Creative principal and creative director, in the release. "We wanted the Dallas store to honor Hart's Charleston heritage while embracing the spirit of Texas, blending their unique character and a sense of discovery throughout the space.

"The result is a store that feels like stepping into the home of a well-traveled collector, where every detail invites customers to explore and connect with the brand."

The Dallas opening follows Hart's move into a permanent New York flagship on Bleecker Street in the West Village.

"Dallas has one of the most stylish, confident, and individualistic customer bases in the country," says Hart Hagerty, Hart chief creative officer. "We've been inspired by the Dallas woman for years, her boldness, her sense of self, her commitment to dressing with intention. We are so excited to finally be here."

Curry Hagerty, Hart's CEO, said Dallas has been a hot market for the brand online and through local wholesale partners Clover and St. Bernard. Now they're bringing everything directly to Dallas shoppers.

"Dallas has consistently been one of our top markets for online sales," Hagerty says. "We also have strong wholesale relationships already in the market through Clover and St. Bernard, so we know this customer and she knows us. Opening in Dallas was less a question of if and more a question of when."

Hart's new store will be part of the Knox Street shopping and dining district, near the Katy Trail and surrounded by more than 70 shops and restaurants.

A grand opening event will take place Saturday, August 29 beginning at 10 am. The first 50 people will receive a custom Hart Dallas tote, custom bandana, and $50 gift card. A latte art cart will be on site to supply sustenance.

Once fully open, the Dallas boutique will be open 10 am-7 pm Monday-Saturday and 10 am-6 pm Sunday.
