Where to Shop Now

Where to shop in Dallas right now: 6 must-hit stores for June

Shop the Lancôme x Chiara Ferragni limited-edition makeup collection at Nordstrom starting June 13.

Summer in Dallas is all about taking it easy in the heat, and with that philosophy in mind, this month's shopping list is short and sweet. Whether you need a slammin' new bathing suit for vacation or a great gift for Father's Day, here are some ideas for the days ahead. And who can resist a little luxury shopping? Even if it is just window shopping.

Chiara Ferragni x Lancôme at Nordstrom
On June 13, Nordstrom launches an exclusive partnership with Lancôme and digital entrepreneur Chiara Ferragni. The limited-edition makeup collection pays homage to the global style icon with the use of her signature, iconic eye logo design. Chiara’s personal Lancôme picks were used to create her favorite lifestyle looks for the collection consisting of The Chiara Lifestyle Palette ($55), three limited edition lacquers ($26), drama mascara ($28), and more. The Lancôme x Chiara collection is available in all Nordstrom locations and online.

Dallas Running Company
If Dad's a runner, he needs the royal treatment for Father's Day. A $100 gift card purchase gets recipients a custom fit appointment, performance socks to go with their shoe selection, and a lifestyle T-shirt. A quick trip to the new Shops at Legacy store might just make you Dad's favorite.

Dior
Unless you have been hiding under a (very unfashionable) rock, you've heard about the Dior: From Paris to the World exhibit showing this summer at the Dallas Museum of Art. Why not continue the Dior state of mind post exhibition with a little shopping at the boutique in Highland Park Village. We are swooning over the Mitzah scarves ($190) and the woven J’Adior bracelets, which come in a set of two ($390).

Everything But Water
Those on the lookout for a killer bathing suit in anticipation for your summer travels would be doing yourself a disservice not to check out the newly renovated boutique at Preston Center. And while there is also a smaller NorthPark Center shop, we are partial to this location because of its selection, space, and overall customer service experience.

Plant Bar at Flea Style
The Deep Ellum shop recently celebrated its first anniversary on the Dallas retail scene with a new addition. Located on the outdoor patio, the store now features a 900 square foot plant bar allowing people to create their own succulent, plants, and cactus arrangements or grab a plant and go. Plants come in vintage pots (of course) that are decorated with shells and crystals and range in price from $9-$75.

Saint Laurent
The first of the month was a fresh beginning for this French design house, which opened a store at NorthPark Center. Located on level one, this light and bright boutique is now Saint Laurent's only Dallas store after they closed their spot in Highland Park Village earlier this year. Shoppers will find women’s and men’s ready-to-wear apparel, leather goods, shoes, jewelry, and eyewear, all under the Saint Laurent logo.

Dallas' once-a-year Salvation Army fashion show sale is a shopper must

Salvation Army

The actual sale will probably not be this color-coded.

It's one of the hottest sales of the year and it's happening in Dallas on May 9-10: It's the After-Sale hosted by the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary, featuring designer clothing, shoes, and accessories at a highly discounted price.

This annual event has been called one of Dallas’ best kept secrets: a designer warehouse sale featuring new and gently worn clothes from the city’s best dressed closets and local boutiques. Featured pieces include designers such as Carolina Herrera, Ulla Johnson, Marc Jacobs and more.

It's part of the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary’s Fashion Show & Luncheon which since its inception in 1993 has raised more than $16 million for The Salvation Army of North Texas.

This year’s Fashion Show & Luncheon took place on May 6 at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and included a seated lunch and runway show featuring designer labels donated from Dallas’ most admirable closets and boutiques. Patrons were able to shop from The Chic Boutique or purchase runway items through a silent auction, with proceeds supporting The Salvation Army.

Dallas Women’s Auxiliary President Laura Downing and founding Emeritus Auxiliary member Margot Perot honored Nancy Dedman with the namesake Margot Perot Service Award. Millie Cooper, whose leadership and legacy have inspired countless women to service, was recognized as the Legacy Award recipient. The inaugural Love in Action Award was presented to Toni Turner for her commitment to making the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary and the Fashion Show & Luncheon a success.

“Each year, the Fashion Show & Luncheon serves as a positive reminder of the immense generosity of our advocates, partners, and donors,” said Major Dawn McFarland, area commander of The Salvation Army of North Texas. “It’s truly special to see North Texans come together for such a remarkable event, all in the name of service. We invite those who were unable to attend to come out for our After Sale. Every dollar makes a difference, and what better way to show support than by sprucing up your wardrobe!”

The Fashion Show After Sale will take place at 9216 Harry Hines Blvd. May 9-10, from 10 am-6 pm and feature gently and never-worn women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, as well as shoes, handbags, and accessories at discounted prices — donated from coveted closets and boutiques in North Texas.
