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

This month, shopping in Dallas has a footloose and fancy-free vibe. From Johnny Was and Oliver Peoples opening at NorthParkCenter to Flea Style (finally) getting a brick-and-mortar home, there are plenty of cool boutiques and hot spots for filling up your shopping cart in June.

Fabiana Filippi
This gorgeous new NorthPark boutique will open June 9 on level one near Neiman Marcus. The Italian clothing line chose Dallas as its first shop in the Southwest and features handmade and exceptionally crafted creations ranging from coats and trousers to fine leather goods. We are lusting over the Rebecca Leather Bag in light gray. Could this be the new "it clutch" around town?

Flea Style
After this uber popular annual sale impressed Dallas and Houston year after year, owner Brittany Cobb finally decided to open a permanent shop on Deep Ellum's charming Commerce Street. The store's tagline is "handmade, vintage, one-of-a-kind," and vendors have to hit one of those three things, she says. The merchandise is all lifestyle-related, with a casual-chic hippie vibe: all perfectly faded jeans and macrame sweaters and slouchy canvas bags. There also are culinary items like hand-carved wooden spoons, lighting, textiles, pillows, art prints, and furniture.

Forty Five Ten
Despite the sad news that Forty Five Ten is closing its popular T Room on McKinney Avenue on June 30, new initiatives and events go on. Koh Gen Do is having an artist and spa event rom 10 am-5 pm June 8-9, where royal massage mini cleanses and makeup consultations will be offered. Barton Perreira is also having an eyewear trunk show, June 14-16, and will offer a free tote with eyewear purchase. Also, the store has announced some new desginers it will carry for pre-fall/fall: Alexander McQueen, Molly Goddard (exclusive in Texas), Partow (exclusive in Dallas), Lemair (exclusive in Dallas), Rodarte (exclusive in Dallas), Play by Comme Des Garcons, Zoe Jordan (exclusive in Dallas), Kassl (exclusive in Texas), and the Moncler Genius project. It will carry four of the Moncler collections: 7 Moncler Fragment Hiroshi Fujiwara (men’s collection), 6 Moncler Noir Kei Ninomiya (women’s collection), 5 Moncler Craig Green (men’s collection), and 4 Moncler Simone Rocha (women’s collection).

Johnny Was
Look out for this beautiful boho brand to open June 15 in NorthPark Center on level one near Nordstrom (in the old Talbot's space). This brand creates clothes and accessories that embrace a California lifestyle but speak to a global vision. Think tunics, tank dresses, kaftans, and other pieces made for summer vacation. Any wanderlusting women looking for a new favorite place to shop should stop in.

Leatherology at Sweet Tooth Hotel
The iconic leather goods brand has partnered with artists Rob Wilson, Jeremy Biggers, Jojo Chuang, and Shamsy Roomiani for an exlcusive collection of hand-painted designs on the their most coveted products (Parker Backpack, Meadow Double Zip Camera Bag, Medium Pouches, etc). Each of the Leatherology bags are sold in person at the experiential art and retail pop-up Sweet Tooth Hotel in Dallas while supplies last.

Veronica Beard
The brand recently announced a six-piece capsule collection with Kate Schelter's signature watercolor illustrations. The Veronica Beard x Kate Schelter collection starts at $168 and bridges the label's passion for both art and fashion through dresses, jackets, and cotton tees.

Oliver Peoples
The sophisticated, California-based brand is set to open up its first DFW boutique at NorthPark on June 8. Located on level one near Neiman Marcus and across from Williams-Sonoma, it will no doubt be the hottest place to snag a pair of designer specs. The 592-square-foot NorthPark boutique will carry a wide selection of sunglasses and optical glasses, with its signature vintage aesthetic, for women and men.

Hi Sugarplum! x Gibson Collection at Nordstrom
Dallas-area blogger Cassie Freeman of Hi Sugarplum! has collaborated with Gibson on a limited edition collection of women's apparel for Nordstrom, with pieces starting at just $39. The line is not sold in store (online only), and they'll be available just through the summer months. The mix-and-match pieces also wearable for many shapes and sizes and have a definite Texas-chic aesthetic.

FALL FÊTE

Dallas luxury boutique and Texas designer team up on new fall fashion line

Saint Bernard is teaming up with Houston-based designer Lyndsey Zorich for Love Note.

Dallas-born luxury boutique Saint Bernard is getting ready for fall with a new collection created alongside Houston style veteran Lyndsey Zorich. The fashion-forward retailer and the founder/designer of Mason's Daughter have teamed up to launch Love Note by Lyndsey Zorich, a new Saint Bernard-owned brand, that will roll out this fall.

Love Note officially launched on Thursday, September 10 at Saint Bernard stores in Dallas, Southlake, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, as well as online. Shoppers can expect a feminine collection with a playful take on everyday dressing for women who want to look put together, but not too serious.

Customers will have to be patient, though, because the entire collection won’t debut at once. Instead, the brand will roll out in a series of monthly drops, each with its own seasonal point of view.

The Kick Off is the first drop in September. It's a game day-inspired collection with pieces designed for fall sports and weekend road trips.

In October, The Lean In will debut with more feminine silhouettes, followed by Getting Comfortable, which focuses on the perfect layering pieces for Texas’ warm fall weather.

A longtime Saint Bernard shopper herself, Zorich's unique style and Texas perspective gave her a greater understanding of what Texas customers want. She was involved in everything from the creative direction and textile development to fabrication and production of the brand. The partnership is even more special, as Saint Bernard typically doesn't collaborate with local designers on its branded releases.

“Getting dressed has always been one of my favorite forms of self-expression, and Love Note allowed me to take that idea from concept all the way through the finished product,” said Zorich. "Saint Bernard felt like the right partner, because I genuinely understand and love their customers. Love Note is meant to bring a little more playfulness to getting dressed, pieces that feel personal, special, and bring joy to everyday life.”

According to director of owned brands for Saint Bernard, Ashleigh Goyer, collaborating with Zorich gave Saint Bernard a fresh new way to provide customers with something both recognizable and unexpected.

"She shares her perspective, her lifestyle, and her love of fashion, and she has an incredible ability to make getting dressed feel effortless and personal," said Goyer.
