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

It's a busy, busy month for the shoppers of Dallas. And whether you are interested in popping into new stores, exploring one-day shopping events, or maybe a little bit of both, your cup of options runneth over.

Avant Garden
Todd Fiscus recently opened the doors to his stunning new store at The Shops of Highland Park in between Celebrity Bakery and Flywheel Sports. You can expect the same brilliant floral design and a carefully selected collection of home accessories.

Flea Style at Dallas Market Center
This shopping extravaganza features more than 60,000 square foot of shopping space and 220 vendors at Dallas Market Hall. Some of our favorites featured include Blaine Bowen, Katie Craig Art, Things Like Us, and many more. The October 21 event lasts from 9 am to 5 pm, and tickets start at $5.

Garrett Leight California Optical
This optical outpost opens its latest store in Knox-Henderson on October 20. To celebrate the Dallas opening, GLCO is releasing limited-edition custom, made-in-America optical ($375) and sun ($395) frames in a beautiful shade of maroon.

Indie Beauty Expo at Neiman Marcus NorthPark
This special event is happening October 20-21, and IBE team members will be on hand offering customers products from over 15 under-the-radar beauty brands, with many faces behind the brands on site to educate customers. Featured labels include Mahalo Care, Luxe Botanics, Swiss Smile, Beneath Your Mask, and more.

Talulah & Hess
Do not let the month pass without stopping into the new store that is bigger and better than ever. Located at the corner of Skillman and Live Oak, this darling design-inspired home accessories shop is the perfect place to pick up a gift for friends, babies, or yourself. There are also, as always, endless options for decorating your home. East Dallas got a winner when this store decided to move and expand its inventory.

The Tot
The folks at Levi’s recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of their trucker jacket by creating a limited supply of one-of-a-kind kids' jackets. And because they know a good thing when they see it, they chose this Dallas-based children's boutique as the exclusive children's retailer to sell them. The Tot also partnered with Alex Israel to create additional jackets that are signed by the multimedia artist, with all proceeds going to pediatric AIDS research initiatives and the Dallas Museum of Art. Shop the jackets online.

Facebook/SkinSpirit

SkinSpirit is now open inside Nordstrom at NorthPark Center.

A new medical aesthetics clinic is ready to plump and pamper clients inside Nordstrom at NorthPark Center: SkinSpirit, which offers treatments including Botox, Dysport, dermal fillers, facials, laser treatments, and microneedling, is now open in the Dallas department store.

The new clinic marks SkinSpirit's fifth location in Dallas-Fort Worth, following locations at Preston Royal, West Village, Left Bank Fort Worth, and Plano (which was the first to open locally, in 2021).

The NorthPark clinic offers SkinSpirit's full range of aesthetic treatments, including facials, BOTOX Cosmetic, dermal fillers, advanced laser treatments, and microneedling with regenerative catalyst serums tailored to individual skin goals, according to a release.

Among its newest offerings is the SkinSpirit Laser Facial, a 30-minute, no-downtime laser treatment designed to brighten, smooth, and refresh the skin while stimulating collagen production over time. The treatment is positioned as an option before a special event or for those looking to try laser treatments without much downtime, they say.

The clinic also offers SkinSpirit's regenerative catalyst serums, including a new PDRN treatment that can be added to microneedling. According to the release, the treatment is designed to enhance skin renewal, support collagen production, and accelerate recovery.

The NorthPark opening continues a nationwide partnership between SkinSpirit and Nordstrom that brings medical aesthetics into the department store's beauty offerings.

"Our customers trust us to deliver the best in beauty products and services, and our partnership with SkinSpirit continues to raise that bar," says Rachel Eichen, Vice President and Divisional Merchandise Manager of Beauty at Nordstrom, in the release. "As medical aesthetic services become an increasingly integral part of our customers' beauty routines, SkinSpirit's expert team and exceptional range of services allow us to bring them even more seamless access to premium care. We're excited for the Nordstrom customer to discover SkinSpirit when they visit us in Dallas."

Lynn Heublein, CEO and co-founder of SkinSpirit, adds that Dallas was a natural fit for the company's expansion.

"Our partnership with Nordstrom continues to demonstrate what's possible when two brands share a commitment to exceptional client experiences," she says. "Dallas is one of the country's most vibrant beauty markets, and we are excited to expand our presence alongside a partner that shares our passion for innovation, education, and personalized care. Together, we are making it easier than ever for clients to access industry-leading aesthetic treatments from providers they can trust."

SkinSpirit was founded in 2002 and now has more than 60 locations across California, New York, Arizona, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Oregon. The company describes itself as a provider of medical aesthetic skin, face, and body treatments.

To celebrate the NorthPark opening, SkinSpirit will host a grand-opening event on September 17. Guests can get personalized consultations and watch live treatment demonstrations. Those who book their first SkinSpirit service during the event will receive 20 percent off.

The NorthPark clinic is open now at 8687 North Central Expressway, Ste. 2000, with appointments available through the website. It is open 10 am-6 pm Monday-Sunday.
