    Where to shop

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

    Diana Oates
    Mar 21, 2023 | 2:26 pm

    Spring has sprung in Dallas, and that means tulips on every corner and pastel in every retail shop's window. Whether you like light and bright this time of year or keep your wardrobe neutral 24/7/365, there is as store on this list for you.

    Alexia Maria
    Luxury evening wear and bridal designer Alexia Maria recently held a trunk show at the Neiman Marcus Bridal Salon in Dallas, and it has us swooning over her Spring/Summer 2023 Wedding Wardrobe Collection. Originally from Mexico, the designer has an atelier in San Diego and sells her designs at Neiman Marcus, Saks, Over the Moon, and more. We love the go-big-or-go-home bows that adorn some of the dazzling designs.

    Allie + Bess
    With a new season comes new accessories, and Dallasites love supporting this local bangle brand that makes dressing up a little more fun. We specifically are into the brand's new necklace collections. Featuring a range of colors and materials, the collection makes it easier than ever to showcase your personality through luxe yet approachable jewelry. Our favorite? The Dakota necklace. Why? We are suckers for anything turquoise in color.

    Artwork for Humans Showroom and Boutique
    Dallas artist Jerod DTOX Davies, well-known for his murals around Dallas and album covers, has just opened a showroom in Deep Ellum to showcase his other passion: his fashion line, Artwork for Humans, which he calls "wearable art that upcycles clothing and uplifts the human spirit." Davies' garments have been favored by local musicians like Erykah Badu, who wore a sweatshirt he created for her at her recent birthday party. The showroom and boutique, at 3001 Canton St., is open Sunday afternoons for walk-ins and on Wednesdays by appointment. Read more about it in this story.

    Blue Nile
    Diamonds are a Dallas girl's best friend, and on NorthPark level one, near Macy's, there is a new mecca for meandering through the best of bling. Blue Nile showrooms provide shoppers with an opportunity to look, touch, and try on a superior selection of jewelry and engagement rings. Or, choose the custom route using the Build-Your-Own Diamond Jewelry Tool.

    Cappello
    It seems silly to remind everyone that the summers are really hot in Texas. That said, the sun’s not something you can combat without the right accessories. Enter the most perfect sun hat, both beautifully made and certified at UPF 50+. These hats block 95 percent of the sun’s harmful UV rays. The co-founders, Catherine Bankston and Erin Rabenhorst Davis, work with amazing artisans in Ecuador, ensuring that each hat is hand-woven and thus, unique. A vintage ribbon adds the perfect pop of color to a truly exceptional piece of wearable art. Shop them online.

    Christian Louboutin x Neiman Marcus - “A La Piscine”
    In time for swim season, Neiman Marcus has partnered with Christian Louboutin for an exclusive collection called “A La Piscine.” The collection features footwear and handbags in neon colors and splash print, as well as pet accessories, tumblers (gotta stay hydrated at the pool), t-shirts with hand woven details, and even limited-edition skateboards. A La Piscine is available online and at Neiman Marcus stores nationwide, including NorthPark, where shoppers will find an installation that transports them to a sunny Palm Springs day circa the ‘80s - think pool, bar, lounge chairs, grass, and floor-to-ceiling palm trees.

    Finley
    We love a Dallas-based brand that actually makes the clothing here in town, too. Finley — seen on racks at Neiman Marcus, Tootsies, and more — provides a great staple for the ever-changing Dallas wardrobe. Chilly? Add a cardigan and a belt bag and you’re off to car pool. Warm? Wear this breezy beauty with shorts and some Golden Goose sneakers. Really, really warm? Throw this over a white one-piece and drive as fast as you can to Cedar Creek Lake. The possibilities are endless.

    Shop Parker & Hyde's new woven collection for your new go-to mom, tennis, or everything bag.

    Parker and Hyde
    Dallas-based handbag creators Lauren and Zack McLarnon hit the Dallas-demand jackpot with the success of the Neoprene Collection that they first offered in 2020. And because the brand is all about growth, the new signature woven collection - with a lycra blend and contrasting weave - is poised to be their next big hit. Each tote comes with a matching pouch and detachable strap to transform a tote into a crossbody. Get ready to see these everywhere this summer in Dallas.

    Mizzen + Main
    The Dallas-based brand has launched a new retail experience after years of feedback from its customers. The redesigned, 1,200-square-foot space in West Village is all about community. Come in and shop, talk, drink, and stay a while. The vibe is small-scale lounge, and the products are as reliable as always. Grab a friend and go shop for the comfiest dress shirts in Dallas at 3699 McKinney Ave. #407.

    Moncler
    This French-founded brand is now headquartered in Italy and offering Highland Park Village shoppers the utmost in luxe, innovative outerwear. City life and nature expeditions have been married in a cohesive way, and the resulting pieces are on display at the now-open Dallas boutique.

    *Bonus Intel *

    We technically are only supposed to talk about things happening in the month of March; however, Highland Park Village is having its annual Spring Shopping Stroll kickoff on April 1, and we just couldn't let it pass without spreading the word. Happening from 10 am to 6 pm, it will include photos with live bunnies, face painting, balloon twisting, and endless store promotions. Some of our favorites include custom sketches by a fashion illustrator at Ralph Lauren and complimentary monogramming on in-store purchases as La Ligne. Be there or be oh-so-square!

    Dallas' legendary 'father of aerobics' Kenneth Cooper has new book

    Dallas' "father of aerobics" has new words of wisdom on fitness: Kenneth Cooper, MD, MPH, founder of the internationally renowned The Cooper Institute, a non-profit organization in Dallas dedicated to promoting health and wellness, has just released a new book. Called Grow Healthier as You Grow Older, it's a personal look at the history of the fitness revolution that Dr. Cooper himself inspired, along with a guide for preventive health and fitness and an account of his life dedicated to serving others.

    Cooper's 1968 book Aerobics, took a groundbreaking approach to health and lifestyle by focusing on preventive health versus treatment. It helped launch an industry that brought us awesome Jane Fonda exercise tapes and has continued to skyrocket for more than five decades. It would appear that Cooper knows what he's talking about, since he's now 94 years old.

    Grow Healthier explains how your health is your responsibility, by making choices over things you can control such as diet, exercise, avoiding tobacco, and avoiding or limiting alcohol — to help reduce the risk of disease and improve health, longevity, and quality of life.

    “No medication or therapy can replicate the benefits of an active lifestyle,” says Dr. Cooper in a statement. “Fitness is a journey, not a destination. You must continue for the rest of your life.”

    Making minimal changes in your fitness level, such as going from inactive to exercising 30 minutes most days of the week, can drastically improve your health and add years to your life. But Dr. Cooper stresses the importance of selecting the right exercise. Exercise can be used in three primary ways—for rest and relaxation, strength training and figure-contouring, and cardiovascular fitness. All three are beneficial, but only cardiovascular fitness helps increase longevity and prevent disease.

    The history of aerobics
    Cooper, who coined the word aerobics, worked as a surgeon in the U.S. Army, then transferred to the Air Force where he helped NASA create an astronaut conditioning program. That work led him to develop the 12-minute fitness test and the Aerobics Point System. He also helped develop the treadmill stress test as a diagnostic tool to detect early signs of coronary heart disease.

    After opening the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas in 1970, Dr. Cooper moved his research to preventive medicine for the general population. The public private partnership between Cooper Clinic and The Cooper Institute allowed Dr. Cooper to create a world-renowned study of measured fitness.

    The Cooper Center Longitudinal Study (CCLS) contains more than 2.2 million person-years of observation from more than 116,000 healthy participants allowing research that informs and directs healthy living and preventive medical care.

    He developed FitnessGram and partnered with the National Football League (NFL) to bring this fitness program to millions of students with NFL PLAY60, a program to prevent childhood obesity by helping children get fit. The science behind this work is showcased in Grow Healthier as You Grow Older.

    Grow Healthier as You Grow Older is published by Savio Republic and distributed by Simon & Schuster. It will be in stores on Tuesday, June 24, initially in hardcover and Kindle format.
