We're back from summer with pop-ups on our mind including one in from California and another coming from Miami in late September. That's not the only shopping news in Dallas: A major Italian name has debuted a new Dallas location at NorthPark Center. There's also a new Dallas-based online-only site dedicated to children's clothes and a one stop shop for all of your Ryder Cup needs.

How's that for a well-rounded September shopping list? Enjoy!

Anyon Atelier
San Francisco-based home boutique has opened what is only its second location right here in Dallas, in a storefront off Henderson Avenue across from Fireside Pies at 5238 Milam St. The boutique features minimalist furniture, lighting, accessories, and artwork, and comes with an outdoor courtyard that makes for a great place to visualize how the pieces would perfect various spaces in your home.

Bea Collete
Call this a mother on a mission — a fashionable one at that. Dallas-based founder Meghan Guffey launched this online-only site offering a collection of posh children's clothing from European brands, featuring names from Denmark, France, Switzerland, and Italy. There are faded florals from Birinit and Petit Lucette, and darling cotton rompers from Artesanía Granlei, with some exclusives found only on the site.

Béis
Trendy California-based luggage brand founded by actress Shay Mitchell has previously been available online only or at select Nordstrom locations. But through September 28, the brand is selling its pastel, hard-shell suitcases on wheels and slouchy carry-ons in person at a month-long pop-up called "Beis Hotel" in the West Village, at 3699 McKinney Ave. #103B (the former LF Stores space next to Kendra Scott), open 11 am-7 pm daily.

Gucci
The latest iteration of Gucci at NorthPark Center has debuted on level one, between Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, replacing the previous storefront, which closed the day before the new store opened on August 25. Under construction for more than a year, the new store spans more than 12,000 feet, and features clothes, shoes, handbags, luggage, jewelry, watches, and a kids collection. It's the largest of six locations in Texas (including Fort Worth which opened in 2022) and one of Gucci’s 10 largest in the U.S.

Mango
Fashion brand from Barcelona began its U.S. expansion in 2022 with the opening of flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York, and has since opened stores in New York, New Jersey, Florida - and now Galleria Dallas, where it opened a boutique on level one. It's a go-to spot for stylish but affordable pieces for men, women, and children, from work professional clothes that won't break the bank to a glorious going out get up.

PGA Shop Frisco
Did you know that the PGA Shop in Frisco's PGA District is one of the only places in the country to score 2023 Ryder Cup Gear? We learn something new every day. Stack up on hats, polos by Polo, Peter Millar, and Foot Joy, cups, and other swag and look fashionable on and off the golf course while cheering on and supporting the USA as they head to Rome to compete in this year's Ryder Cup.

Thrift Studio
After years of popping up at warehouses or temporary spaces, this fund-raising pop-up shop now has its own space in the Design District at 1833 E. Levee St., where it will continue its mission to fund the Dwell with Dignity charity by selling donated furniture, housewares, accessories, and high-end designer finds. The space will be used for various events — but for now, it's time to shop, with a pop-up that runs through October 7, Tuesdays-Saturdays from 10 am-5 pm.

Webster x Rosewood Pop-Up at Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek
Miami-based luxury retailer The Webster has 10 locations across the U.S. including Houston — but no storefront in Dallas. In late September, they'll make that right when they host this pop-up in Dallas from September 27–30 at one of Dallas' top hotels. The pop-up will preside from one of the Mansion's Estate Suites with a tailored selection of womenswear, menswear, accessories, beauty, and home goods.

Universal theme park in Frisco will be a first-of-its-kind Kids Resort

Theme Park News

The big splashy theme park coming to Frisco has a name and identity: Called Universal Kids Resort, it's from Universal Destinations & Experiences, a division of Comcast NBCUniversal, and is the company's first-ever theme park designed specifically for families with young children.

Previously described as a "family-friendly" concept, it's doubling down on the "kids" element, vowing to bring an innovative style of storytelling to a new, younger audience. So, more Disney-ish.

According to a release, Universal Kids Resort will include a theme park featuring immersive themed lands that bring Universal's characters and stories to life in ways that will wow the youngest theme parkgoers.

Singer Michael Bublé to make appearance in Dallas for his new whiskey

Less burn, more Bublé

Singer Michael Bublé has made a career using his voice to enchant millions of fans, but he'll be using his voice in a different way when he stops in Dallas on December 6 in support of a new whiskey he's released.

Called Fraser & Thompson, it's a North American whiskey launched in 2023 by Bublé and his partner Paul Cirka, a Master Distiller and Blender with a goal to create an aromatic and approachable new-to-world whiskey.

Bublé will be at Spec’s Wines & Spirits at 9500 N. Central Expwy. on December 6 from 4-5 pm.

According to a release, he’ll be at the brand’s "Easy, Now" lounge experience (IE, the events space at Spec's), where consumers over 21 can try samples.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early in order to ensure they are able to meet Bublé during the allotted time.

Retailing for $29.99 with the catch phrase, "Less burn, more Bublé," the whiskey is so new that its website is still under construction.

The release describes it as having sweet fig and blood orange on the nose, with a subtle finish of caramel, vanilla, and a hint of spice.

“Michael and I bonded over our shared passion for whisky, and wanted to create a blend that was flavorful but more light-hearted than the category at large can be known for," says Fraser & Thompson co-founder Cirka.

According to Bublé, the name Fraser Thompson references a location in his hometown Canada.

"I spent many summers with my grandfather at the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson rivers in British Columbia," Bublé says. "When I heard Paul’s vision for creating a new kind of whiskey, I knew instantly what I wanted to call it. For the last three years, we worked together to perfect a whiskey blend that is equally elegant and approachable."

Bublé, of course, is doing just fine, even before making the jump into the celebrity liquor game. He's released 11 albums in his 20+ year singing career, selling millions of albums and almost singlehandedly reviving the jazz standards genre.

He's also not new to the beverage world, having partnered with Pepsi on a series of amusing commercials for their Bubly sparkling water.
