The Dallas Guide

Emily Summers Studio 54

Celebrated interior designer Emily Summers just opened her own showroom in Highland Park Village, and it's is a pretty great source for inspiration. Her style is undeniably refined without being cold—lots of gorgeous velvets and other luxe fabrics on nice clean lines.

Ylang 23

Ylang 23 offers an encyclopedia’s worth of jewelry designers (its website is one of the better sources online). Whether it’s tiny stack rings from Jennifer Meyer or opal-bedecked earrings from Nak Armstrong, there is something for every price point.

Forestwood Antique Mall

In a state known for its antique fairs, you’re bound to stumble across great vintage troves, this one being one of the very best. As its name suggests, it’s an antique mall, not a shop, and you should expect to spend some time. You’ll find everything from Murano glass chandeliers to Art Deco dining tables to Chinese lacquered everything. Bonus: They ship everywhere.

Grange Hall

Grange Hall, with its gothic, cabinet-of-curiosities vibe, is the yin to Dallas’s glitzier yang. There’s a pretty gorgeous range of home goods—Ted Muehling candlesticks, Astier de Villate ceramics, Cire Trudon candles—along with really stunning jewelry. They just opened an on-site café, too, that serves artfully arranged food and an encyclopedia's worth of teas. This is inarguably one of Dallas’s very best stores.

Cabana

This store was once literally housed in a cabana on owner Merry Vose's property. However, when her covert, by-appointment operation was shut down by the city, she took her fan base to Lovers Lane. It's equally easy to miss there, which only adds to the allure and sense of discovery upon spotting the unmarked lavender door. The same mix of pretty, affordable labels—MiH, Monrow, Steven Alan, Nili Lotan—abounds. Vose has since opened a bigger sister store, Canary.

Tenoversix

This shop lives on the ground floor of the Joule hotel. Known for their great eye and fashion-y but relaxed finds for women, men, and kids, Kristen Lee and Brady Cunningham have opened a second location as delightful as their first. You’ll find familiar labels like Rachel Comey and Suno, along with planters from Kelly Lamb and Karen Kimmel’s modern dream catchers.

Forty Five Ten Dallas

Brian Bolke and his late partner, Shelly Musselman, revolutionized Dallas retail when they founded the original Forty Five Ten in 2000. Now no visit to the city is complete without spending a few hours getting happily lost in the latest iteration on downtown's Main Street. You’ll find everything from Proenza Schouler, Marni, and Delpozo to Kelly Wearstler home accessories and Diptyque candles under one spectacular roof. The beautifully renovated industrial-style dark-brick-and-glass building is also home to an amazing art collection—including works by Mario Testino and Bruce Weber, as well as Catherine Opie's 700 Nimes Road—plus an excellent rooftop restaurant with amazing views and an Assouline bookshop.

Dolly Python

What you fall in love with when you wander into this vintage store meets flea market depends on the day: We’ve taken home a taxidermy mouse wearing a top hat, hand-painted ceramics from local musician Sarah Jaffe, and rare vinyl from Bucks Burnett’s meticulously organized booth. The selection of vintage clothes, arranged by decade, is fantastic. On the weekends, Nancy Lloyd gives disturbingly accurate tarot readings.

Set & Co.

Husband and wife Jennifer and Adam Littke’s incredibly charming home and kitchen store is one of the best places in Dallas to find handmade ceramics, textiles, cookbooks, and more. The clean, modern pieces have a laid-back California vibe, and they make gorgeous gift boxes—you can choose a premade one or create your own—always tied beautifully with herbs.

Dallas Farmers Market Food Hall

In 2016, the Dallas Farmers Market underwent a major renovation, and one of the unused buildings was transformed into the Shed—an amazing indoor local food hall. We love nourishing bone broth from Stocks and Bondy, Mexican furniture at the Dallas Antique Company, truffle-infused cheese from Scardello, and, of course, the fresh local produce.

goop DALLAS

We're back in Dallas, and this time the goop pop-up has a distinct culinary edge. What was originally a cavernous space in Highland Park Village has been transformed by Kate McCollough and Max Zinser of KMZ New York into a light-filled, earthy marketplace—all neutral greys and greens interspersed with bright splashes of copper, the kind of place you feel immediately comfortable in. We wanted the store to reflect all that we love about the South, namely that incomparable Southern hospitality. The goop x Cointreau bar plays host to Margarita Mondays weekly and significant square footage has been devoted to the fully shoppable pantry of our dreams, well-stocked with Staub cookware, the finest Himalayan pink salt, gourmet condiments, and, of course, a library of cookbooks well-thumbed by the goop team in their own kitchens. Moving from the kitchen to the closet, you'll find a Dallas-specific Prada edit, G. Label everything, and a vintage selection from What Goes Around Comes Around. A special kids' corner is piled high with toys, both to shop and keep the littles occupied while the bigs shop. And it wouldn't be a goop pop-up without shelves stocked with the best edit of clean beauty and skin care.
