Where To Shop Around Dallas

Deep Ellum, Dallas

Deep Ellum, which was founded as a freedman's settlement following the Civil War, progressed from gospel voices in churches to live music exploding into the streets. Deep Ellum has unquestionably become Dallas's hippest district, with its emphasis on art, music, culture, food, and retail.

Simply glancing through the windows on Main Street will provide you with a memorable experience. Deep Vintage (part of the celebrated Deep Ellum Denim) can hook you up with a throwback closet (and home goods!) that matches the carefree, innovative vibe of this only-in-Texas destination, and Archer Paper Goods makes for a great souvenir stop (yes, you can make jewelry out of paper), and Deep Vintage (part of the celebrated Deep Ellum Denim) can hook you up with a throwback closet (and home goods!) that matches the carefree, innovative vibe of this only-in

The Bishop Arts District, Dallas

There are presently 60 Dallas boutiques, restaurants, and galleries in the Bishop Arts District, a modest renaissance district made up of old warehouses. And practically every address on this list is worth seeing.

Making a day of it is the ideal approach: Begin by becoming acquainted at Bishop Street Market, then fuel up at Tribal All Day Cafe before following your curiosity from block to block. M'antiques, Fete-ish, and Dude, Sweet Chocolate are three excellent examples of what you can expect from Bishop Arts: complete and absolute creativity.

Sundance Square, Fort Worth

After you've had your fill of the beautiful Fort Worth Water Gardens, head over to Sundance Square—a district, not a town common area—for some retail therapy to round out your afternoon.

This is the city's brick-lined, pedestrian-focused core, where residents and visitors alike go for food, entertainment, people-watching, and, of course, shopping. You'll see turn-of-the-century buildings amid skyscrapers on Main Street, with the beautiful courthouse serving as your compass as you walk the blocks. Sundance Square, with its cigar lounges, art galleries, and urban-industrial couture, makes it difficult to leave empty-handed.

Highland Park Village, Dallas

Highland Park Village is a great place to go if you want to go from vintage-hip to luxury-upscale. The area's upper-class credentials are extensive: Highland Park, a Dallas neighborhood centered on the historic Dallas Country Club, was constructed by the same architect who created Beverly Hills in the early 1900s. Highland Park Village, America's first retail center, was built shortly after as a stunning open-air complex in the Spanish Colonial Revival style.

Though it has been rebuilt since then, Highland Park Village remains the focal point it was designed to be. If you want to impress, go for Jimmy Choo, Rolex, Cartier, Ralph Lauren, Fendi, or Dior.
