WHERE TO SHOP IN DALLAS》KENDRA SCOTT

Kendra Scott's eighth boutique opened its doors this past august at the Shops of Legacy in Plano, TX.  This is the Austin-based jewelry designer's second store in DFW which is significantly larger than the other in the West Village spot.  Once again, she does not disappoint with a fully stocked color bar where you can customize a piece of jewelry.  It's so easy to get carried away from 26 gemstones and 23 jewelry silhouettes in both gold and rhodium silver settings to choose from.  The store is absolutely beautiful beyond wonder.  White furniture with gold accents everywhere, and her jewels alone perk the whole place up with its colorful vibrance.  Take a look below at the pictures of the store - you'll love it!  Just in case you didn't already know, in 2002 Kendra Scott founded her own company with only $500!  Amazing, right?!  How inspiring to now know that this global brand is currently being sold at top retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's.  We are so happy she is here in Plano, it is definitely a place to visit!

Who of you follow the stylish blog Kendi Everyday by Kendi Skeen?  Well, I do!  I love her style and her blog.  For those of you (me too) who would love to raid the closets of your favorite fashion bloggers, now's your chance.  Shop Kendi's boutique Bloom either online or in Downtown McKinney.  Her online shop features those popular items that you find each season in her store.  Everything online and in store is everything Kendi says she would wear, as if pulled straight from her blog.  I find Kendi to be very inspiring for every fashion lover out there.  After starting her blog in 2009, she soon opened up Bloom, a boutique filled with pieces that fit perfectly in every woman's wardrobe.  A dream I have always had.  Seeing others fulfill their dreams shows me that one day I can do the same.  At Bloom, you won't find anything less but high quality and well-constructed pieces at an affordable price from those brands you love such as: Line & Dot and Aryn K.  Speaking of Aryn K., this Silk Shift Dress is adorable and perfect for Fall especially when paired with this awesome Color Block Jacket.  Check it out and don't forget, Bloom Online is only a taste of what's offered at Bloom in McKinney (only a short drive north of Dallas) so I suggest a you visit the store soon!

WHERE TO SHOP IN DALLAS 》FLIRT BOUTIQUE

I'm back today to feature another boutique in my "Where to shop in Dallas" series.  Have you shopped at Flirt Boutique before?  If not, you should be!  With raving reviews on Dallas A-list, it's sure to please.  Some say it's a "true female paradise" and has "excellent choices with the most up-to-date trends".  Check it out!

1 + 2 

 After opening their doors in 2005 to local shoppers in the heart of Uptown Dallas.  It has since become a staple in women's fashion.  It's really those shoppers who truly appreciate women's clothing and accessories that get the most out of shopping here at Flirt.  I personally love the accessory selection.  They specialize, not only in the latest trends, but also customer service and extremely knowledgable and creative staff.  With that said, it is strongly encouraged for you to enjoy a glass of wine at the wine bar and relax in the lounge.  To add to the personal connection to this boutique, you can shop online.  But to your surprise, you do so through their Facebook Page.  I think this creates more of a casual and one-on-one touch with their customers.  Simply comment "sold, your size and email address" under the item you wish to purchase then wait for an invoice through email and your done!  Simple as that.  Hope to see you there! 

WHERE TO SHOP IN DALLAS

Every other week I will introduce my favorite boutiques in Dallas at which I love to shop.  The best part is that most places now offer online shopping, which is great for you out-of-towners.  To get the ball rolling, let's start with a little boutique called Milk & Honey Boutique.

How cute is this store?  Established in June of 2011, Brittany York brought her boutique to life creating an atmosphere crossed with her feminine style to her eclectic and whimsy taste.  Milk & Honey offers quality and on trend fashion at affordable prices, so the women of Dallas don't have to worry about looking at the price tag.  You get the feel of a high-end department store with walls of lights and birch branches to cowhide rugs, but at a price that's easy on the wallet.  Almost everything in the store is under $100!  From apparel and shoes to jewelry and candles - you will find everything under the sun at this artistic inspiring boutique.  Be sure to check it out next time you're in Dallas, it's on Henderson Ave.  Also, don't forget to check out their website here to shop some of the most popular items from their store.  Here's some of my favorites.
