“Whoever said that money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.” – Bo Derek
Shopping in North Texas could be considered cardio, we have so many options: farmer’s markets and home stores, Japanese style dollar stores and even a quaint pink boutique in an historic home. Come with me and I’ll show you my favorite places to lighten my wallet.
One of the best things about summer is the Saturday morning tradition of shopping at the local farmers market. If you've never been, a farmers market is (typically) an outdoor, temporary event where local growers come and set up a booth to sell directly to shoppers....

This post is sponsored by Divine Consign. All opinions are my own."Mom, my toes hurt in these shoes." Ugh. THE WORST WORDS EVER. It's the first chip to fall in the domino effect that means new basketball shoes, new outdoor cleats, new indoor soccer shoes, then new...
Y’all, I know you love your farmhouse décor. Throw in some evolved industrial chic and your heart probably beats a little faster. Well, stop driving to Waco and watching HGTV for inspiration. Frisco has our own little mecca for all of the things.It’s almost like a...
Did you know that Dean Fearing, chef of Dallas notable restaurant Fearings in the Ritz Carlton, authored a cookbook. Called The Texas Food Bible, it not only looks gorgeous on any coffee-table worthy, it also causes spontaneous salivation just flipping through the...
I am a sucker for all things shabby chic, vintage, upcycled, boho… you name it. When I learned the LOOT Vintage Market was coming to Market Hall this past weekend, I cleared my calendar to make that shopping event happen. Fueled by Starbucks, the Cupcake and I were...
The arrival of the Daiso Dallas store really upped the dollar store game in Carrollton, Teas. Ever since I was in high school working my way through summer at the seaside 99cent store, I’ve so loved what you can get for only a dollar. After this weekend, I’ve decided...
It’s always fun when family comes to Dallas to visit and we get to introduce them to some of our amazing retail opportunities. This week we have Gran and Grandpa in from Chattanooga and among our list of places to indoctrinate them to is Trader Joe’s. Sadly, their...
UPDATE: Check out my latest favorite Buccees finds in the middle of this post. I update it after each Buccees visit! The bar for gas stations has just hit the stratosphere. Buc-ee’s has moved into North Texas and we are forever spoilt. They say things are bigger in...
I pretty sure haven’t been this hip in years. Last night, me and my +1 Sabrina made a MNO of the Modani Furniture Red Carpet Grand Opening party.Complete with ribbon cutting.It. Was. Lush.Even the building façade is impressive.This sophisticated store is set up with a...
Frisco just got better last week. It’s a two Michaels town now, and that’s huge for us craft geeks.The new Frisco Michael's store had it’s soft opening on Thursday night (I was one of the first lucky shoppers through it’s doors!) and the Grand Opening was on Sunday...
We've been waiting for almost 2 years for the new Nebraska Furniture Mart to open. Ever since we started considering building our home in The Colony, Texas, it's been smack-dab on our daily drive taunting with its promise of awesomeness. We've been watching, watching,...
I popped into the Vintage House last weekend in a desperate, last minute -- like I'm on the way to the party last minute -- attempt to get an ornament for a Daisy Troop's ornament exchange and also the mom's white elephant exchange. Not only does the Vintage House,...
I just saw a preview for the new Disney movie, “Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day,” and it hit a little too close to home as I declared yesterday, "I AM DONE." It was the culmination of worst few days I’d had in a long while. It was...
I’m lucky to live in a state that’s filled with a million miles of places to go – in fact, I barely need to leave North Texas to find the fun! Here are some of my favorite places to share with my family.
