Shopping in North Texas
“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.

Divine Consign’s Plano Consignment Pop-up Event!
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...
Fridays Find: Frisco’s Boxcar House
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...
New Frisco Walmart Makes Shopping Easier
(This post is hosted by Walmart. I was invited for a preview of their new store. All opinions are my own.) I'll be honest, I haven't always been a fan of the Walmart experience. I've always loved their prices, but there was a time when you really had to be ready for...
My favorite finds from LOOT Vintage Market
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...
DAISO Carrollton ups the dollar store game
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 the 100 Yen stores are even better. DAISO, the Japanese dollar store darling described as...
Top 4 Trader Joe’s Must Buys
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...
Buc-ee’s Terrell Texas – Beaver Love
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 Texas, and I think the founders of Buc-ee’s took that as a double dare. Massive doesn’t begin to describe the...
Dallas Modani Furniture Store Grand Opening
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....
Frisco’s New Michaels Crafts Store
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...
Tips on Exploring the New Nebraska Furniture Mart
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,...
Gift Ideas at The Vintage House, Carrollton, Texas
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,...
Retail Therapy at the Vera Bradley Launch
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...
Grand Opening of Kim Hoegger Home
So I have to tell you about the party I went to last night. It was my first visit to Kim Hoegger Home (it's a store) located at 2933 Henderson in Dallas. And won't be my last. In fact, I've already been back. Despite how much I hate going to parties on my own -- Kim...
