It was about time Deep Ellum had another vintage shop. The Japanese chain 2nd Street USA has long been all the rage in LA and New York. The Deep Ellum location of 2nd Street is a collector's paradise — from your dream Chanel lambskin bag, to anything Nike, this place has it. And it fits all shopper's budgets, from $5 tees to high-end streetwear items worth thousands of dollars.

We love Buc-ee's just as much as the next classy Texan, but there's no harm in visiting an upscale convenience store every once in a while. Foxtrot has a few locations in Dallas. Some of them include a café, all of them include fanciness. If your essential shopping includes expensive wine and a charcuterie board, well then, Mr. Big, stay off the Peloton and call up Foxtrot, which guarantees 30-minute delivery.

Not everyone can afford a $300 haircut, but that doesn't mean we should look like our hair was styled by a 3-year-old with a razor. Here's where the best of both worlds collide: The stylists at Divinas have high-end-salon skills and affordable prices. The Latin-woman-owned salon is in an Oak Cliff strip mall and has five employees who are mostly Spanish-speaking masters of the trade. The beauty shop also does lash extensions and basic facials. After seeing the way they cut our hair, we'd trust them with heart surgery.

While some people want their bodies covered in more tattoos than there are on Travis Barker's neck, others are trying to cover up any marks on their body. Illusions by Ink Studio can help by camouflaging whatever you want to blend into your skin. Owner Elena Sanchez is an expert in paramedical micropigmentation and an instructor in the art of camouflaging scars, stretch marks, discoloration and even scalp tattooing for hair loss. Sanchez also exhibits excellent bedside manner, transparency and professionalism. Even those afraid of needles will feel at ease in her studio.

Greta Gerwig could've saved herself half the movie budget: Dallas has its own Barbie house, and it's available for shoots. Owner Rachel Page has created a dream house — doused in pink and overrun with cute props — that screams (well, murmurs like Marilyn) Old-Hollywood glamour and dollhouse coziness. The space is a private residence in Arlington available to rent for the day or by the hour, so go live your pinkest Barbie or Elle Woods fantasies. If these walls could talk, they would simply purr.

D Magazine recently named Tailwaters Fly Fishing Co. as the Best Fly-Fishing Outfitter, but we go there for a different reason. The Design District shop, with its own backyard river bank, is where you go to look like a fashionable fisherman without ever grabbing a pole. The plentiful selection of vintage-inspired Howler Brothers pearl snap Western shirts with colorful embroidery is ideal for fun on the river or on dry land, and the shop's offerings of Simms moisture-wicking button-down shirts look sharp on a boat or in a boardroom. Of course, there are cool caps, pants and shorts to add to your purchase as well. This is the type of style that says, "I'll be in the meeting, but I'm not staying long. There's fun to be had."

When Tumbleweed TexStyles opened its flagship store in Frisco in 2020, it had already been the coolest T-shirt slinger in North Texas for several years. But instead of being able to catch the colorful Tex-centric merchant only at a local music festival or online, now you can visit their kitschy-chic shop and leisurely peruse. You've probably seen the must-have, officially licensed Whataburger designs or, perhaps, the shop's big-selling "Texas Chica" tee, crafted to recall the Topo Chico logo, but there's much more to be had. The shop's clever original designs with a vintage flair and a Lone Star State vibe beat the hell out of a graphic tee from Target.

You wouldn't know it by walking in there now, but Bloom's Candy and Soda Pop shop in downtown Carrollton started life as a flower shop. Its current owners purchased the place in 2008 and added candy to the floral offerings. In 2010, the candy and soda lines took over the space entirely. An epic array of vintage brands (Astro Pops and Banana Split Candy Chews, among many others), and straight-up crazy selections (candied crickets and brisket-flavored candy canes, anyone?) can be washed down with a frosty glass bottle of one of the dozens of hard-to-find root beers, ginger ales or flavored cream sodas from the store's coolers. The vintage toy and knickknack collection lining the tops of the candy shelves is worth its own moment of attention if you can pull yourself away from the sweets.

With several locations in Dallas and across North Texas, you won't have to go far to find a CBD American Shaman. With a focus on health and wellness, the place sports some of the best selection of CBD and hemp products and so much more. Don't know what you're looking for? One of the friendly staff at CBD American Shaman can always help find the products just right for you. Whether you want something that can get you high or something more therapeutic like CBD for you or your pet, this place has you covered.

You can find everything you need to get your smoke on at Smokin' Glassworks. The chain has been selling CBD since 2014 and has several storefronts in North Texas where the staff is chill and helpful. Inside, you'll see a range of products from CBD to hemp-derived THC, and a variety of bongs, pipes and bubblers to smoke it with. The store also has a wide range of edibles and tinctures, and accessories to go with your smokin' set up, like papers, grinders and rolling trays. The only thing that would make Smokin' Glassworks better is if they had a location in Dallas, but it's always worth the drive to the suburbs.
