Thread Thursday: Dolly Python Vintage in Dallas

Filed under: Clothing Store,Vintage — Tags: Austin, Dallas, Dolly Python Vintage, Psychic, Uncommon Objects, Vintage — Nik @ 10:00 am

Dolly Python…just by the name, you know you’re in for something unusual and amazing. In the same vein of vintage wackiness as Austin’s Uncommon Objects, Dolly Python is a mecca of rare clothing, accessories, furniture and other fun tchotchkes. Located at 1916 N. Haskell Avenue in Dallas, Dolly does have one thing that Uncommon Objects doesn’t: Melinda the psychic. Every Saturday she does palm readings- $15 for 15 minutes. So while at Dolly Python, you can shop for things from the past and get a glimpse of your future.

Khloe Kardashian at the Mavs Game in Dallas

We were at Sunday’s Mavs Game, which was also the debut of reality stars Lamar and Khloe Kardashian Odom in Dallas. We thought it odd that Khloe was not at the game, but as it turns out she was in an area under our suite. So no wonder we never saw her!

If you’d like to meet Khloe and embrace the Holiday’s spirit of giving, she is also having a toy drive at City Hall Plaza tomorrow, Wednesday, December 21, from 12pm – 2pm to benefit Children’s Hospital of Dallas.

Fashionably Yours,

GO MAVS!

H&M Grand Opening Preview Party at Northpark

Filed under: Clothing Store,Great Sales,Shopping Event,Street Fashion,Trends — Tags: children's fashion, Dallas, H&M, Jennifer Ward, men's fashion, Northpark Center, Preview Party — Nik @ 5:10 pm

Dear Fashionistas,

This week marked a momentous occasion for thread-conscious fashion enthusiasts in Texas… our H&M has finally arrived.

If you’re like me, chances are you’ve been waiting years for H&M to move to Texas. And while it’s been a long time coming, I can tell you, it was worth the wait. (Even socialite Gregg Asher made an appearance.)

So, why Dallas, why now? Well as it turns out, H&M has been eyeing the Dallas market since it opened its first U.S. location (New York) in 2000. And the clothing giant has plans to expand to even more Texas markets in the future, said spokeswoman Jennifer Ward.

The two-story, 24,000 square-foot shopping mecca is brimming with a variety of styles to suit every discriminating Dallasites’ taste, at any age (teens, adults and children) and for any occasion (casual, business, and party wear). Fortunately, H&M will continue its practice of collaborating with the world’s hottest designers to bring us high-end, yet affordable, clothing. (BTW, I died for the Lanvin collection.)

After all, high-end, yet affordable, fashion is what H&M is known for and what sets it apart from other retailers world-wide. Accessories start as low as $5, denim as low as $15 and dresses $30…you can spend less than $100 for an entire ensemble and still look like you stepped off the runway. This is the magic of H&M, which I witnessed firsthand during its Papercity Preview Party this week.

So without further adieu, I present to you our H&M.

Fashionably Yours,

Nik

H&M Northpark Dallas Grand Opening August 18, 2011

Filed under: Clothing Store,Fashion News,Shopping Event — Tags: Dallas, H&M, Northpark Center — Nik @ 4:06 pm

Dear Fashionistas,

It was a sad day when H&M closed its “preview store” this past April in anticipation of a grand reopening this Fall. Alas, no need to wait until October; H&M will open its doors August 18th at noon, according to Dallasing.com.

“The August 18 grand opening will take place at noon with the first 500 visitors receiving ‘passes’ valued up to $500.”

Of course, if you attend (and why wouldn’t you?) please snap a few photos and email them to nik@threadconscious.com! Sharing is caring, people.

(Oh, and don’t forget: Fashion’s Night Out at Northpark Center is Sept. 8th, 6-10pm.)

Fashionably Yours,

Nik

North Park Center at Night

Filed under: Clothing Store,Trends — Tags: Dallas, Northpark Center — Nik @ 12:45 am

I was combing through random photos and came upon these I took of Northpark Center in Dallas. It’s one thing to see a high-end mall in all its glory during the day, but by night, it’s quite different. Immensely calm and yet intensely engaging, Northpark loses none of its appeal at nightfall. Once the sun goes down and the crowds clear out at closing time, Northpark effortlessly slips into the role of museum.

Fashionably Yours,

Nik
