Texas is finally getting a second location—the first is in Austin—of y&i clothing boutique in none other than Dallas’ very own West Village.  It’s only fitting that best friends and owners Robin & Robyn bring their fashionable enterprise back to Dallas—they first met as high school students in Dallas, thus forming the friendship that has brought us chic, affordable clothing over the years.  Expect designers like Rachel Pally, Free People, Page Premium Denim and LA Made in addition to the boutique’s own label of wallet-friendly clothing. The boutique is slated to open on May 9, but an official grand opening is scheduled for early June so we’ll keep you posted as the deets roll in.

The brand-spanking-new Jonathan Adler boutique on Dallas’ McKinney Ave. officially opens its doors today! The chic new digs reside at 4525 McKinney, to be exact. The opening comes not a moment too soon–just in time to get mom a sassy little gifty (and a few for yourself too, natch).

Q: What makes a Best Store even better?

A: Adding a massive new shoe department!

That’s exactly what Bridgette’s  in Tyler did, with the opening of its adjacent shoe store called Bridgette’s Shoe Collection (nestled right between Bridgette’s and Harley’s). The new addition currently features 120 different pairs of shoes that highlight every spring trend you can imagine, from colorblocking to ankle straps to espadrilles. Such a glorious new way to feed our addiction…

Goody, goody, goody!

We’ve just gotten official word that the prince of pattern-play, Jonathan Adler, is opening two Texas boutiques–one on Dallas’ trendy McKinney Ave. (late April) and another on 5th St. in Austin (opening date unconfirmed).

This is thrilling news for design enthusiasts and fans of Adler’s chic-with-a-sense-of-humor aesthetic (we fall into both categories).

When H&M does something, they do it all the way. In just five months, the fast-fashion giant has entered the Texas market and is about to open its fourth location in North Texas. This Thursday, the barricades will come down at Galleria Dallas at noon, and the first 200 shoppers in line will receive a free t-shirt and a “fashion pass” (read: a gift card worth anywhere from $10 – $300). This location will be a “full concept” store, which we can only hope means it will carry the designer collaborations that are coming down the pipeline.

This just in: Urban Outfitters is set to open its doors on Fort Worth’s super-happening 7th Street! Word on the street is that the retailer has leased a two-story space at the corner of Foch and W. 7th–a space currently occupied by Gavrel Furs. The furrier will move to a location on Camp Bowie in April or May, so we’ll have to wait at least that long until Urban opens. Stay tuned for more details…

Here we go again. The genius team behind Dallas’ renown Forty Five Ten has opened Five & Ten, a sort of “little sister” store to the McKinney Avenue outpost. This new gem has opened its doors in Highland Park Village and it already fits right in among the storied shopping center’s designer boutiques.

Expect the same lines at Five & Ten that you know and love from Forty Five Ten, like Lanvin and Proenza Schouler, but they’ve added J Brand’s new ready-to-wear line and Kelly Wearstler items, along with haute goodies for your pooch.

Great news, Houstonians! H&M is continuing its Texas invasion with two–count them, two!–Houston locations set to open in 2012!
