I’m so happy to share a peek into our beloved Dallas—a city that’s welcomed us with such warmth since we opened our store here over a year ago. Located in The Shops of Highland Park, our boutique is tucked into one of the city’s most charming shopping centers. It’s a place where timeless style, community, and craftsmanship come together—just like everything we create.
Whether you’re popping by for a dress or planning a weekend of exploration, here are some of my favorite local spots that capture the beauty, creativity, and character of Dallas.
MADISON
Home Couture & Gifts
A jewel of Highland Park Village, MADISON is my go-to for elevated entertaining and gift-giving. From chic tabletop pieces to custom monograms, everything feels handpicked with joy and intention.
Dunbar Road
Interior Design Studio & Boutique
Dunbar Road feels like a cozy, curated world of color and sophistication. Their signature Southern style and design services inspire the same kind of effortless beauty we love at Sue Sartor.
Ylang 23
Fine Jewelry Boutique
This family-owned boutique is known for championing independent designers with a modern, artful twist. Ylang’s pieces feel special, personal, and one-of-a-kind—just how jewelry should be.
Cos Bar
Luxury Beauty Retailer
Cos Bar offers high-touch service and a selection of luxury skincare and beauty brands that elevate any daily ritual. I love how personal and refined the experience feels.
St. Michael’s Woman’s Exchange
Gift Shop with a Cause
For more than 60 years, this charming volunteer-run shop has been giving back through beautifully curated gifts. It’s a lovely stop with a heartfelt mission that resonates deeply with me.
Eatzi's Market & Bakery
European-Style Market
Perfect for a picnic or a pick-me-up, Eatzi’s always feels like a little adventure. Their chef-made meals, fresh bread, and vibrant market atmosphere are hard to beat.
Mi Cocina
Authentic Tex-Mex Cuisine
This Dallas classic brings bold flavors and a festive spirit to every table. Don’t miss the famous Mambo Taxi—a local favorite that always brings the fun.
Javier’s Gourmet Mexicano
Upscale Mexican Dining
A destination in its own right, Javier’s pairs rich flavors with an unforgettable ambiance. It’s old-school in the best way, from the cigar bar to the mesquite grill.
The Mexican
Modern Mexican Restaurant
Elegant and inventive, The Mexican is a standout in the Design District. Their thoughtful approach to design and flavor makes every meal feel like an experience.
Carbone
Italian-American Restaurant
Carbone is glamour on a plate. From the Spicy Rigatoni to the tuxedoed service, it’s a nostalgic nod to classic dining with just the right amount of drama.
The Hampton Social
Coastal-Inspired Eatery
Light, fresh, and breezy, The Hampton Social is ideal for brunch or cocktails with friends. It always feels like a little coastal getaway, right in the heart of Dallas.
Las Palmas
Tex-Mex with a Twist
This stylish spot puts a modern spin on beloved Tex-Mex classics. I love their vibrant dishes, fresh ingredients, and colorful energy.
Catch Dallas
Seafood & Steakhouse
Catch brings a cosmopolitan edge to Dallas dining. Their seafood-forward menu and bold interiors make it a favorite for special nights out.
I hope you enjoy exploring these places as much as I do. Each one has a story, a sense of place, and a little bit of magic—just like our dresses. Come see us soon at Snider Plaza in Dallas!
Warmly,
Sue Sartor
