House of Style

StellaDallas Home Store Opens

You’re a closet spender. Translation: You splurge on anything wardrobe related.

But with the economy as flat as a Lanvin ballet slipper, you’re keeping a low profile at home.

At least make it fashionable with some frills from StellaDallas. The brand-new boutique is expertly edited with a mod mix of pillows, lamps, Missoni throws, and retro furnishings.

The back of the sleek shop is dedicated to whimsical-yet-contemporary stationery — cards, notebooks, calendars — as well as a wall of single-sheet graphic wrapping papers. Decorating the rest of the digs are unique furniture pieces (mostly from the ’50s and ’60s) that have been updated with groovy new upholstery and slick paint jobs.

Although it’s hard to miss these one-of-a-kind items, they’re marked with cute little gray tags just in case. Rest assured you’ll be the only one owning anything like it.

Which is a good reason to come out of the closet.

StellaDallas, 4346 Lovers Lane (214-691-0000).
