Victoria can keep her secrets; the best sexy underclothes shop in Dallas is Trousseau. The intimate Cedar Springs boutique is as sexy as you wanna be yet never tasteless. Whether you need a non-grandma bra to support the girls or you're looking for a complete Dita von Teese-style set of suspenders and pasties (designed by Dita herself), Trousseau will make your (and your partner's) lingerie dreams come true.

Benny Jack is not your grandma's antique store, although she might find something she likes. The eponymous owner carries classic oil paintings, art deco furniture and French statuary, but he's likely to display it alongside exotic taxidermy, tribal artifacts and religious relics. If someone were going to reboot The Addams Family for 2024, the set designer would find all they needed right here at Benny's. As for the less Gothically inclined? A mid-century chair or Florentine mirror is always just waiting for a good home.

Sometimes you want to get away, catch your breath and just ... breathe. Specializing in a wealth of healing modalities, Breathe Meditation and Wellness is a candyland for wellness seekers, which makes it one of the best in the Big D. Upon walking in, a wave of serenity washes over the senses, allowing you to settle into higher vibrations. Craving some "woo"? Breathe offers new- and full-moon ceremonies, intuitive readings, shamanic experiences (think beating drums, plant meds and more), crystal bed chakra therapy and a plethora of reiki energy healers to balance your body from good to great.

"Self-care isn't selfish" is how the saying goes, but Be So Selfish wants you to be "radical" with your self-care — and a little selfish. Catch this bath and body wonder popping up at local events or at Legacy West and snag your fix of Selfish Sugar Scrub, I Love Me room spray or the ultimate fan fave, the Selfish Milk Bubbles, which takes your bath from good to luxuriously great. There's also an array of hand-crafted soaps, candles and wax melts that help you to be even more selfish and more self-centered when making it all about you.

Photographer Kathy Tran, the consummate creative, recently opened Kessler Studios in Oak Cliff to host a wealth of creative experiences for the community. She then expanded the space for wellness, and it now hosts some of the best practitioners from North Texas. If you're looking to test your downward dog or mindfulness mudra outside of a traditional studio, then consider channeling your zen with a consciously cool vibe at Kessler Studios. Unique classes of plant medicine with sound, baddie bootcamps featuring twerk + movement classes, oracle readings with sound, and breathwork, will surely give you the self-care variety that you desperately need.

This West Village spot is one of the best local stops for permanent jewelry — yes, the kind you never take off. The entire process is Insta-worthy as you select from a varied assortment of bracelets then wait patiently for your sparkling beauty to be fused onto your wrist ... forever. Add a charm (or two) for a little razzle dazzle, and you're all zapped up and ready to go. This jewelry bar is such an experience that you will naturally whip out your phone for the 'gram. Trust us, every single spark is totally worth the snap.

Alive and Well is more than just a "sanctuary for health." It's an addictive one-stop destination for luxurious spa treatments, functional medicine and supplements. Providing a "holistic health ecosystem that nourishes your mind, body and spirit," this Highland Park-ish venue is one where you could holistically play all day. We recommend ozone therapy. Instead of climbing into a chamber, you can lie back in a recliner overlooking the Katy Trail while they insert ozone gas into the body via a process called ozone insufflation. It's quick and easy.

Everyone's gone country — or hoity tonk (as we've coined it) — with their style, and there's no better place to shop the trend than in Dallas. Boot scoot your way to Bishop Arts and you'll stumble upon a hidden haven called Indigo 1745. With styles for men and women the mom-and-pop shop has snagged some unique cowboy hats ranging from soft suede to leather, with studs or silver adornments, ombre dye, multi-texture combos and more. So whether you're a classic, edgy or boho trendsetter, our hats are off to this Oak Cliff gem for having something special just for you.

Have you ever felt the sense of weightlessness? Even better, have you been curious about sensory deprivation therapy? Float tank therapy's popularity has increased in Dallas as an alternative form of meditation, and it's a deeply relaxing way to shed stress, worries and frustration. Riviera Spa is the home to multiple therapeutic float tanks that invite you to privately float in a water solution that contains over a half ton of Epsom salts. After emerging from your private 60-minute session, enjoy a rinsing shower followed by some herbal tea to bring you back down to the real world.

Girls just wanna have fun — and for some, to be the masters of their own beauty destiny. For a spin to happy hour, grab the girlies and head to this West Village bar to get all up in the "MYX" while you create your very own lipstick. A MYXologist will help you choose from numerous styles of lipsticks and lip gloss while you customize your own shade to complement your skin tone. Toast it all up and kiss the doubt away, because after naming your new lippie, this will be one MYXperience that will always throw a good amount of shade.
