Ella Bleu

When this spot first opened a few years ago, it was in a hard-to-reach Dallas shopping development with little foot traffic and even less parking. Now that it’s relocated to The Shops at Legacy and has a bigger space, business is better than ever. Bright purple and turquoise walls add to the high-octane energy that permeates from the friendly staff and club-worthy clothing. Affordable options from lines such as 213 Industry, Kensie Girl, and MM Couture—truly one of the best-looking, easy-on-your-pocketbook brands out there—are solid offerings for Generation Y. Think drape-y blouses, boyfriend blazers, biker vests, and thick knit sweaters that even Kate Moss wouldn’t mind wearing.
