I guess I ended up bringing the rain with me from Portland to Texas. We didn&#8217;t let the rain stop us. Instead, we headed to the shopping center to exert one of our super-powers, shopping. Addison is home to an incredible shopping center, Galleria Dallas, typically open Monday\u2013Saturday from 10 a.m. \u2013 9 p.m., and Sunday 12 noon \u2013 6 p.m. Here you will find 1.8 million square feet devoted to retail therapy!

Here are the stores I recommend trying!<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Altar\u2019d State<\/strong> &#8211; This is my all time favorite store. Every time I am in Texas I visit one of their stores. Their location, inside Galleria Dallas, is large and the sale room is the biggest one I&#8217;ve seen.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrangler<\/strong> &#8211; Wrangler has only two stores in the United States and one of them is here.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Morphe<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;This makeup is all the rage on YouTube right now.
