Marnie Rocks Dallas

Popular Houston-based jewelry label known for decorating the necks of hip Hollywood starlets. A portion of proceeds from certain styles benefits local and national charities. Leave with a stack of wood-beaded bracelets for cheap or a diamond necklace for a big wad of cash.

Cabana Dallas

Yes, the hours and locale are a bit tricky. But the bungalow-turned-boutique is worth a pop-in for the boho cover-ups alone. Some things are preppy, others a little earth mama. But nearly everything — cocktail dresses, comfy blouses, skinny pants — is irresistible. Just be prepared to bid adieu to a big chunk of your paycheck.
