NorthPark Center
Offering over 200 stores, comprised of luxury brands, retail favorites and department store staples, NorthPark Center is a local favorite. Not only is it known for great shopping, but there's also tons of impressive art work by world-renowned artists on display throughout the center. They're even offering extended hours all weekend long, so you'll have plenty of time to get your shop on. While you're there, grab a bite to eat from the food court, or dine at La Duni or Breadwinners before finishing the rest of your shopping adventure.
West Village
If you're shopping for teenagers, college students or perhaps taking advantage of the deals for yourself, the quaint Uptown outdoor shopping destination, filled with boutiques and restaurants along tree-lined streets, is a great option for a small-scale shopping spree. Find shopping staples like J. Crew, Ann Taylor LOFT and Banana Republic next door to Dallas favorites like Untuckedit, Lorna Jane and Mizzen+Main. The Katy Trail, one of the city's best known walking and biking trails, is just steps away from the shops and is a great way to unwind after a shopping outing.
