Shopping is like riding a bike. Although it may have been a while since you've hit the stores, you'll get back in the swing of things as soon as you are ready to return. And if you don't feel comfortable shopping in person, you can always shop online. These buzzy Dallas-area stores and sales are worth a swipe of your credit card or a click of your mouse this month.
Audemars Piguet
Swiss watches? You have our attention. The Audemars and Piguet families still control this luxury watchmaking manufacturer, which is based in the Vallée de Joux in the heart of the Swiss mountains.

Also, the boutique is accepting cashless payments only at this time.
Queen Maddyn
Warning: Cuteness ahead. This brand by Jordyn McQueen, based in Waco, features adorable "matching" designs that let mommy and baby to share the same look. Offered in new prints each season, the gift sets are the best sellers.
