Aurora - Maison de Cuisine
Read Reviews4216 Oak Lawn Ave, Dallas, TX 75219 (map)
You won't see less than a 4- or 5- dollar sign rating for this date-worthy and business-friendly dining spot, but a prix fixe lunch offers a taste of haute cuisine for less than $20. The pan-seared Jutta Ranch Free-Range Chicken with Pomme Frites is a classic example of dishes prepared with local ingredients and European flair.

If you've ever donned Chanel, Donna Karen or Prada, it's hard to imagine wearing anything else. You don't have to go back to the synthetic and faux world ever again with this consignment boutique just around the corner. The Dallas elite leave drop off their Gucci gowns or Dana Buchman business suits (that they've worn once or twice) and you buy them for a fraction of the retail cost. And even the best brands get the toughest critiques here as the buyers won't accept a flaw--even if it is Versace.

The Oriental influence was initial in their design but, frugal shoppers will find products of the global persuasion, too.

It's too good of a secret to keep to yourself: totally cheap trends. Extremely hip bags, bracelets, belts and more look like the luxury labels except for the price. Here, take home three purses for the cost of one at that chic boutique, or pick up a steal on sterling silver jewelry, sunglasses and hair accessories.
