Bergdorf Goodman New York

These are premier designers and their luxury goods. Must admit that just swinging that fudge-striped bag around town somehow feels over the top.

Nordstrom Dallas

Only a few years old, this Nordstrom is one of the Seattle-based chain’s coolest with super chic displays and decor. The men’s, women’s, teens, and children’s fashions (don’t miss the signature shoe section) are fashion forward, but fairly affordable. The third floor hosts home decor, the in-house resto, and under-the-radar spa.

Barneys New York New York

Wall Street wives and well-heeled downtowners go here to shop for the classics. For a little more funk, the Soho Co-Op has the best of the best emerging designers (don’t expect to spend less, though).
