Candy Land has nothing on the new So Bev boutique. (No dentists allowed.)
Stay cool, calm, and collected as you cruise the front of the store with its refined, relaxed women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. Or skip straight to the all-natural apothecary in back and totally freak out.
She knows what girls like. She knows what girls want. This eastside boutique stocks well-priced women’s clothing, accessories, and shoes for the everyday feminine set.
Spin yourself right round at this website-turned-curatorial boutique with clothing for guys and dolls, piles of accessories, and a shoe loft. Merchandise can change on a whim to spotlight trends, geographic regions, or designers.
The NYC import challenges the West Coast with its expanded signature line of clothing and shoes for men and women. Root for Cali with local labels Hansel from Basel, Katy Rodriguez, and Band of Outsiders.
Once solely a shoe mecca, the leopard-clad shop now carries your favorite clothing labels like Alexander Wang, Vivienne Westwood, and Grey Ant. Of course, shoe addicts can still get their toes into Report Signature platform pumps or wooden Chloé wedges.
If Dashiell Hammett and Humphrey Bogart were resurrected to open a menswear boutique together, this would be it. Not just classic houndstooth sport coats and rakish fedoras but all the accoutrements for some old-school dolce vita: whiskey tumblers, cuff links, and chrome shaving kits.
A bit of highbrow English lingerie naughtiness to get your knickers in a twist. Or laced up the back. Or snapped in front. Or tied in a bow.
No boys allowed at this vintage warehouse loved for its bargain prices. So grab a frock and strip to try it on wherever you please. Shopgirls keep a stash of ribbon belts and honest opinions at the ready.
