Although we love our department stores, we are all about the boutiques lately. Sometimes it’s just nice to get the full story and have access to the complete collection. Shopping boutiques allows you to clearly see the designers’ vision for the season in its entirety – not just the point-of-view of one department store and its buyers. We love the people we work with at each boutique and recommend that for a great shopping experience, you ask for them by name! Take a look at our uptown list of current faves:
