Store You'll Love: Dagny & Barstow
We’re crushing on this Bowery boutique—but don't worry, they also have a website.
Shopping
Acre/SF
It’s a literal hike to this hip new Telegraph Hill boutique (the sister to indie-designer store Acrimony). But edgy Funktional tops, Joomi Lim cuffs and stunning views make the climb seriously worth it. 301 Union St., 415-875-9590, acresf.com
Shopping
Boutique Larrieux
This downtown boutique carries expertly tailored wraps from Anna Scholz, vampy cocktail wear from Monif C. and super-comfortable loungewear from Chalet.
Shopping
Bombshell
Denise Alden seeks out pieces that manage to be both sophisticated and comfortable, like Zen Knits deep V-neck tops, Lucie Lu’s flower-embellished tanks and Jibri’s summery wrap dresses.
Shopping
Voluptuous Vixen
The lingerie selection here, with bras up to size 44JJ, is peerless—as is owner (and photographer) Jaclyn McCabe, who has an eye for figure-flattering designs from David Meister, Anna Scholz and Jessica Svoboda.
Shopping
Buxom
Bree Reed names Gossip lead singer Beth Ditto as inspiration at this disco-ball-adorned, one-year-old shop. Ditto's exuberant spirit is evident in wildly patterned maxi dresses from Fashion Love and pink party frocks from S.W.A.K.
Shopping
Vive La Femme
Kiyonna wraps and Igigi's beautifully cut cocktail dresses are highlights here, not to mention its roster of special events, like photo shoots with local studio Vavoom Pin-Ups.
Shopping
Plush Boutique
Whether you visit the elegant bricks-and-mortar shop in Kirkwood Station or its extensive online complement, Plush is a reliable resource for showstopping dresses, like rainbow minis from Hello Eliza and evening selections from Vitamin C.
Shopping
Fresh Ayer
Parsons design grad Liz Ayerle sells staples like Yummie Tummie tank tops (featuring a control panel across the midsection) and Diane Kennedy’s silky day-to-evening pants—and she recently launched her own collection of blouses at this 2,700-square-foot boutique.
Shopping
Fat Fancy
This new-and-vintage downtown Portland shop grew out of a sale that cofounder Annie Maribona once held in her apartment.
