The Marina and Russian Hill : Lucky Magazine

Abigail Morgan

Laid out like an old Victorian apartment, this boutique devotes different rooms to each part of your wardrobe: Clothing by Wendy Hil and Alice + Olivia is found in the entry room, while a back area is dedicated to underwear and active apparel. One bedroom even serves as the biggest and best changing area we've ever seen.

Cris Consignment

This is the consignment shop of our dreams. We've found a gorgeous YSL trench coat for $250 and good-as-new Christian Louboutin espadrilles for $150. Clothing is arranged by color and isn't crowded on racks, which makes the store feel more boutique than vintage.

Oceana Rain

Perfect lighting, symmetrical displays, and muted colors make everything in this shop appear fancier than it is. The store is edited eclectically and carries standbys next to up-and-comers, and nostalgic band T-shirts serve as a perfect foil for more elegant blazers by DVF. Bonus: The staff offers services at almost the personal-shopping level.

Wingard

We were won over by designer Kenneth Wingard's candy-color ceramic vases—they're all you need to perk up a room. His first boutique offers his entire home decor line.
