Manhattan

Wit abounds at this appointment-and-weekends-only storefront that's part cheeky art gallery, part eclectic rare 
book dealer and part eccentric lifestyle shop (check out 
the rolling salt and 
pepper shakers 
and customizable trophies). And all 
of it is a full and convincing testament to cofounder Andy Spade's remarkable brain.

Australian designer Emma Fletcher brings Tocca's ready-to-wear line back to life with 
a collection of proper lacy blouses, high-waisted silk scalloped shorts and woolly double-breasted swing coats that are sold alongside the brand's much-beloved beauty line.

The whacked-out green-and-yellow-painted walls might suggest otherwise, 
but this consignment mecca packs a serious stockpile of high-
end, gently used designer everything. Recent spottings include a pebbled Chanel wallet and a sharp-shouldered leather Balmain jacket that we maybe wore around the store for an hour.

The functional and the pretty converge 
at this Chelsea 
home haven, where sleek dark wood side tables, agate crystal coasters, delicate 
gold wire tree sculptures and oversize embroidered pillows are all artfully crafted and often locally produced.

You'll fight crowds at the Canadian retail giant's double-decker stateside flagship, but while its distinctive in-house brands, 
an outstanding denim selection and gentle price tags justify some elbowing, remember that the sunlit 
second floor is far 
less trafficked.

We've always loved Dolce Vita for wedges and booties that don't cost much but look like they do. Now, with a new location (not yet open at press time), its steadily expanding line of apparel (silk printed blouses, A-line skirts, cozy knit ponchos) is becoming a budget-friendly force in its own right.

First you spot the red suede pumps. Then you spy the Karen Walker sunglasses. Next you get to a shelf with Collina Strada clutches and over there, you see an ivory pintucked top. Then it hits you: This store is like getting trapped inside a giant closet owned by the coolest girl ever.

An American flag and worn wooden armoire get the message across that Duo, started by two Minnesota-born sisters, is an homage to both the past and patriotism. The store favors emerging 
local designers who produce in the U.S., 
as well as vintage staples like a flannel-lined khaki anorak and brown leather ankle boots.

Antique glass shelves lined with a twinkling collection of the world's rarest perfumes (and cool candles from Ladurée) make this apothecary-feeling "temple of beauty" 
so incredible.

Don't be scared by the dark, graffiti-filled stairwell—you're in the right place. This secret spot is full of international home pieces (red lamp shades from Hong Kong, wooden utensils from Sweden), all displayed on illuminated tiered shelves along with typed-up tales of the item's origin.
