City Guide Portland, OR
Grab an organic latte, hop a streetcar and shop this famously alternative—and beautiful—city's surprisingly worldly boutique scene. (Bonus: There's absolutely zero sales tax.)
Odessa
Portlanders who skew more Charlotte Gainsbourg than Carrie Brownstein love this airy boutique’s Parisian-accented designer staples, including Saint James striped tees, Isabel Marant chambray overalls and Repetto ballet flats.

Animal Traffic
The best of the West is packed into this Mississippi Avenue vintage spot, a converted dance hall featuring a blend of old (’60s Pendleton blankets, ’70s fringe vests) and new (chunky wool socks, Minnetonka moccasins).

Fat Fancy
This new-and-vintage downtown Portland shop grew out of a sale that cofounder Annie Maribona once held in her apartment. It takes a playful approach to sizing: Ally (size 12 and under), Plush (12 to 14), Hot (16 to 20), Divine (22 to 24) and Fun (size 26 and up).
