New York Shopping Guide

Aedes de Venustas

"Lair" is the best word to describe this fantasy world of hard-to-find fragrances, lotions, and soaps.

Albertine

It's nearly impossible to step into any of Kyung Lee's shops (the three are all in a row) on any given weekend without encountering at least one Lucky editor. That's because Lee is constantly taking risks on emerging labels—all with a romantic air—and she's almost always on hand to ensure that everything fits beautifully. Her two most recently opened projects, Albertine Workshop and Albertine General, provide custom reworked vintage dresses and curiosity-shop-like home goods, respectively. Albertine: 13 Christopher St. WEST VILLAGE 212-924-8515; Albertine Workshop: 19 Christopher St. WEST VILLAGE 212-924-8515; Albertine General: 15 Christopher St. WEST VILLAGE 212-924-8515, albertine-nyc.com

Annelore

A Lucky favorite since its inception in 2002, this shop's namesake line has a retro undercurrent. The collection is imbued with a romantic Eastern European influence: Jumpers are made from men's twill suiting, and Prussian-floral-print dresses feature pristine white French cuffs.
636 Hudson St. (at Horatio St.), 212-255-5574

Apartment 48

This cleverly conceived home decor shop is designed like an actual apartment: There's a Moroccan-influenced living room, an understated kitchen, a chinoiserie-influenced bedroom, a primary-bright nursery, and a botanical-themed bathroom.
12 W. 17th St. (between Fifth and Sixth Aves.), 212-807-1391, apartment48.com

Aloha Rag

This Honolulu-based operation is probably most known for its website, which is one of the best resources in the world for highly stylish items from designers both luxe (Lanvin, Chloé) and kooky-cool (Hysteric Glamour). What many don't realize is that there's also an all-white, sun-drenched emporium in the far West Village. 505 Greenwich St. WEST VILLAGE 212-925-0882, aloharag.com
