Commune

Its primary agenda may be haircuts, but this Japanese salon/store has transformed its front half into an otherworldly jewelry shop that's rife with small, hard-to-find collections. All the gold crest-shaped rings, keyhole pendants, and beaded hoop earrings are displayed on first-edition books and patinated antique mirrored trays. 191 Grand St. WILLIAMSBURG 718-384-7412, communesalon.com

Fille de Joie

Styled after a Parisian boudoir, this over-the-top spot—complete with Persian rugs and leopard-print ottomans—offers an exuberant selection of Christian Dior slips and sequined bed jackets. 197 Grand St. WILLIAMSBURG 718-599-3525

Fred Flare

The owners of the previously online-only Fred Flare wanted to try a bricks-and-mortar outpost in a no-pressure, out-of-the-way locale, so they settled on an overlooked section of Greenpoint. Yet in Pied Piper-like fashion, legions of die-hard fans are tramping all the way out to shop the scope of the insanely popular, retro-themed site ($11 sunglasses, boyfriend blazers, kitschy earrings) in person. 131 Meserole Ave. GREENPOINT 718?349-1257, fredflare.com

The Future Perfect

David Alhadeff unleashed his home-goods-store-cum-gallery on a lonely corner in Williamsburg in 2003, and not only has the neighborhood changed significantly in the interim, but The Future Perfect has become the spot in the U.S. for up-and-coming industrial designers to launch their products. This ability to suss out new talent is all on display in the maze-like, slightly cluttered shop, from sculptural tomato red chairs to gazelle skulls that have been dusted with tiny crystals. 115 N. Sixth St. WILLIAMSBURG 718-599-6278, thefutureperfect.com
