I've come to realize that I really enjoy the idea of shopping in boutiques versus battling the crowds and overstuffed clothing racks at major clothing or discount stres. Don't get me wrong, I will battle it out for a good bargain, but sometimes I just want to ENJOY shopping instead of feeling like I just ran a marathon by the time I come home. Of course, this also involves having a much larger shopping budget for buying unique items at designer prices...something I'll have to get used to!
Living in Portland I am very fortunate to be around such great shopping areas that include private boutiques that showcase local designers' goods. So that means that I won't find LA boutique price tags either. I have found a few winners that I think are worth stopping by and I may even approach them as I start finding local businesses to sell my handmade products. Here are a few that I enjoy:
Amalee Boutique (great website, Anthropolgie-esque style)
Phlox (feminine style with an edge)
Tumbleweed (urban prarie, great dresses & skirts)
