TOPBUTTON.com: Retail Detail - No Boarding Pass Required

Imagine taking a tour of the most fashion-forward boutiques in New York City where independent designer styles meet inspired interior spaces. Now imagine taking this fabulous sartorial tour without ever leaving your desktop. Refinery29Shops handpicks the choicest finds from the best of New York’s independent fashion emporiums, from impeccably refined pieces from Mick Margo in the West Village to the unbridled femininity at Brooklyn’s own Bird. A sprinkling of shops in Chicago (Eskell) and Los Angeles (All Purpose) keep Refinery29Shops from being too Big Apple-centric without loosing any cool factor.

Wherever the shop is located in the real world, Refinery29Shops offers one-stop internet shopping for signature pieces like Anna Sui’s interpretation of the Little Black Dress done in sweet polka dots, or a jewel-toned silk charmeuse top by Shelly Steffee to wear with everything from jeans to a work day suit. Be sure to check out the impeccable selection of jewelry from Honey In The Rough, especially Sabrina Dehoff’s caged lovebird earrings or vaguely creepy bunny mask necklace.

With the kind of world-class shopping that once required a plane ticket to New York City, Refinery29Shops is the ultimate in armchair traveling for the fashionable set. Bon voyage!
