I also like some of the things in the shoe-box boutique of Chocheng Char, a London designer, on Madison.
A small-box boutique of cutting-edge fashion, Seven was once so cool that, when it moved to its current location at 110 Mercer Street in 2005, it was not considered a liability that the space was half hidden underground.
The jewel-box boutique showcases the work of Sophie Laverdure, a former architect who makes sleek, black leather purses and small silvery pouches on slender chains (25 to 350 euros).
Situated next to a giant Buddhist stupa (temple), in the city's Boudhanath district, the jewel-box boutique has garnered enthusiastic fans in Buddhist monasteries in Katmandu and around the globe for its exquisitely wrought metalwork.
Nestled in a former doctor's office at 898 Madison Avenue, the jewel-box boutique was designed by the French architect Patrick Naggar, who drew inspiration from the building's storied Art Deco exterior.
"I don't think there's much French influence anymore," a resident might insist, as you wander past the neighborhood bistro Goutons Voir serving "salade Nice-Beyrouth"; the jewel-box boutique of La Ferme St. Jacques, a local foie gras producer; and the retail shop of Domaine des Tourelles, a winery in the Bekaa Valley founded by a French engineer in 1868.
Douglas J. Dayton, who helped expand his grandfather's Minneapolis dry goods business into a big-box boutique known for quality products, discount pricing and a fake French nickname — though most people just call it Target — died on Friday in Wayzata, Minn.
This magenta and white jewel-box boutique quickly transforms any adult woman into a pretty, pretty princess.
He prizes the area's diversity: jewel-box boutiques and shiny skin-care spas nestled cheek by jowl with Latino-run pawnshops, kosher delis and beauty parlors with old-fashioned hair dryers in full view in the windows.
You'll enjoy yourself more now as well as in the future if you know you won't worry more about how to reduce expenses because you spent too much on an indulgence like a huge box of boutique chocolates, or how to lose weight fast because they were too good to stop eating.
