Top of the Town 2011

This Berkeley treasure is housed inside an early 20th-century bungalow—a warm, chandelier-lit space with a mostly casual selection that runs the gamut from Banana Republic to Gucci. Each item has a buyer-friendly tag that displays the current price and the month-by-month markdown, so you’ll know when to spend. Perhaps most inviting, however, are the three sisters—Wendy, Jennifer, and Sue—who run the store. These gals will help you find a piece or a whole wardrobe, no matter how long it takes (and they’ll be honest about what flatters your figure). The shoe collection, brimming with designers like Jimmy Choo, is worth noting; but we’ve recently been eyeing the lineup of vintage Coach purses. 4232 Tennyson St., 303-477-7800
