Where To Shop

Cottage Chic is easy to spot among the row of cute houses in Dilworth. Just look for the pink awning out front. Between the fashionable stationery and candy-colored retro fridges, you'll free your inner diva. Worthy splurges: Bella Notte linens, stylish lamps, kate spade diaper bags, and the mother lode of BedHead pajamas.

Spend an afternoon shopping at Phillips Place, a chichi outdoor shopping street with high-end boutiques, fabulous restaurants, and upscale chain stores. Don't miss: Dean & Deluca, a Euro-style market with fresh-baked breads, international ingredients, and other gourmet culinary treats.

Nearby, nab a sidewalk table at Dean & Deluca's Wine Room, a hot spot for chilling out. Buy a bottle (no corkage fee), or choose from 70 fine wines sold by the glass.

Left: Spoil yourself a little with a purchase at Cottage Chic.
