Some provide much-needed retail therapy; others come through when you're having a serious fashion emergency. There are shops you rely on for that one-of-a-kind hostess gift or birthday present for your best friend. And then there are those charming shops that you and your mother and grandmother have been shopping in since you were a little girl. Whether big city or small town, there are so many incredible spots to shop. And proof was in the list that were are revealing today. Some of your favorites of 2017 are classics that have been around for decades, a few shops are new to the areas (hello, Reese Witherspoon's Nashville boutique!), but they all have a sense of community and great stylish sensibility. The Paris Market stands took the top spot overall. This little Savannah gem blends Southern hospitality with European aesthetics, whether it's scooping lavender buds into cloth sacks near the cash register, finding an instant dose of aromatherapy through their candle collection, or admiring the mix of French antiques in the basement level. 01 of 15 Alabama: Leaf & Petal Courtesy of Leaf & Petal Birmingham, Alabama 02 of 15 Arkansas: Green Corner Store Nancy Nolan Little Rock, Arkansa 03 of 15 Florida: Rifle Paper Co.
