Best store for women's clothing
If you're looking for a Boston boutique with flair, color, creativity, and class, you know you need to go to Jasmine Sola. The walls full of designer shirts by Michael Stars, C&C, and Three Dots and the denim from the most fabulous brands would be enough. But you'll also find skirts, dresses, tops, lingerie, and accessories galore to spice up your wardrobe. There are enough scarves, fabulously fun hats, coats, belts, and hair accessories to keep you busy and sufficiently ornamented indefinitely.

For earthy countryside flair, our readers chose Anthropologie. Its items are whimsical and airy, giving off a classy, understated, and - most of all - pretty look. Shop here for girlie dresses and skirts, knits and Ts, elegant coats, and a refreshingly unusual array of sweaters, cardigans, and blazers. Enter a drab New England woman, flounce out a pretty forest nymph, a dairymaid from the English countryside, or a fanciful poet. No matter what, you'll look just great.
