Personal Endorsement: Bluemercury
Woo Skincare + Cosmetics nabs this year’s honors for “Best Beauty Store,” but I also have to give props to the Bluemercury chain out of D.C.
Beauty Store: Woo Skincare + Cosmetics
Inside this local shop’s two Atlanta locations (the second opened this year on West Paces Ferry), find an irresistible array of top-notch beauty products, like pricey creams by La Mer and bright Nars lip pencils.
Lingerie: La Perla
This minimalist Buckhead Atlanta shop feels like a museum—appropriate, given the price tags befitting works of art. A lace bra will run you up to $700, while basic stretch thongs retail for $28 to $360.
Affordable Suits: Suitsupply
Not interested in taking out a second mortgage to buy a custom suit—or doing your shopping in a warehouse? Suitsupply has a modern, upscale vibe, with a busy tailoring station just inside the door.
Record Store: Criminal Records
It can be a daunting task to flip through the racks and racks of vinyl records and CDs inside this 5,000 square-foot Little Five Points establishment.
Gifts: The Merchant
After opening its doors on the Westside in 2013, this eclectic gift shop added a second outpost this fall at Krog Street Market.
Bookstore: Little Shop of Stories
Yes, this Decatur gem is mostly a kids bookstore—and a good one, with a cozy play tent to page through the latest Fancy Nancy—but the shelves also contain a thoughtfully selected adult fiction section.
Bath and Spa Products: Ona Atlanta
Pure, clean scents greet customers at this hostess-gift haven at Shops Around Lenox, opened nearly four years ago by sisters Jenny and Sarah Bronczek.
Men’s Vintage: Tough Boot & Co.
Tucked behind the Westside Provisions District, owner Luis Toache’s unassuming shop carries a mix of vintage and vintage inspired shirts, work wear, denim, loafers, accessories, and, yes, boots.
Art Supply Store: Binders
The spacious Ponce City Market location houses an extensive selection of arty inventory, but the streamlined layout makes it easy to navigate.
