Favoring the European lines she loves, Melissa Lovoy fills her open, studio-style store with items that entertain an interplay of opposites: casual and elegant, refined and raw, edgy and classic, simple and sophisticated. Shelves are dotted with handmade housewares that make the home happier, racks hang with easily styled garments and small-batch apothecary products with rare ingredients and arousing fragrances are sprinkled throughout the boutique. Everything in her carefully edited collection of independent designer finds is something special.

Boho chic may seem like an oxymoron but in the world of designer Dierdre Roffoni, the phrase is a reminder of her travels and design inspirations. Taking a cue from her time spent on the fun, carefree island of Formentera, Spain, Xirena infuses a breeziness into the line, which runs the gamut from boldly-printed lingerie to tailored lounge pants and relaxed blouses. With Xirena, vacation isn’t just a destination, it’s a state of mind.
