Ladyslipper Boutique (4940 France Ave)
Named after the delicate state flower of Minnesota, this boutique on 50th and France definitely makes a local girl proud. With a mix of classic and up-and-coming designers, the owners have created a gorgeous space filled with goods for every price range. The boutique is known for its amazing assortment of shoes, but the little extras carry their own chic touches as well. Bright and bold headbands and hats add a perfect pop to a classic white tee with pedal-pusher jeans.
Dichotomy (611 E. Lake Street)
While this Wayzata boutique carries a little bit of everything, its penchant for the rare and unique will make you feel like you stepped into someone’s closet. Browsing the racks and displays, you’ll find dresses in darling summer prints, stunning silk scarves, and gorgeous cloth bags perfect for toting your beach towel and flip flops. With an ever-changing selection of items, this little gem is a place that always keeps us coming back for more.
Melly (3327 Galleria)
If you don’t enter this store in a bright mood, we would put bets down that you’ll leave with one – and a sunny summer item to match! A Lilly Pullitzer Via Store, this Galleria boutique features an abundance of designers and items that make us feel warmer all winter long. Take advantage of the summer months to show off your legs in a knee-skimming bohemian-inspired tunic or add shimmer to your evening attire with a clutch in golden sand shades.
