Fabulous Finds

by chiaze

It's hard to find stylish boutiques that don't stock the same things as everyone else, so Delilah Crown was a fabulous discovery for me and friends. The owner does beautiful illustrations that she puts on tees and tanks. There are totally desirable dresses and skirts from Canadian, Japanese and other independent designers, many also featuring cute prints. It's a boutique that can make any girl melt.

• Pros: unique and beautiful items
• Cons: on the pricey side ($50 to $200)

In Short
This tranquil shop is a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of nearby Columbus Avenue. Shoppers who refuse to sacrifice style for comfort will delight in the array of long-sleeved tees, cozy sweaters and feminine skirts--about half of which were designed by owner Kristina De Pizzol. Wares from Sanctuary, Orla Kiely and Talla fill the rest of the store, along with children's clothing, Lothantique bath products, handbags and stationery.
