Chouchounette (CLOSED)

Since moving her women’s boutique from Atlanta, GA, to Brooklyn in 2010 proved to be such a success, Sue Monderson decided to open a second location in Park Slope—the neighborhood she grew up in. The store’s name comes from a French term of endearment, and the mod black-and-white space is full of women’s clothing ($25–$400), jewelry ($28–$180) and beauty products ($6–$50) from an eclectic mix of indie designers and small businesses. We love Adorn NYC leather dream-catcher–esque chandelier earrings ($48), Vintage Royalty colorful geometric statement earrings ($25–$35), K-Fleye versatile leather harnesses ($150–$200) and Guerilla Soul one-of-a-kind handbags made from reclaimed denim and leather ($90–$150). Gals with a penchant for punk can grab Madness Is studded or color-blocked leggings ($42) and crop tops printed with the phrase "elegantly insane" ($28), while feminine-leaning ladies will opt for Gwen Beloti’s chic spring dresses ($180–$240). Stock your vanity with Callio all-natural floral and musk fragrances ($20), or bath bombs ($6), candles ($16–$35) and lotions ($12–$30) from Sanctuaire, Monderson’s own line of handmade beauty products.
