b. fabulous (CLOSED)

Located on the second floor of a Lincoln Park brownstone, this relatively quiet women’s boutique boasts hardwood floors, bright orange walls and a stress-free shopping scene. With hard-to-find denim lines including Mogg ($152), Grass ($146) and Sergio Valente ($126), plus Free People T-shirts ($48) and an impressive collection of Vince cashmere sweaters ($150-$250), this store appeals to a not-too-daring fashion lover. The small dress collection is also impressive: We love the black sequinned number from Tocca ($275) and the Eva Franco green silk halter dress ($218).
