The PPB's main focus is on couples looking to invigorate their sex lives with props, potions or costumes.

The company's been in business since 1972, which makes Pink Pussycat a trusted name for dommes and submissives alike.

Aedes de Venustas
You’ll be transported to Paris once you step inside this opulent bath-and-body shop. Rich burgundy carpets, gilded wallpaper, a gloriously huge chandelier and a mahogany desk that serves as the checkout area set the stage for the luxurious fragrances ($50–$300), candles ($20–$400), lotions, and soaps from brands like Diptyque and Annick Goutal. Curiosity cabinets house many of the store’s exclusives—the West Village outpost is the only location in the country to sell several items, including candles by Les Secrets Ladurée Paris.

Darling
Head first to this West Village outpost to find a flirty spring dress on a budget, and it’ll likely be your last stop (we recommend scanning the racks for locally made frocks by Kisses by Darling and Raquelle ($128–$328). Fresh flowers displayed throughout match the sunny disposition of the staff. Tables and chairs bordered by ivy-covered walls make for the perfect rest stop for shopping buddies (even four-legged ones) when the backyard garden isn’t being used for vintage sales in the summer. Other dresses range from $98 to $398 and tops cost $50 to $225, with the average vintage necklace ringing in at $58.

Accessorize
Watch your back, Claire’s: A new dirt-cheap costume-jewelry shop has surfaced. U.K. retailer Accessorize is finally bringing its trendy, affordable designs across the pond to a West Village storefront (with a Union Square location opening November 18). We’re talking chunky, jewel-covered cuffs ($25), cluster cocktail rings ($20) and sequined clutches with British flag designs ($58). Sound sparkly? The store itself is as glittery as it gets, with vintage-inspired dressing tables and classic armoires covered in antique gems. Expect to see more from Accessorize in the future; this is the first of 100 planned stores set to open in the U.S. throughout the next four years.

Jimmy Choo (CLOSED)
No luxury-shoe lover’s closet is complete without a pair of Jimmy Choos, and New Yorkers have a third location where they can indulge their affinity for the iconic brand (the label also has stores in Midtown East and on the Upper East Side). Beige carpet, a pale leather banquette, crystal chandeliers and mirrored walls set the stage for the boutique’s main attraction: beautiful shoes. But if you’re not feeling flush, be prepared to simply window-shop—just about everything in the store is $195 and up. Drool over snakeskin stiletto slingbacks ($750), glittery pointy-toed flats ($465), suede clogs ($575) and leather wedge booties ($725). You’ll also find flashier looks, such as studded suede gladiator sandals ($765) and platform pumps with crystal-encrusted stiletto heels ($1,695). Additional accessories fill the shelves, including large calfskin wallets ($595), credit-card-sized zippered pouches ($225), large mock-crocodile handbags ($1,850) and long wool-silk-blend scarves ($450).
