Prior to this weekend, I was 16 the last time I visited Vail. At that time, the shopping (as I remember it) consisted of stores for funny hats and t-shirts. While the purpose of my recent visit was
non-work related, I am still me and thus had to check out the fashion/style scene. Things have definitely changed since 1996. If you find yourself in Vail, here are my recommendations for the best shopping spots for your closet and home.
Perch- Definitely the best contemporary boutique in the valley, Perch is an adorable space and carries a variety of lines I consider �fan favorites�: Theory, DVF, Clover Canyon, Tibi, Rag & Bone, Vince, Twelfth Street, etc. If you�re looking for something new for a night out, this is the place you�ll find it.
Cos Bar- Sephora, eat your heart out. This thoughtfully curated cosmetics boutique carries all the quality, gimmick-free brands you need (Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown) without any of the junk. I was especially impressed with their stock of Tom Ford (unisex perfumes and cosmetics) and Cle de Peau (which boasts the best under eye concealer on the market).
Betteridge Jewelers- In the jewelry industry, Betteridge has a long and distinguished history. As a teen living in Connecticut, I remember the dazzling estate pieces that decorated the windows of their Greenwich Avenue store. For browsing (or gawking), it�s worth a visit.
Worth Home- This store gets it exactly right. A synergy of high-end home furnishings and accessories in the rustic contemporary style, this is the stuff you save for, splurge on, and will have forever. If you need a hostess gift, their candle lines are fabulous.
Matsuhisa- Unlike many lifestyle blogs, I intentionally stay away from food-related topics. However, a visit to Vail�s most chichi restaurant is about the cuisine as much as the architecture and design. The restaurant�s interior, with its soaring ceilings, massive windows and mountain views, is a revelation.
