Karyn Riale maintains a small but impressively curated collection of lingerie, apparel, and accessories at this bright, breezy Upper East Side boutique. The pretty shop is a favorite for bridal-shower gifts, decked with light blond wood floors and a trio of flowery chandeliers. Durable cotton panties trimmed in frothy lace hang in the window above more delicate undergarments by Cosabella and Fleur’t. The clothing is almost uniformly feminine, comfortable, and made from natural (often organic) materials. A predilection for West Coast designers includes L.A. Made tanks, MK2K puckered tops, and Libertas sandals from Venice Beach, along with short, playful dresses, Charlotte cardigans, and velvet hoodies for strolling the boardwalk on any coast. A jewelry case near the register holds simple but eye-catching designs: Chan Luu necklaces, Pade Vavre stone rings, and bright metallic bangles from Anna Beck. — Macy Halford
