THE LEFT BANK, WINE COUNTRY STYLE

 With its architectural dressing rooms, artful displays and chandeliers, MES AMIES (522 N.E. Third St., 503-474-1721) boutique wouldn’t be out of place in Paris. But, since it’s in wine country, it has a local twist. Housed in a former tavern, sisters and co-owners Naomi Rubottom and Shanna Dixon (pictured) incorporated the original bar, giving the clothing shop a unique sensibility. "We’ve made it a social space that makes people welcome when they come in," says Rubottom. "We offer lattes and wine to our customers. People hang out at the bar and eat their lunch."

There are so many eye-catching wearables cleverly laid out on tables, in old display cases and in old trunks that you’ll want to leave with the entire inventory! Popular lines include Arianne Lingerie ($55 for a sapphire-blue velvet tank), Eileen Fisher, Prairie Underground, Dick and Jayne ($141 for the ochre wrap sweater Rubottom is wearing) and Johnny Was ($174 for the embroidered tunic that Dixon has on). Some of the sisters’ best items are found in the jewelry cases, which include necklaces and earrings from vintage metal designs by Alkemie or sterling silver and bronze necklaces made from old wax seals ($90 to $160) by Pyrrha. "Naomi and I used to talk about owing a shop like Mes Amies, and then a few years ago the previous owner made us an offer," says Dixon. "I love owning it. Sometimes, it feels like so much of my life has happened here on Third St."

STYLISH HOME COMFORTS

 If you dream of turning your home into a space where can pull off that difficult trick of being luxurious and understated at the same time, LA BELLA CASA (406 N.E. Third St., 503-435-2313) is the place for glorious goods. Owner Rhonda Feero started the store eight years ago in a small vintage house and has since expanded to a 3,500-square-foot space downtown. "I like to have nice things and a variety of things," says Feero. "Your home is your refuge and you want to have accessories in it that enrich your life. I like my store to be a place where you can relax and come in and browse to get ideas."

A wall by the cash register displays Sid Dickens’ intriguing, beautiful hand-poured and hand-painted plaster tiles ($78 each). Sugarboo handmade photo box frames ($260) add style to traditional snapshots. Deck out your bedroom with a 4-foot by 5-foot rusticcurved mirror ($575) and sink into a comfortable bed with a matelasse cover ($250) by Peacock Alley. Up the romance factor with tall antique brass candlesticks ($38 to $52) and you’ll have a room you’ll never want to leave!
