Best Women�s Clothing Store: CUPCAKE

728 S. Broadway, (410) 522-1970, poppyandstella.com

Made with leather, suede, canvas, cork, wood, buckles, satin, patent, and bows, shoes are covetable by most women, right? We adore $300 leather Frye boots like we eat salad—it’s stupid simple—and Frye’s super-high clogs in the sweetest gray leather are on our fall desire list. There are all sorts of giant places to buy shoes at a discount, but to shop the latest and local is totes fun, so we hit up little Poppy and Stella for the prettiest, toughest, flattest, highest, cutest, and most wearable shoes for the season—whatever season—and for whatever occasion. It always carries the nicest tall boots, chic booties, comfy ballet flats, strappy sandals, and sexy heels along with a tight collection of cool work-worthy loafers and stacked heels. Plus, the sales rack is meant to move shoes.
