Beautiful Collection

of Day into Evening

Also peddling wares are Incognito
(323 S. Main, 248-548-2980), known
for its avant-garde, iconic clothing
and accessories for men and women,
Shapes (319 S. Main, 248-547-4990)
for frothy frocks, the fetishist's play-
ground Noir Leather (124 W. Fourth,
248-541-3979) and Prodigy (360 S.
Main, 248-544-2550) for sleek men's
and women's fashions.
For those whose who crave a little
South Beach style, Dolce Moda (505
S. Main, 248-399-6200) and Chrome
(117 W. Fourth, 248-399-1689) are
more than up to the task with sexy
attire for men and women.
In addition to being a savvy lot,
Royal Oak's merchants are literal, too,
at least when it comes to branding
their establishments. There's Superior
Fish (309 E. 11 Mile, 248-541-4632),
known region-wide for its, dare it be
said, superior quality and selection,
the hobbyist's Nirvana that is The
Stamping Grounds (228 W. Fourth,
248-543-2190), Lost and Found
Vintage (510 W. Washington, 248-
548-6154), where one man's "junk" is
certain to be another's treasure sooner
or later, and the Uppity Puppy (706
S. Washington, 248-336-2380) with
all the bells and whistles today's pam-
pered pooches would ever need, and
Bra-vo Intimates (517 S. Washington,
248-582-7286) for women's lingerie
and expert bra fitting services.
There's also neat-as-a-pin Rare
Old Prints (516 S. Washington, 248-
548-5588), so hushed you'll hear that
pin drop, Footprints (122 S. Main,
248-542-0901) for casual, comfortable

footwear, the Lilliputian-sized Burn
Rubber (202 W. Fourth, 248-543-
3000) for the coolest trainers for men
and women and Write Impressions
(407 S. Washington, 248-541-8921) for
those who prefer putting pen to paper
rather than fingers to keyboard.
Also in the mix is the fun and funky
home accessory store Shine (621
S. Washington, 248-414-5277) and
Poppy Beauty Bar (220 W. Fourth,
248-545-7466) stocking hard-to-find
cosmetics and skincare lines.
To all of this add clothing choices
for the smallest members of the fam-
ily. Moms-to-be will want to check
out the modern maternity wear and
accessories at HullaBalloo (210 W.
Sixth, 248-398-8890), while moms
with tykes in tow will gush over the
offerings in Sprout, which calls itself
a neighborhood kid's store (619 W.
Washington, 248-399-5560).
Kids a little older — and funkier
— will want to finger the goods at
new-kid-on-the-block Syd & Samz
(110 W. Fourth, 248-556-8586), while
fans of fashions from an earlier time
will surely fall in love with the well-
edited vintage clothing and accesso-
ries at Paris (112 E. Fourth, 248-542-
9594).
Look for fine timepieces, precious
gems or custom-designed jewelry at
Metals in Time (400 S. Main, 248-
582-9344), now in a grand limestone
edifice once home to a bank, or Todd
Girard's (738 S. Washington, 248-544-
0011).
With all the residential development
in town, furnishing a new downtown
pad means nothing more than
walking out the front door to
the contemporary Bright Ideas
(220 S. Main, 248-541-9940),
vintage (mid-century) Vertu
(514 S. Washington, 248-545-
6050), accessories with an Asian
touch from Lotus Import Co.
(419 S. Washington, 248-546-
8820) and the nearby La Roche
Artifacts (509 S. Washington,
248-543-2770) for historically-
and architecturally-inspired
home accents.
And, if anything needs reup-
holstering, Haberman Fabrics
(905 S. Main, 248-541-0010) is
sure to come to the rescue in
great style.
