For budding hipsters who want to dress like their older sibs, American Eagle Outfitters offers similarly spun baby-, kid-, and tween-appropriate designs. There are faux-leopard fur vests, graffiti knit hoodies, and even faux-leather moto jackets. The in-store vibe is cool, with interactive touch-screen kiosks and custom soundtracks, as the company aims to engage not just parents but also its pint-size customers.

After four years selling a stylish mix of mid-century modern and newly designed furniture in Portland, Maine, Brian Latham and Shawneric Hachey have brought their show (along with greyhounds Belle and Bobby) to Boston: Eames leather lounges, marble-topped Saarinen tables, contemporary creations from Blu Dot and Foscarini. The pieces and the partners’ personal attention are a pleasure, as is the free design consulting.
