Landsberg Jewelers
Rye Brook
(914) 510-8920; landsbergjewelers.com
A stunning selection and the warm, attentive service you’d get if you had a family member in the jewelry biz are the twin hallmarks of this elegant, fine jewelry boutique. Brothers Jeffrey and Jonathan Landsberg grew up work- ing in the family’s flagship in Manhattan’s diamond district, owned by their dad, Norman. You don’t hang out around diamonds that long without picking up a thing or two. The extensive selection is studded with names like Christopher Designs, Gurhan, Penny Preville, Sethi Couture, and others that you won’t find just anywhere. Not sure if something is just right? You’ll be encouraged to take it home for a day to see. And, just like family, they also lend pieces to wear for big events.
Brothers Jeffrey and Jonathan Landsberg have a long history with jewelry.
chain. But, come on, would Westchester be Westchester with- out our Neiman? We’d be remiss to leave off our list this heaven- on-earth-for-fashion-junkies de- partment store. (The shoe depart- ment alone deserves entry into Best of the Decade.) And with designers like Carolina Herrera, Proenza Schouler, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Marc Jacobs, who can blame us for considering the store one of the best places from which to stock a wardrobe?

stuff isn’t cheap, but, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
MARCH
Briarcliff Manor (914) 923-2100 marchboutique.com
March isn’t big, nor particularly easy to find. But take our advice and make the effort to wend your way to this boutique. It is a true gem. Enter, close your eyes, head to any rack, choose something at random, and...perfection. Owner Lynn Puro knows how to stock her shop with clothes that are elegant yet hip. And the best part? The cost: surprisingly reasonable.
There are special occasions,
and then there are special occa-
sions. The kind that require an
Oscar de la Renta or maybe a little
something from Christian Dior.
Mary Jane Denzer has been dress-
ing Westchester women for these
occasions for more than 30 years,
carefully choosing gowns, cocktail
dresses, and black-tie outfits that
bear names like Carolina Herrera,
Elie Saab, Monique Lhullier, Reem
Acra, Zac Posen, and Valentino. The (914) 713-0300

Walking through Klaff’s 19,000-square-foot showroom
is not like slugging through the aisles at Home Depot but travers- ing the Museum of Excellent Kitchens and Baths. As you walk through, you’ll want to wrap up each vignette whole and bring it
home. But start small; why deny yourself the pleasure of checking out the store’s impressive selec- tion of tiles, decorative hardware, and other home décor items?
