Looc

Parisian women know how to edit their wardrobes. And the people at Looc do the same for you. Named for a French slang word (it's "cool" spelled backwards), the spacious South End boutique has a minimalist, romantic decor, stocking only special items with an eye toward European elan. Designers are a combination of currently and about-to-be-hot labels from New York and Paris. Looc, 12 Union Park Street, Boston, 617-357-5333, loocboutique.com
