Editors’ Picks

Cool Consignment Shops

Style columnist Adrienne Wichard-Edds’ favorite stops for secondhand treasures and designer bargains:

Best for Funky Finds: Betsy and Cornelia’s

Owner Betsy Flanagan translates her embrace-all vibe into a store filled with offbeat treasures. A flower-bedecked duck? Sure! Your grandma’s china pattern? You bet! A pair of barely worn Manolo Blahniks? If you’re lucky. betsyandcornelias.com

Best for Kids’ Couture and Maternity Formal Wear: Bellies & Babies

Moms and moms-to-be can rent special-occasion gowns and dress for an ever-changing waistline while they pick up new and like-new kids’ clothing and gear from brands such as Isabelle Oliver, Petit Bateau and Phil & Ted’s. belliesbabies.com

Best for Party Girls: Current Boutique

No vintage here, ladies. Instead, you’ll find designer jeans, cocktail dresses, chic accessories and silky little numbers that are perfect for a night on the town, thanks to owner Carmen Lopez, who has her finger on the pulse of the latest fashion trends. currentboutique.com

Best for a Charity Gala: New to You

With the cash you save on that Herve Leger gown (with tags attached!) and that Alexis Bittar cocktail ring, you can afford the generous donation to your favorite good cause. newtoyou.net

Best for Vintage Gifts: No Place Like Home

Old-school opulence fills many a corner of Renee Henninger’s quaint little shop, where you’re apt to find gold-rimmed champagne saucers, antique cocktail pitchers and mix-and-match china teacups. It’s also my secret source for grandma-chic jewelry—like Bakelite cuffs and elegant paste earrings. 5140 Wilson Blvd., Arlington
