This six-floor shopping palace�the only U.S. outpost for the popular Japanese retailer�divides its kaleidoscopic selection of merchandise into six artfully curated departments. On the top floor, beauty addicts stock up on ultra-high-enders, including La Base fragrances and color and skin care from Babor Day Spa, while house gifts and decadent treats abound on each level: tabletop accessories, vintage furniture, and bath and bedroom products�everything from elegant sake bowls and silk robes to necklaces and earrings by Gabriella Kiss. Downstairs, the colorful arrangements in the first-floor floral boutique are crafted with a new fusion of contemporary French and Japanese style. (One gorgeous bouquet mixed deep-pink peonies and magenta calla lilies with bamboo shoots and orchids.) You can complete your serene shopping experience in the heavenly Tea Box salon, a basement-level café serving 42 varieties of tea.
