Putting a hipster clothing boutique in a stately old library building on Moreland Avenue was a stroke of genius when WISH opened a dozen or so years back. Now, several owners and inventory changes later, the shop has reached its full potential with a spectacular renovation that would feel like a SoHo art gallery — if you weren’t so consumed with browsing through its racks of Nice Collective, True Religion and Martin Margiela. The clean lines, black-and-white palette and stark furnishings of the main floor are made less imposing by the use of lowly materials such as bare plywood for wall paneling and construction nails for accessory hooks. Downstairs, the dim, book-lined shoe vault, where specialty kicks rest dramatically on glowing white boxes, is an equally captivating space. And the brilliant ad campaign — shots of local musicians wearing Wish’s wares — only complements the store’s hot new look.

It’s barely a year old, but Inman Park’s ADORE HAIR STUDIO & SHOPPE has attracted a — dare we say it? — adoring clientele, and deservedly so. The handsome, minimalist loft space, decorated in shades of chocolate with leather armchairs serving as the styling seats, has drawn talent from some of the city’s most popular salons, Many former clients of those salons have followed suit. Adore carries the coveted Bumble and bumble product line — a sign of its chops — and several stylists trained at the prestigious Bb University in New York City. Stylist Brenton Anderson has been featured on two episodes of Fox’s “Ambush Makeover,” and he and others at Adore have styled the hair of actors, models and rock stars. More importantly, the salon’s website states, is the work it has done on “moms, dads, sisters, brothers, cousins and you!” As several beatific clients have pointed out, the only thing missing at Adore is the attitude.

So you want to invite your new beau to your place for dinner, but there’s just one teensy problem: You don’t know the difference between bouillon and bouillabaisse, a skillet and a grill pan, chardonnay and Viognier. Let STAR PROVISIONS come to the rescue. The upscale market flanks Bacchanalia, one of the city’s finest restaurants, and offers plenty of options for piecing together the perfect, premade dinner-to-go. A meal of flank steak and arugula, with a side of risotto, a simple starter of French baguette and chevre, a dessert of Valrhona chocolate cake, and a heady cabernet to wash it down won’t come cheap, but all you have to do is follow the reheating instructions. You do know how to turn on the oven, right?

Move over, yoga and Pilates. A long-ignored form of Russian strength training is making a comeback, and disciples swear that two months of the exercise does more to lift the derriere (and improve balance and agility) than a year’s worth of sun salutations. KETTLEBELL TRAINING AT STUDIO LOTUS offers a departure from the mat classes and private instruction that are typically offered at the Morningside Pilates studio. Attendees of any of the seven weekly Kettlebell classes ($185 for a once-a-week, eight-week series) will be greeted with a cast-iron, bell-shaped weight with a handle on top, which is swung using both arms in various arcs and loops. In less than an hour, the low-impact exercise burns fat, sculpts muscles and offers a rigorous cardio workout. Expect to be sore — to the point of not being able to sit.

It’s more than 2,000 miles away from Haight-Ashbury, but on a good weekend, Finley Square is a gathering ground full of free spirits — some filled with the alcoholic variety — and an intoxicating variety of stores and vendors. “Go your own way” is the only direction in LITTLE FIVE POINTS, and that retro vibe shows up in a swirl of ways. L5P’s decades-long history reflects a consistent independent streak — one that’s now evident in the hottie wear of Cherry Bomb, the glam kitsch of Junkman’s Daughter, and the vintage digs at Psycho Sisters, Stefan’s, Rag-O-Rama and Tease. It’s a jumble of rebellious heart, “be yourself” attitude and sometimes freakish packaging that accepts both gawkers and neighborhood regulars. What could be more classic?

It’s part of every guidebook to Atlanta. It’s heralded as the premiere shopping destination of the South. Gucci, Jimmy Choo and Versace all reside here. Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom are nothing to balk at, either. And let us not forget Jeffrey Kalinsky, who in 1994 introduced Atlanta to high-end fashion by opening Jeffrey alongside his already successful shoe boutique Bob Ellis (now part of Jeffrey). Walking through PHIPPS PLAZA, one can imagine what life must be like for the rich and fabulous. With the addition of such boutiques as New York staple Barney’s Co-op, trendy chain Intermix and classic line Theory, we paupers are still breaking the bank — and perhaps considering a second mortgage.

PEARSON’S WINE OF ATLANTA has a very wide variety of some very inexpensive bottles, from $10 to $15, and New Zealand and Oregon offer some great values. In particular from New Zealand, the Oyster Bay winery. They make a sauvignon blanc ($14.99, Pearson’s, 3072 Early St.) and a chardonnay ($14.99, Whole Foods) that are really nice, lively, especially the sauvignon blanc. It’s got a lot of great fresh citrus fruits, citrus peel, spices, a lot of mineral notes. They’re great on their own or with food. As far as Oregon, there are a large number of new vineyards being planted there, which I think offers a great opportunity for people to try their wines. One that sticks out is King Estate. They produce a pinot noir ($25.99, Pearson’s). A pinot noir from Oregon is just spectacular, almost Burgundian in style, with the fruit still being there, but with more of a focus on the earthy components the mushroom, the wet soil kind of mulchiness. Price really does not have any factor in quality. It’s mostly about what you really enjoy. ” As told to Taylor Barnes”

“CLOTHING WAREHOUSE in Little Five is always a good bet. They got some pretty sweet pearl snaps, Western-type shirts. You can always find some good T-shirts, vintage stuff. I’ve got this San Francisco 49ers back-to-back World Championship T-shirt that I found at Clothing Warehouse a long time ago, and that’s probably my favorite. Every once in a while I’ll go up to Lenox, if I have to get something at URBAN OUTFITTERS. There’s also a GOODWILL right outside Tech, where sometimes you can find some decent stuff. But I can usually find what I need at Little Five. I do have a favorite outfit I wear for shows. It’s this one old Western shirt that I found at Clothing Warehouse that I actually found on a mannequin, and just whatever jeans I happen to be wearing at the time. I actually got a really good belt from TARGET the other day. And I have a thing I wear on my wrist that is from the HOME DEPOT. It’s a fan pull-chain, one of those beaded whatevers. ” As told to Taylor Barnes”
