What store opening (or reinvention) had you salivating with anticipation -- and lived up to the hype? Were you captivated by the print explosion at Robertson's newest addition, Zimmermann, or Downtown's white-walled mecca Brigade? Or did you feel more at home in Sawtelle's new palace of super-soft, cool neutrals, In Residence? If renovations of old favorites got you more excited, were you more thrilled by Mohawk General Store's big expansion and relocation, or Rebecca Minkoff's occupation of Confederacy? Do your duty and vote! From the top three vote-getters, we'll select a winner who'll be announced at a fancy gala in New York next week.
