Belle Gray
Lisa Rinna is one busy woman. In addition to her TV work, she owns not one but two boutiques in the L.A. area (in Sherman Oaks and Calabasas). Her Belle Gray stores reflect her laid back but stylish California look, stocking Juicy Couture, Citizens of Humanity and Glamajama. Rinna has also created her own Belle Gray label of comfy track suits and cute printed tank tops. (We’re waiting for Rinna to come up with something featuring her husband Harry Hamlin and “Clash of the Titans” movie, which we secretly love). Belle Gray also gets the prize for the best Web site, as it offers online shopping and handy search tips like “As seen on...” and “Lisa’s picks of the week.”

Butik
Not content with being only a supermodel, Helena Christensen has also turned her hand to photography and fashion, with the opening of Butik. The shop is co-owned with her friend and flower artist, Leif Sigersen, and the shop is a happy jumble of goods picked up all over the world, from clothing to candles, antiques, flowers and chocolates.

Abbie & Jesse’s
Supermodel Niki Taylor named her Nashville area boutique after her two dogs, Abbie and Jesse. The shop looks simple from the outside — it’s housed in a brick building that could have been a Pizzeria Uno in the not so distant past — but inside there are plenty of savvy design finds. Taylor stocks L.A. brands like True Religion and C&C California, as well as Da-Nang, Joe’s Jeans, Pete, J & Co. and Antik Denim.

Twenty8Twelve
Although plenty of young celebs have their own clothing lines (Mandy Moore, the Olsens, Hillary Duff), very few ever open their own stores. That’s not the case with the Miller sisters.
Sienna and Savannah opened their Notting Hill boutique
earlier this year, which is ideal for people who can’t — or don’t want to — schlep over to Harvey Nichols or Matches.

Blue Tree
Actress Phoebe Cates opened Blue Tree on the site of the former Penny Whistle store. Blue Tree is a combination gift store and well-edited boutique. There’s clothing for men, women and children as well as stylish accessories. Cates and her team don’t stock the usual suspects; their brands include Jamin Puech Paris, Heike Jarick and Jarbo.

The Little Seed
Remember Punky Brewster? Well, actress Soleil Moon Frye is all grown up (with kids of her own) and recently opened The Little Seed for fashionable moms. Her shop stocks funky baby linens and accessories, and many of them are eco-friendly, such as the non-toxic crayons and paints. We think Punky would approve.
