Sun Valley, Idaho: Shopping Heaven

This ski town and the neighboring communities of Hailey and Ketchum are filled with fabulous, unusual shops. At Iconoclast Books (three locations; www.iconoclastbooks.com [3]), find more than 65,000 new and used titles, and at Vintage Gypsy (208-788-7070), sort through the carefully edited selection of antique china. Burnsie’s Boca (208-725-1833), housed in a cozy log cabin, is known for its comfy-yet-chic weekend and workout wear. Bargain hunters should dig through the secondhand goods at Gold Mine (208-726-3465); a customer recently struck it rich with a barely used Gucci handbag for $40.
