The owner will bristle if you say "thrift store," and rightfully so. From the Gold Coast address to the couture designer labels that crowd the racks, The Daisy Shop is far from low-rent. All the big names are here, including Chanel, Versace, Gucci, St. John and Judith Leiber. So if you yearn for first Armani suit or Louis Vuitton handbag, Daisy is a must-shop. Just bear in mind: This isn't Salvation Army, and the prices are adjusted accordingly. You may blow $600 for that Chanel skirt, but just imagine what it would have cost if you bought retail.
