Shoes by Prada and Gucci call out like sirens in upscale Phipps Plaza.

The Scene
This posh shoe boutique is connected to the equally hip Jeffrey and Jil Sander clothing stores in Atlanta's most sophisticated mall. Given the high-priced shoe selection, you'd expect Bob Ellis to be stuffy or uncomfortable. Instead, it's a fun atmosphere with a techno DJ and an approachable-to-outgoing staff.

The Goods
Shoes for men and women, and even some for kids, are of the highly fashionable type: Miu Miu, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik. Monochromatic groupings of clothing flow into the shoe boutique, where a Jil Sander dress can be matched with Jil Sander shoes. Presentations of handbags, sunglasses and belts push the credit card bill even higher.
