Five little shops that are quaint, whimsical and somehow just right.
Patch Picks is a feature that runs each Thursday, highlighting editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off, and more.
This week's theme is boutiques and we're highlighting five unique shops. Do you know of another? Let us know in the comments.

- NORTHVILLE: This recommendation comes from a Northville Patch Facebook fan who says, "rock on main........ it rocks!!!!!" Known for its denim selection, this shop on Main Street carries designer jeans and more. And according to one review on Northville Patch, Sally Johnson said, "This is the only store my family goes to for jeans. The staff at Rock on Main know their products and are always willing to help you find the jeans that will look the best on you."

Lorla's sells clothing, shoes, purses, accessories and jewelry which are made by local, national and international artisans.
- CANTON: Customer Cheryl Galesewicz of Canton popped into this new shop looking for a Moms Prom dress, and stayed to model an $850 black mink jacket. This week, check out the dot saile and get 25, 25 or 50 percent off prices for gently used high-end threads, footwear, accessories and purses. (One of the consignees is a former Mrs. Michigan).

-PLYMOUTH: This downtown gem offers high-end clothing and accessories. It caters to a younger crowd. Brands include Splendid, Ella Moss, Effies Heart, Hearts and Crowns, Three Dots,Thinque Pinque, Petit Pois, Hanky Panky, Spanx, Red Engine Denim, Miss Me jeans, Made in Detroit, P.J. Salvage pajamas and more.
- PLYMOUTH: Another downtown staple, Bella Mia started out in Plymouth's Old Village in 2003. Influenced by her then-high-school-age daughter, owner Arlette Stobbe yearned to fill the high-fashion gap in Plymouth. Stobbe says the idea of Bella Mia is to lure customers out of their comfort zone a little. "You can have flair without sticking out in the crowd, but not melting into the woodwork, either," she said.
