EVERY WOMAN'S CRAZY ABOUT… Just call her The Eye. Brittney Rothweiler possesses an uncanny ability to spot chic goods season after season. The Longmeadow native fine-tuned her stylish vision at fashion houses including Catherine Malandrino and Miss Sixty. "I was instantly addicted to the fast pace of the industry, extremely interesting people, and the ever-changing culture from trend to trend," she says. Now a buyer for The Tannery, she dedicates herself to outfitting Bostonians with world-class panache. Her goal in gift-giving to guys? "Elevate your 132 companion's style. Who doesn't want to be seen with a well-dressed man?" She favors high-end, classic but modern accoutrements because they work for almost everyone: a slick briefcase, a silk tie, or Brittney's personal favorite—a pair of classic Ray-Ban shades intensified by electric colored lenses. "They're perfect for lounging in Saint-Tropez," she says—or sprinting to feed a Newbury Street meter. Bleecker slim brief, Coach ($548). Copley Place, 617-262-0419; coach .com.
