"Always ahead of the pack, Lara Fieldbinder knows what hip ladies want to wear even before they do. She stocks her Smith Street boutique, Dear Fieldbinder, with an eclectic mix of established designers and daring up-and-comers, as well as cute pieces from her own DF label. And, unlike many other boutiques that carry mostly high-end labels, Dear Fieldbinder has plenty of affordable brands making shopping a relatively guilt-free experience. In other words, prepare to step into your dream closet." – Best Indie Boutique for Women - 2011, Village Voice

"Before landing in the retail world, Lara Fieldbinder attended art school and worked at the Guggenheim. It’s no surprise, then, that her tidy Smith Street shop feels a bit like a gallery, with white three-dimensional forms popping subtly off white walls, streamlined mid-century modern furniture, and vividly colorful prints of geometrics, florals, and plaids lining the racks. Her typical customer lives locally and might be a blogger, artist, or young mom (or all of the above), and is thrilled to not have to schlep into Manhattan for tailored, trend-driven pieces." – New York Magazine

"Dear Fieldbinder specializes in effortlessly chic, beautifully modern pieces like tailored Lauren Moffatt blouses and chunky Twinkle by Wenlan sweaters: the type of items that will quickly become favorites." – Lucky Magazine

"Lara Fieldbinder stocks her impeccably curated boutique with under-the-radar lines like Dagmar and Rodebjer. Her recently launched Fieldbinder label channels late 1970s secretary chic in silk print blouses and perfectly cut day dresses." – Time Out New York

"You will not find a more perfect women's boutique." – Zagat 2010
