The lowdown: Vixon, which means ''sexy beast'' according to UrbanDictionary.com, is the new sister store to Danny Sanchez and Roger Israel's cheap and chic boutiques, Kore and Addict.

The 'hood: Right off Biscayne Boulevard near Johnson & Wales University, the North Miami shop is tucked away inside the tiny 124 Biscayne Plaza. If you blink you'll miss it -- only a black-and-white banner announces its existence. Parking is available in the plaza's lot.

The vibe: Colorful and fun with gray and avocado green walls set against bright yellow shelves, Vixon personifies urban-chic décor. An antique leather chaise lounge chair adds glamour while black curtains filled with spunky swirling images of birds and flowers adds to the vivacious atmosphere. Think young but sophisticated.

Highlights: Everything in the store is under $110. On the racks are long and short frocks, tunics and tops, yoga pants, jeans, rompers and jumpsuits. Vixon manager Katya Tsvetkova says brands like Lush, Ya, Ark+Co, Mai Tai, Rubber Ducky and Tea are best-sellers. ''We're also famous for our skinny jeans,'' she adds. ``They fit just like leggings.''

The owner says: ''Vixon is a new addition to our family. This location has an interesting twist with trendy, inexpensive merchandise,'' says Sanchez.

Customers say: ''You don't have to break your piggy bank to stay trendy here. This boutique comes equipped with everything you need to look sexy, stylish or chic,'' says customer Marielena Cruz.

Vixon, 12404 Biscayne Blvd., North Miami; 305-895-0041. Hours: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
