If your fashion radar hasn't led you to Tiffiny's Catwalk Boutique in Pleasant Ridge, check your transmitter.

It's boutique shopping without the often-steep boutique prices, put together by Tiffiny VanJohnson, a University of Cincinnati graduate in the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning.

"I don't think boutique prices have to be exorbitant," says the mother of two.

She's spiffed up an older home with leopard-print carpeting and turned each room - including kitchen and bathroom - into a display of casual and dressy clothes, shoes, jewelry, accessories and lingerie beyond what you'll find in New York and Chicago.

"I like things that are stylish but classically chic," she says. That translates into clothes that are fluid, sexy, fun and, best of all, not limited to small sizes. VanJohnson has searched out designer styles up to size 2X.

Lines include Nicole Miller and Cynthia Steffe, with accessories from all over the United States and Europe.

"I thought about being a personal shopper because I love to shop. Instead, I can create that kind of atmosphere in this store, helping people put things together," VanJohnson says.

Don't skip the second floor, "Tiffiny's Closet," with 25-50 percent savings.

Open 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. 6058 Montgomery Road (at Losantiville). Information: 396-6228.
