The…read morebright and airy space is populated with a well-edited collection of separates geared toward the stylish woman looking for an extra bit of flair in her wardrobe. I love the focus on Made in America clothing, jewelry, and accessories. They have recently added shoes. Owner Wendy and Manager Mel make you feel so at home - you don't feel like you are shopping, you feel like you are visiting with friends. As they get to know your style, they will pull items they think you might like and give honest, thoughtful opinions on how the pieces work with your size and shape. They offer alterations at very affordable prices and will also ship items to you on request. They also have frequent events (trunk shows, visits by designers). They frequently post on social media (Instagram, Facebook) so that you can see all of their new arrivals. Definitely one of the best women's boutiques in the DMV.

I was told that I would have to pay an additional 4.95 to ship the correct size even though that's what I originally order. The manager Murano told me there was NOTHING she could do. So now 4.95 for an order they shipped incorrectly and another 4.95 for the correct size (hopefully) and the price of gas. Beyond irritating. DO a better job ZARA.

I can't believe I forgot to review THE COTTAGE?! I was cruising through my reviews from our trip to…read moreAnnapolis mid summer. Annapolis has got a ton of little clothing shops and odds and ends but THE COTTAGE's selection was top notch. They had bracelets, bags, decor, clothes...you name it. I'm from the south and live in Ohio now, but this shop was reminiscent of the shops in the south. Classy and prices reasonable for the quality they carry, plus the staff were so hospitable. Hopefully I'll be stopping in on a regular basis if I get a Mid class 2031.

Bottom Line: A lovely collection of accessories, décor, clothing and gifts…read more The Cottage, a long time staple in Severna Park, has opened a new location in downtown Annapolis in the spot previously occupied by Kokopelli. To differentiate between the two locations they are calling the downtown Annapolis store The Cottage on Main and the Severna Park store The Cottage in The Park. The inventory between the two stores seems very similar. I can almost always find something to buy at this great local, small business. Here are some of my most recent finds: - Avanti greeting cards often featuring funny animals. They are the best! - Keva leather jewelry. It's light and so comfortable to wear. - Farmhouse Fresh lotions and soaps. Great quality and not overbearing scents. - Hobo purses and wallets. Awesome colors, practical designs and yummy leather. - A variety of thoughtful and sweet baby gifts. Lots of pretty prints. - Boho bandeaus. I really like these for working out in the yard. - Rifle Paper Co. stemless drinking glasses. Seems great for anything. - Although not personally a favorite of mine, popular brands like Vera Bradley, Kendra Scott and Swig. Since this location is in downtown Annapolis parking is a consideratoin. On an early weekday morning you might be able to grab a metered spot our front. The Noah Hillman Parking Garage is nearby too. Or you can always drive 15 minutes to the Severna Park location where parking is plentiful. Overall, The Cottage on Main is a great addition to downtown Annapolis.

Welcome to my fashion obsession. My little fashion secret is out. I found this cute boutique when I…read morewas walking in La Jolla. It looked like a small upscale boutique where a pair of jeans was likely to be $400. Oh no, this place was affordable on my student budget. This became my go to place for sundresses (usually in the $35-$40 range), funky tops, and accessories. They have accessories as far as the eye can see. I even introduced my east coast friends to the store when they visited. Then I moved away, and had to order on line. I kept each item of clothing for years knowing I would never find anything like it again. I had one wrap dress that rivaled anything made by Diane Von Furstenberg. When I moved east, and when coworkers would ask me where I got my clothes and I would direct them to the website. I had them hooked, pretty soon they had their entire families ordering. And then there came a day when three of us had on the same dress from here. That was my doing. Then much to my luck the store added stores on the east coast. I recently went to store in Annapolis and it was like old times. The staff was friendly and I had to put myself on a budget to avoid buying the store. And now the news got out that there is a store coming soon to Bethesda Row! See good things do come to those that wait.

Our girls love this store. I had no idea that it was for younger people. Walking by it had always…read moreseemed like they catered to the older woman, 50s and up. Not sure if they changed their age range or what but it's definitely a tasteful store for young girls and teens, which is refreshing considering the other stores for their age group nowadays. I didn't see any "sexy" choices or anything related to sex which I loved. I'll be back for this reason alone. The store was very clean and organized. Great choices. Reasonable prices, but the sale they had today made it fantastic. The customer service leaves a lot to be desired though. You can tell the young ladies that work here fit the age group that they're marketing. A little too relaxed, no "hello," no "do you need help with anything". While I was waiting in line for my first purchase, I eventually realized there wasn't a line, just a bunch of young girls standing at the register talking. Finally after a few minutes I realized they weren't buying anything so I made my way to the counter, the cashiers were just standing there talking, no apologies for leaving me standing there waiting for almost 5 minutes for nothing. I made two purchases (I found something else on my way out the door) and during the second one (different cashier) asked me for my phone number. Apparently they have some type of rewards program (but then again I don't know because she seemed confused as well but agreed to all of my questions ‍). When my info came up (I'm guessing one of our daughters signed me up) my info was wrong. Instead of changing it when I brought it to the cashier's attention, the young lady next to her, who was the first cashier for my previous transaction that didn't even ask me for my number said skip past it, the young lady said okay and then gave me my total. I guess this is why I've never received any emails for them, it's someone else's address. I digress. I saw something else on my way out but decided the poor service wasn't worth me making another purchase, maybe some other time. Overall, the store is cute, I'd shop in here for my girls occasionally. But moms, beware, you might get a little agitated. It kind of reminded me of when I have to repeat myself to my children, which I don't like to do. When I'm shopping I don't want to be reminded of my kids irresponsibilities. The girls in this store are definitely a little irresponsible when it comes to good customer service. If they tighten up, they'll get the extra 2 stars.

The store is small but has a bounty of clothing given varying taste. I stumbled upon a lovely pair of printed flowy black & white pants which were a must have. Also, grabbed a pair of sweaters and tops to add to my wardrobe. Many of the items are trendy but you can find a few staple items. This is a boutique so the prices tend to be a bit pricey. Somethings are worth the added value yet some of the designer items don't seem to be the best quality. I suggest this place for those who like trendy pieces and if you like pieces you can mix and match.

Main Street in downtown Annapolis is undeniably quaint as a whole but the striking storefront of Lilac Bijoux always catches my eye.

Lilac Bijoux is a boutique for women offering flowy, pretty clothes and accessories. What I appreciate about this store and that they sell jewelry from local designers.

I used to be more excited about this store so that tells me that I'm probably aging out of their target market or just too conservative. Nevertheless, they have nice brands here and the store displays are attractive. I did recently get a pretty blouse here that I can wear to my office job but most of the fashions were more trendy (cold shoulder blouses that taken me back to the late 80s/early 90s - no thanks) or high Maintenace (off the shoulder shirts that require a strapless bra). The staff here was really nice despite it being a few days before Christmas and it seemingly like they were totally exhausted. I think I would visit SMU if parking was easier and it was more central to other stores I like to visit like Anthropologie and Smyth.
