I wish that a fashion portal would open when I open my closet each morning. It'd be like Narnia,…read morewithout the lion or the witch... just the wardrobe. I'd just pop in to some awesome store, play dress up and then come back through my wardrobe like the Pevensie children. Anyway, Parc Boutique would definitely be one of my fashion portal stops. I follow the owner Thao on Twitter and Pinterest because she has amazing taste, so I should've known how much I'd like this store. It had been a while since my first visit to Parc (when I was young and broke), so my visit last week felt like the maiden voyage. There's a balance of affordability and higher-fashion style here, which I appreciate because that is a balance I try to find on a daily basis. There's a great selection of dresses, tops, jewelry, denim and more---all priced and curated well. The bauble table was where I had the most trouble saying goodbye. I saw the most interesting geometric pendant priced at about $75 (as usual, my eye wanders to one of the most expensive things on the table). Though I couldn't bring myself to drop the cash, I was compelled to put it on my Christmas list eight months in advance.

All of the brands they carry are women owned businesses and either local or from around the country. The staff is beyond friendly is they're always happy to help with any questions you may have. As well as clothing, they also carry the cutest natural skin care lines, especially Herbivore Botanicals. If you're in Minneapolis and have a shopping day, I highly recommend you stop in to their shop.

This boutique is so darling, and with a great mission!…read more MISSION: 5 stars for the mission. They offer internships, business experience, and more for the East African women in this non-profit's youth program. LOCATION: They're near U of M West Bank on the corner, and they have parking in the back behind the building. SPACE: It's a smaller space, but unlike other consignment shops it makes visiting digestible! It's one main room and then a bargain rack in the hall. VARIETY: I will say it's more skewed to smaller sized with not a ton of L and XL offerings, and perhaps a skew to basics and a younger crowd, but definitely still worth a look through! PRICES: Everything is under $12 - in the entire place! You can find many things for under $5 even. A great bargain, and you know your money is going to a great cause.

We weren't looking for anything in particular, just passing through, but it was a blast to see what they had. Everything felt well maintained and curated, and easy to shop through without being cluttered. There is a try-on area and a three-sided mirror, with someone trying on a beret - just peak vintage shop vibes. The staff members were all dressed to the NINES - they are their own advertisements for what expertise they offer. Don't expect thrifting prices here - this is a higher end, curated vintage shop and prices reflect that. If you're a lover of all things vintage, you've gotta come check this out!
