First off I must say the staff at Encore are very friendly and funny. If they had a reality show I…read morewould absolutely watch it. I heard about Encore through word of mouth in the community. It's located on the basement of St John's Episcopal Church (across the street from the Shaws). The have ample off street parking and the basement entrance does have stairs. The prices were all very reasonable and every piece they have available is in perfect condition and season appropriate. They accept cash (check and cards are also accepted for purchase over $20). I was able to purchase nearly $75 of clothing and accessories for $26 and the money goes right back to the sellers and the community. Please support this consignment shop and the team of women of who run and sell the items.

The vibe was very friendly, with great music playing and the staff were sociable and helpful. It's not easy opening a business during a pandemic, but I think this one has what it takes. This shop had lots of great vintage clothing and accessories. It is not overly stuffed with items and everything is arranged in an artistic and esthetically pleasing way. I will definitely be back when I am able to spend a little more time browsing and shopping! You can follow it on Instagram at maryjanesboutiqueri.

Alfred's is an East Bay icon for folks of discerning taste looking for unique pieces, and I am glad we stopped in on a recent trip across the bridge. This shop has everything- jewelry, housewares, bed frames, books, clothing, and an extensive selection of holiday-themed goods. We visited in November, and their Christmas selection is plentiful. If you are looking for some cool items to celebrate the festive season, Alfred's is a must visit. The staff was helpful in our many inquiries, and we appreciated their attention to detail and kindness. The pricing varies, however, the items are all very high quality and some items are rare, so you do pay for quality. I would encourage any antique enthusiast to add Alfred's to their list!

I saw Luca Boutique and a product they had that I was very interested in advertised a local listing…read moresite. So I emailed the owner before I made my one hour trip to Warren, RI for a stroller. I confirmed her hours and that she still had it the day before. I did leave out that I was driving an hour, didn't think that info was needed. I arrived to a beautifully decorated store, I have to say it's really nice inside and looks very upscale. I checked some of the clothing out and prices, everything was in pretty good condition but a little over priced for my taste on used clothing. I then approached the owner about the stroller I had emailed her about and she was like "Oh the Quinny, yeah, I was just about to give that back to the owner. It won't fold and I can't sell it like that". So you couldn't just shoot me an email and save me the trip; I mean seriously, that's the right thing to do. I guess that common courtesy never occurred to her. The stroller wouldn't fold, we didn't know if it was broken or she just didn't know how to fold it. The stroller itself was in really raggedy condition anyway. She did mention on more than one occasion that it had been there since January when she opened, wasn't selling, and that the owner just told her to sell it for whatever you can get for it. We offered her $75 less than what she was asking for a four year old beat up, stained up, stroller with a chipped up and banged up frame that wouldn't fold. She refused and said that she needed to talk to the owner fist. Either way, pending what the owner said, she said she would meet me half way into my trip to deliver it. This was before she found out I was an hour away. She did email me a day later and tell me the owner came in and folded it up no problem so it was all good. She never did offer to drive it thirty minutes one way like she originally said. I've since found one in much better condition for just about the same price. Luca boutique is over priced, even their uppababy stroller was over what the going used rate is. Maybe because the store looks fancy the owner believes it's ok to overprice used items. The owner doesn't know what she is doing and is clearly new in this business. I sadly don't recommend Luca boutique.

I have been eyeing striped pants awhile but this was the first pair that had the quality feel and smart styling that made them worth a trip into the dressing room. Thanks, Sabrina and Nava!

Everything here is beautifully curated, from the clothes to the random knick knacks strewn about the store. It is definitely a place that pays homage to the best parts of a bygone era. You can browse racks of blazers, ties, uniquely bright patterned linen shirts crafted in India (crafted in a material that designers no longer use, apparently), and feel as if you jumped in a time machine and landed in a well-dressed man's walk-in closet in the 1950s. I flipped through pages of someone's old travel journal, documenting their trip by sea to Europe. All in cursive, there was a page that struck out at me: "CAPTAIN'S AUTOGRAPH: E.C. Wiggle".
