Every year feels like the year I'll start skiing again despite last skiing in childhood. Instead I…read morejust go to après ski events. I always complained that there's really nowhere hyper local to get ski attire whether for actual skiing or after ski. I found just the place during Lakewood Chocolate Walk - Geiger's! AMBIANCE: Standalone store in downtown Lakewood that's apparently been part of the community since 1932 (wow!) For being such a longstanding retail space it's surprisingly modern. It really reminds me of Eddie Bauer's. The store has multiple rooms of outdoor attire. MERCHANDISE: Most of the attire (predominantly women's and children's) looks like chic athletic-ish attire to wear around Lakewood. Faux fur vests are especially soft and high quality. There is an entire room of skiing gear - skis, ski goggles, and sweaters with ski landscapes. There's also a pretty expansive selection of children's attire. You'll find popular brands like Patagonia and Yeti, and also less known brands. Prices are mostly what you'd expect at a high-end department store. SERVICE: The service at the store wasn't too attentive. Employees were a bit awkward with client interactions. Perhaps because it was busy. Check out this store if you are looking for winter attire like coats, chunky sweaters, gloves, and hats. There are plenty of choices here. I'll come back when I have more time to browse the coat inventory.

The owner was kind and we talked about a couple other places that she has tried. Overall, it is a cool, local boutique.

Flower Child is a thrift store in Lakewood. The store is currently having a closing sale (70% off…read moreeverything). They will be opening in a new space in November 2025. In its current state, Flower Child is walking into a retro basement that has decades of treasure! LAYOUT/INVENTORY: The store has two levels with multiple rooms of treasure. Both levels have similar merchandise - home goods, kitchen tools, some furniture, abundance of accessories, clothing, vinyls, and some interesting international decor. Just when you think you ran out of rooms, there are more rooms of treasure to browse. I especially loved the basement. Every room is a treasure hunt! If you wear petite sizes, this is a treasure trove of vintage clothing. You'll find tees, dresses, sweaters, and pants. The clothing is casual and functional. Check out all the clothing rooms on the main level and basement. VALUE: The discounts on merchandise of 70% is a great value. However, the initial prices are quite high considering the quality. Some of the clothing and items are very well loved. I don't see myself paying full prices for the items to be extremely honest. SERVICE: The staff was very nice to customers during checkout. There was a lot of excitement about the upcoming store move. They staff was always very busy. Personally, I wanted to ask about the pricing for a folk pin I was eyeing. There was no one to ask so I eventually gave up. I'm sure the service is more attentive during the regular days. PARKING: I was surprised to find a pretty large parking lot at the back of the building considering the location is in Lakewood. Amazing if you're carrying home a lot of treasure. I would recommend Flower Child to guests who enjoy digging for treasure. You definitely need maybe an hour to focus on each room without getting overwhelmed. I look forward to checking out the layout of a new store!

Belle Soiree is an incredible boutique! Located in Rocky River, I cannot believe I did not know…read moreabout them sooner. I am so glad my friend and I stumbled upon this absolutely lovely boutique which has turned me into a loyal follower. My style is very specific. I like bold colors, body inclusive styles, American made, and unique pieces. Its like Belle Soiree was curated especially for me by a local business owner with flawless taste. The owner, Kim, is phenomenal. While my friend grabbed a few tunics for me to try on, Kim knew my style immediately and made excellent suggestions to try on. I even ended up buying one! It has quickly become my favorite tunic and I tell everyone about Belle Soiree. The boutique is impeccably curated, filled with gorgeous treasures and is the perfect place to put together a classy outfit for any occasion. There are many boutiques in the shopping area Belle Soiree is in, but this one stands out above the rest. It carries real people sizes, timeless styles and quality American designers. A cut above the rest!

The August Thrifts is a small thrift store located inside the HUGE Screw Factory in Lakewood. They…read moredo have a nice selection of items in stock. I'm unsure if some items are used (second-hand) based on the condition of some of the clothes but you can always ask the owner. I visited in June 2025 for a friend's going away party before she moved back to Michigan. This was a private event but we still got the same service as a regular customers would. I had a lot of fun. CLOTHING -- There are a ton of dresses, pants, tops, skirts, and shorts to buy. I bought a bright yellow top in June 2025 when I visited for the first time. I believe it was less than $20. The top is perfect for summer and I definitely wore it a lot in the summer of '25. It has some orange, light green (or teal), and blue colours on it too with flower patterns. I will definitely be wearing a lot in summer 2026. I also bought a leopard print Michael Kors summer dress that falls just above my knee. It has gold straps and it cost about $25 or $30. This was a great designer find and I love the dress. They also sell shoes, bags, handbags, and accessories. The owner is always getting new inventory so if you don't find something then she may have it in store soon. Give the August Thrifts a visit for your thrift shopping needs. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 49/250 total reviews in 2026 - 890 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 24 April 2026
