FASHION SURPRISES IN EVERY CITY!

So I think I found my fashion heaven in Naples, FL. Marissa Collections is THE place to go for pristine designer shopping in southwest Florida. This store is absolutely beautiful! There are several rooms dedicated to one designer. Think Michael Kors (with a signed poster of the designer on the wall) and another room for Oscar de La Renta. And the designer choices are supreme. But the real superstar of this boutique is the handbag selection. There were numerous bags to choose from but I absolutely loved this beauty from Alexander McQueen.

If you're not familiar with shopping at the local boutiques in your city, stop in and give them a look. They typically have fantastic pieces from various designer collections. And they also host special events like workshops and trunk shows. And while the prices tend to trend on the higher side (this AM beauty sits just below a couple of grand), boutiques have phenomenal sales. (I've snagged a couple of 70% off finds over the years.)

In addition to Marissa Collections, some of my favorite boutiques are Intoto in Minneapolis, MN, where I purchased my first pair of Sigerson Morrisons and Tender in Birmingham, MI. I can honestly say that the money I spent in those stores yielded some incredible deals and styles that I've never seen on anyone else. Oh and years later, with proper care and feeding of course, my purchases still work in my wardrobe. And that's a fashionable investment.

What fashion surprises have you found in your city?

You should do a nationwide designer boutique check-in:-) Also don't forget that FLA is the home to some AMAZING designer outlet stores...mostly in the Boca Raton and Orlando areas to my knowledge though I wouldn't doubt Miami also just because of the amount of stores that need to liquidate seasonal items...
