I totally agree with Niki that Frances Jaye is like an even more unique Madewell. The vibe is super…read morecool but not so cool that I felt uncomfortable there. I didn't really browse the clothing but I could tell that the things I saw looked well-made and fashionable. A quick check of the Frances Jaye website let me know that they appreciate and support sustainable and ethical brands, which is always awesome to see. The prices may be higher than your average mall, but you get what you pay for. They have men's and women's clothing, accessories, home goods, cards, books, and gift items. I particularly loved the Holland shirts that were modern and stylized. I ended up buying a fancy wick trimmer as we seem to have a surplus of candles these days, as well as two cute holiday cards featuring cat illustrations, because #crazycatlady I loved this little shop and will absolutely stop in every time I'm in the area!

This store is my dream closet…read more It's essentially an even-more-unique Madewell, with carefully curated items. Everything is a bit pricey, but it's clearly well-made and styled. They have amazing jewelry, clothes, and accessories here. I got a really cute star choker that I wear constantly.

This place was better than the typical cheapo tourist store of printed shirts with local sayings…read more It seemed much more curated for individuality instead of mass-produced (even if it is, which I'm not sure of). They had a great assortment of hats (one of which I got), and the prices, while somewhat higher than those tourist trap shops, were not outrageous at all, and the items seems of good quality. They had a front desk guy also complimented me super cool red, white, and blue New Balance shoes, so I felt cool... so there. Shut up and buy something neat.

Unfortunately, due to the distance from my home, I'm only able to visit twice a year, early spring and late summer/early fall to shop, shop, shop for my spring/summer and fall/winter wardrobe. Needless to say, I always load up. I've never been disappointed and receive mega compliments on my one-of-a-kind, or as I like to call them my "look at me" purchases that owner Jill VanWieren styles for me. Just love Images of Saugatuck.

Instead of just having a "man chair" for husbands and boyfriends waiting while their partners try on clothing, R & P has a full oasis out back with a beautiful garden and a lovely little pond. It's a nice compromise since I spend a ton of time checking out every little nook and cranny of both floors of these partnered stores. They've remodeled a bit so be sure to check out the changes upstairs (they had an awesome selection of clearance clothing up there for 50% off on my most recent visit). Sure wish that pink Ryu jacket with the petals on the lapel had been my size! Such a great place for gifts of all kinds from books to jewelry, cards and stationery to pampering bath items. Love love love R & P!

The Poppy Peach is a really cute little boutique store with many handmade crafts and accessories…read more This shop does seem geared towards women as all their clothing and accessories are for women. This little shop carries cute women's clothing like lounge pants, maxi dresses, and others. I loved some of the dresses I came across. They were pretty uniquely designed. Their sizes range from xs to xl, I believe. They also had some quirky and cute gadgets (as you can see from my pictures) that would make really good gifts. They also had some sassy cards you can give to friends. They also had little cute mugs of different shapes and sizes. If you're walking on 8th street and want to take a look at some cute and interesting stuff, this place is worth a visit!
