I even picked a scarf for my mother in law and Gary gift-wrapped it for us. Super sweet!!! All pieces are hand-picked by his daughter and she's got great taste.

What a wonderful little concept, and shop!…read more There are multiple stores operating within the same space, which I imagine saves the biz owners on rent and utilities and labor, and offers customers (that's us) a more of a selection on adorable wares to purchase. Win/win. We happened to wander in on Small Biz Saturday, and were able to cover a lot of our holiday shopping for our children (the substantial discount for the day helped was much appreciated, even though the prices were very reasonable for a boutique like this), and pick up a couple things for ourselves as well. Everything is well-curated, and the selection of the kids' stuff in particular is perfect for my daughters, who are probably not alone in their deep devotion to all things pink and sparkly and rainbow and unicorn. We snagged dresses, and pajamas, and backpacks, and hats. Seriously, it's as if the buyer was thinking of us in all her purchases. I also love supporting a great family biz, especially one with the great vibes the owners are giving off. Shout out to Gary, who just seemed like a great dad and grandfather, helping out his daughter with the place. I'm sure she needs it, as I think she's got four kids. We'll be back whenever we're wandering around Saugerties, although I'll have to be careful about bringing my girls in, because they're going to want everything in here.

De Anna's seems to foster a love/hate reaction. Most of the reviews that have been previously…read morewritten are based upon the bridal services provided by the business. So far, only one other review has addressed the rest of the business which includes women's clothing, jewelry, candy, soaps and other personal care products, greeting cards, knickknacks, and holiday gifts. There is a sign on the back of the building where the main entrance is located, directing bridal service customers in one direction and all others to a different entrance. We were in search of holiday gift ideas and purchases so we avoided the bridal entrance - you probably need an appointment to shop there in any event. As already noted, there are a lot of things for sale in the main store, and that may be a problem. While the clothing, almost exclusively for women ( I saw a sign saying they have men's hats and scarves) appears to be well organized by color, there is so much of it packed into racks and on shelves that it actually is a chore to browse. If you are looking for products made in the U.S.A. or Canada, there are options available. Staff were friendly and helpful in our search for personal care products. They offered to gift bag our purchase and removed all price stickers. However, when we requested who made their chocolate candy, the only response was that it came from a variety of places. As one other reviewer pointed out, an important feature that is lacking in the store is a restroom for customers. You may have to drive a mile or so to find one (Hannaford? Shop Rite?). Also note that they do not take the American Express card.

Exchange, not return, not money back, just exchange. Went to return and was told 1/20/23 was cutoff for returns/exchanges. I was there a week later. I pleaded with the owner, Dianne, to make an exception, but she stated she already did reorders based on 1/20/23 inventory, so she won't help me. My sister has shopped there often over decades. She won't anymore. I guess not allowing 1 exchange is worth losing a lot of future business

What can I say, I like to be fancy sometimes, and this Capital Region boutique always has exactly…read morewhat I'm looking for, even before I know what it is I'm looking for, ya know what I mean? This shop offers an entirely different shopping experience than we're used to in the Capital Region. Instead of rummaging through the racks at the big box or off-price stores, shopping at Fancy Schmancy is like the Cadillac of shopping experiences: pretty much one-stop shopping for all your fancy outfit needs, with attentive and sweet sales associates helping you find what you're looking for, minus the crowds and the parking and the other headaches that come with shopping at places like the mall. Fancy Schmancy is popular on the high school prom circuit (and rightfully so!); however, this shop is so much more than prom dresses and ball gowns - it's one of my favorite places to shop when I'm looking for something a little fancier than usual, so if/when you need something for a special occasion, you should definitely give this place a try! From black tie weddings to causal holiday parties, and I've always felt like a million bucks while wearing anything I've ever purchased from this shop, like the perfect cocktail dresses for my sister's December rehearsal dinner and black tie wedding in July, or a long tweed vest with a faux fur trimmed collar and pockets outlined with a uniform row of pearls and silver beads for a casual holiday party, I've found the perfect threads to wear for any occasion. And it's not just the clothes, either. Fancy Schmancy has a beautiful display and selection of jewelry/costume jewelry to accessorize with, not to mention trendy hair pieces, like top knot and Renaissance style headbands, sparkly bobby pins, and the latest craze: jumbo flip clips. I actually picked up a pair of jumbo flip clips adorned in pearls to wear to the holiday party with the faux fur vest (I was getting a blow out so why not be extra fancy, right?) and what started an impulse buy at the register turned into my new favorite hair accessory! They have a really fun social media feed (@fancyschmancycouture) and true story: one time last summer I raced over there after I saw a really cool newspaper print jumper in their Instagram Stories, because it was the perfect outfit to wear to an event I had that weekend. So if anyone doubts the power of social media, I'm a good case study. They have a good price point overall - some things can be a little on the higher end (the fancier cocktail dresses and pieces in that department), but their casual wear is pretty reasonable, and it's definitely boutique quality and selection over the mass produced stuff you see on the racks virtually everywhere else. Social media is a great way to keep up with their inventory and, more importantly, sales! In fact, right now until the end of the year (literally one more day) they're offering 40% off casual wear, so I'm tempted to pop in to see what last minute deals of 2019 I can snag! If you're still looking for a NYE outfit, I highly suggest you save yourself the headache and aggravation of rummaging through the racks at the mall and give this boutique a try - you might be surprised! I know I was.

The owner has impecable taste and won't try to up-sell you something that isn't flattering. She will take time to find you the perfect garment for your figure, and if she doesn't have it she will make it for you! She is able to accommodate any size. In addition to the custom pieces there is also ready to wear clothing available and occasionally vintage pieces (more selection at the Rhinebeck location). Most of the styles are timeless, can be dressed up or down, and worn in multiple seasons.
