    Cute shop on a November morning
    Catherine F.

    I love autumn. It's my favorite season. I love the angle of the sunlight, the changing colors, the crisp mornings and warm afternoons, the smell of woodsmoke and rain and leaf tannins... and I adore autumn fashions. (Yes, for those of you who know me, I don't actually indulge my love of clothes much. I don't have the funds. And I hate buying clothes when I'm fat. Both will change, someday, I hope.) All this fall, I've been seized by an absolutely terrible case of boot-envy. Beautiful, sleek leather boots everywhere I look, in smooth leather, soft suede, with buckles and buttons and fancy stitching, under jeans and skirts and over leggings... not having a pair of boots that fits me, currently, I've just stood and stared, my mouth watering with longing. His Goatness, recognizing that he was unlikely to escape hearing me wax poetic over other people's boots until the season changed, generously took me boot shopping one afternoon, while we were in Baltimore for a conference. Google Maps had the nearest shoe store to the conference in Fells Point -- a place called Poppy & Stella. Having found parking (not an easy feat in this area, which is a cobblestoned, historical district filled with charming shops and quaint restaurants), we headed in... and were greeted promptly by a helpful clerk who actually seemed interested in providing a customized shopping experience. Refreshing! I haven't found enough of that in Canada, and have missed it. I told her I was looking for a pair of black, tall, leather (not suede) boots, simple (without buckles & buttons & fur), no heels (I have wrecked my back to the extent that I've had to give away all of my high heels), and preferably feminine enough that they didn't make me look like a punk rocker (while I love punk rock, I can't really pull off the look in my 40s). In a women's size 11. Whew! Not demanding or anything... She came out with exactly the pair I wanted. They fit. Comfortably. And they were even affordable. Fastest shoe shopping excursion ever -- hurray! And she even recommended a lunch spot which turned out to be spectacular. P.S., the selection of boots available, even in this cute little shop, was seriously impressive. Highly recommended.

Clothing and jewelry are all up on the first floor, nothing too interesting here. They had some cute things, but nothing stood out to me. Jewelry is on the wall next to the cashier which is bogo half off. I was able to find some good stuff, bonus for having the huge mirror right there. Shoes are downstairs. They had many great deals on sandals, a lot were $5? The part where you'd have to be pretty dedicated is when you reach the sale area. I have to admit, they keep it pretty neat in the sense that the boxes aren't all open and thrown around, but the styles are just all mixed together so it's like a treasure hunt. You might find your size, but you'll realize it's not the style you were looking for and vice versa.

And yes, the prices are very dear. The service is good, if a bit obtrusive. I prefer to browse through clothes on my own first, without someone following me around and making suggestions. Yeah, I was looking at that jacket, and that shirt and those cords would go nicely with it, but you're being distracting and I'm not looking to be "styled". That being said, I now have a pair of Italian merino flannel trousers that fit like a glove and are phenomenally comfortable and sharp-looking. I would consider Gian Marco an option for investment woolens in classic cuts.

The answer: here. The clothes here are top-shelf. There is a tailor on call. The employees are also really helpful. Also, I once spilled coffee on my tie, had a big meeting and this was the only place in Mt Vernon where I could run out and buy another one (60 bills!). So why three stars and a half? Because the size selection here is lacking (though this may be because it is a small shop). And because the prices are just so high. If I could afford to drop 1,200 on a blazer, maybe I could appreciate it more. Until then (read: never), I will continue looking in the window and thinking I'd rather go to Italy than buy a pair of shoes that'd pay my way there.
