We also purchased a pair of boxer (dog) socks from here for a gift (they have most breeds). I rarely purchase stuff from here but I enjoy walking around and visiting all of the stores while in the area.

My recommendation - check out this place in the offseason while they're still open. The shop itself is quite cozy, and beach apparel and accessories fill every nook and cranny. If the small parking lot looks full, be prepared for a cramped interior and long lines at the register. Service is efficient and helpful, which moves that register line along quickly. If you're visiting, this is a great spot to support local business, and score a 2022 Kemp's Ridley turtle watch shirt.

I replied that we were just looking, I was with my younger brother and my boyfriend while my parents were not in town. She asks us (again with a tone) "I think you should get your parents if you are in here", I told her that they weren't in town and she asked how old I was... I was taken back with the question because we just walked into the store and quietly were looking around. I answered and said I was 18 and she commented that "you don't look like it" after that I felt discouraged and left. I didn't even have time to look around. I was very dissatisfied and disappointed.

It's small, cramped, a bit musty. All the signs of a great hunt is about to begin. There are also nostalgia pieces for those looking to do a retro decorating scheme. The prices were kind of uneven. I used my spirit box there and picked up an EVP or two. A great 15 minutes.

For those of you not in the know, I'm talking about cute, flattering, expensive-looking clothes at a decidedly midrange price point: $50-$100, mostly in the lower half of that range. They're designed to appeal to those of us who sweat Anthropologie, Tory Burch, and J. Crew, but they're much more affordable. These brands use more synthetic fabrics than the more expensive ones their devotees also like. Even so, they're worlds cuter and classier than H&M or Forever 21. Until recently, this classy-midrange space had nothing in it whatsoever, and I'm so glad that these new companies have stepped up to the plate. Maritime Passage curates these brands beautifully -- it's the kind of shop where you want to try and buy everything. The sales staff pamper you but aren't overbearing. I wish there were more shops like this in the DC area, where I live -- aside from 3 Sisters in Alexandria, I know of none.
