Guess who just discovered the joys of consignment shopping? Yep, we’re late to this party but we’re making up for it now! We’ve scoured the state and bring you our CT consignment + vintage crawl! Here are 7 very different boutiques to shop online now, and visit later!

There are two types of people in this world; those who get things framed, and those who don’t know where to start and therefore never get around to it. We were definitely the second type before we visited Wall Street Gallery in Madison.
Pictures, art, and anything near and dear to your heart…it can be framed!

We fell in love with K&H Leatherworks on where else, but Instagram and have been drooling over craftsman Tucker Gasho’s leather things for years.
This is the story of a purse that we will love for the rest of our days…

No, not us (tee-hee). The perfect pair of shoes is what we’re talking about today. Multiple perfect pairs of shoes, in fact. All can be found at, you guessed it, The Perfect Pair in Fairfield.

After last year’s costume success with our Hall & Oates number, we’ve decided we’re going bigger, better, and more this Halloween! It’s time to up our game and hit Happy Daze Costumes in Norwalk.

Lorraine K. Boutique in Monroe is one of the largest gift and boutique shops in Fairfield County and was previously voted “Best women’s accessories store in CT” by Connecticut Magazine. The question is, why haven’t we visited sooner?!

If you’re worth your salt in style in CT, you should know about these six boutiques in our state. Each store has their own unique approach to fashion, and all are run by the chicest women you ever did meet. Grab your favorite shopping partner and hit the road – all are well worth the visit!

Does the thought of switching cell phone plans make you break out into a cold sweat? Would you rather do your laundry, weed the garden, and unload the dishwasher, than try to figure out where to begin with swapping carriers? Same here!
Luckily for us, our friend and #1 Sprint customer Paul Marcarelli lives on the way to the Torrington Sprint store. So we stopped by to pick him up and bring him along to assist us with the whole process – with some careful planning, of course, as his filming schedule is pretty crazy with all of those commercials!
