My favorite local boutiques are where you can find the perfect outfit and accessory.
I have been so fortunate to grow up in a town like Long Beach New York. Where there is a plethora of fun and unique shops. Through being a customer of these stores I have learned the importance of supporting small businesses and these owners have inspired my goal to one day open a clothing boutique. I have realized how vital these businesses are for my community and how much good they do, whether that is donating to local fundraisers or raising their own donations. Some of my favorites are:
1. Long Beach Surf Shop: Long Beach isn't Long Beach without this local gem. It is where I purchased my first surfboard and the perfect suit to go along with it. It is a family-owned business and they have been serving the community for thirty-two years. I always stop in here for a new swimsuit each Summer, as they always have the best to choose from. They sell brands like Billabong, Roxy, Quicksilver, Ripcurl, and more!
2. The Codfish Cowboy: The Codfish Cowboy is a local boutique perfect to buy a gift for anyone. They feature different local artists, adding a very special touch and supporting many small artists. But they offer some beautiful and unique jewelry which always keeps me coming back. However, my favorite part of the store is its wall of greeting cards!
3. Cover Girl: Whenever I am home on breaks I make sure to stop in at Cover Girl! Cover girl has some of my favorite comfy sets from Z Supply. I just purchases the perfect yellow set that can be used for beach days or can be dressed up.
