Shopping, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Favorite Picks on Memorial Week-End, Nation’s Summer Capital, Tax Free Shopping, Southern Delaware, Accessories! They should enhance; Not overshadow!

It goes without saying that shopping at the Delaware Beaches is part of the ritual if you are visiting Southern Delaware.  Tax free shopping!!  Our casual lifestyle at the beaches is fun and carefree .  As I was walking in Rehoboboth Beach this week-end I had my picks.

I was thinking that adding spunk and pizzaz with accessories for ourselves or homes can either make or break the look.  The rule of thumb is not to overpower.  This rule is timeless.  Use accessories that will work with your wardrobe or your home decor.

Remember that it is called an accessory because you want it to enhance and not overshadow.

No outfit is complete without the proper accessory.

In Downtown Rehoboth Beach on the ocean block I found Tiger Lili.  This shop has clothing, jewelry, handbags, shoes, and accessories….Sorry guys, not for you.

These bags were calling Summer!!

And these were the cutest sandals.  And, since it is going to be in the 80s this week, they are the perfect sandal to wear out and about in town or wear them to dinner.

Nothing better than a good conversation piece or pieces when having guests for drinks or dinner.  There is a new store in town called The Spice & Tea Exchange, also located on the ocean block in Downtown Rehoboth Beach.  These items will get your guests talking.

The Himalayan Grater Stone is beautiful pink salt that is harvested by hand from ancient sea-beds located in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains.  All you have to do is put them on the table and grate the salt with a micro-planer.  It comes out very fine and you don’t need that much to get great taste.

The salt blocks and platters are also going to create great conversation.  These blocks and platters can be heated or cooled; put them in the oven or freezer.  They can be used for food preparation and table presentation.

Mod Cottage is located at 247 A Rehoboth Avenue.  This shop has great accessories for the home and plenty for gift giving, as well.

Jane & Georgie just inaugurated their new building…same spot on 419 Rehoboth Avenue.  This shop has plenty of indulgences, we, women love.  Tops, dresses, and the beach indispensables.

At 29819 Coastal Highway you will find Tulip.  It has everything you can imagine…furniture, lamps, art…but since I am concentrating on accessories, these finds were perfect.  The stone on this bracelet is Labradorite.  Other stones are available.

Plenty of more shops to visit in the Nation’s Summer Capital!!  Let the Summer of 2013 begin!

Jane & Georgie, Boutique, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Women’s Apparel, Jewelry, Scarves, Shoes, Delaware Beaches

The other day I got an email announcing the grand opening of a new boutique in Rehoboth Beach.  I love to hear of new places opening up.  The opening was yesterday, Friday; the busiest day of the Holiday Season.

Jane & Georgie is located at 419 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.  Website is www.janeandgeorgie.com. The owners?  Kate Chambers, 302-245-7182 and Lisa Thomson, 302-228-6775. They are sisters!!

And you are probably wondering what’s with the name.  Grandparents that’s who they were, which both sisters remember with great love and admiration.  They both had a unique sense of style.  Kate and Lisa decided to dedicate their new venture to them.

The shop is easy to find; right near the roundabout in Rehoboth Beach.

I did not know what I was going to find, but then I saw Kate.  This sister, I had met before.  She has been in the retail business now for quite some time.  I was so glad to see her and she told me that they had started thinking about doing something like this months ago; voila!, they are in business now.

It is really a store for women.  They are still getting merchandise in and they will be getting some apparel for children, as well.

At this time of the year the store opened up in a festive mood.  The tree and the lights complemented the dresses first seen as you approached the door.

Jewelry, clutches, accessories, very pretty dresses, blouses, shirts, scarves and just about anything we women enjoy to shop for.

Jane & Georgie will be carrying jeans; one of the brands is James Jeans.  That company is based in LA and supposedly they have created the perfect fitting jeans to hide ones flaws.  Music to my ears!!

The classic jelly ballet flat shoes with peep toe were from a company called Melissa Shoes.  The summer clutch was from Elaine Turner.

Clothing designers available are Elizabeth McKay, Soshana, Tibi, and Butter by Nadia.

The trendy triple leather bracelets were by Vita Fede and made in Italy.

Now that the cooler weather has arrived, the store also had plenty of scarves; some linen, some cashmere and some ruffled.

An important accessory for a woman is the jewelry she wears.  Jane & Georgie has plenty.  Lauren G. Adams has X Rings, which are stackables and offers plenty of color selections.  Her flower necklaces are also very popular.

Then there is Kenneth Jay Lane, which is a company based in N.Y.  He is kown for being elegant and innovative.

So I have offered you a peak into a new boutique in Rehoboth Beach.  You will love Kate and Lisa.  At the present time the shop opens every day. 

Please note that Jane & Georgie are on Facebook and Twitter.    Also, please check their website; very nice.

Have a great Holiday Shopping Season!!!  Talk to you later…
