I remember it well. It was last Sunday when the temperatures were in the 50s. Historic Lewes is pretty year round. But, on that day it was just amazing. People were outside, enjoying what visitors come here for; blue skies, the quaint towns, our beaches, our shops and our restaurants.
I decided to visit Josh. He is the owner of Shorebreak, located at 115 Savannah Rd., Lewes, Delaware. Tel. 302-6450-8488. Website? http://www.shopshorebreak.com. I visited him when he first started the store and now, after a couple of years in business, he has found success in his hometown. Yes, he is a local guy!!
There are not that many men shops in our area, so it is great to showcase the ones that offer that casual type of clothing that go hand in hand with our relaxed way of living at the beach.
Shorebreak opens Thursday through Monday; 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. During the summer season, they are open every day.
You will find lots of easy comfortable fabrics, clothes with a light and relaxed feel.
At the present time, you will also find a few sales going on. Is that time of the year.
Some of the brands that you will find at Shorebreak are Southern Tide (polos and sportshirts), Kuhala (Hawaiian type shirts), Matix, Cutter & Buck, Costa del Mar (sunglasses), Sanuk & Reef (footwear) and Woolrich.
Shorebreak carries a line of apparel by another local guy, Corey Schab. It is call L Town, which is short for the town of Lewes, DE. Their products are eco friendly. The line “symbolizes the relaxed and “chill” life of growing up in a small coastal community”.
Not only does the shop offer clothing but they do also have gifts.
Shorebreak has online shopping, and free shipping for orders of $100 or more. Just visit http://www.shopshorebreak.com
Stop by….Josh will be more than happy to meet you. He really is very friendly!!
Have a good one!!

Fragrances, colognes, perfumes…they are an “essential element to any wardrobe”. But, as I write this post I know that some women and men don’t wear colognes, at all, for a variety of reasons, including job related reasons. I have a friend that doesn’t wear perfume because “I am allergic to bees”. Okay… Next, another friend just only wears perfume once in a blue moon. Then, I have the ones that stick just to one cologne and that’s it; a signature.
This past Monday, remember, when it was pouring and lightning and water spouts going through Dewey?…..well, Susan and I were inside a perfume shop that I had heard about the year before. We did not have a care in the world and proceeded to make ourselves at home.
Penny Lame Perfumes is located at 42 Rehoboth Ave., Penny Lane, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-226-2444. Website? http://www.pennylaneperfumes.com. Please check the website to know more about this interesting shop.
Penny Lane, Downtown Rehoboth Beach
The owner is Cindy Carey. She was not there on Monday, but Cassandra Parker was. My friend, Susan, actually, knows both of them. Introductions were made. Cassandra proceeded to tell us more about their products.
Originally, I thought they customize fragrances to suit your style. But, no, that’s not it. Niche Perfumery is an alternative to mass perfume production. Niche houses are showing up everywhere. I think it is because we are all so tired of being, as Susan said, geared to brand names. Niche houses tend to have their own perfumer in charge of the fragrances of the house, just like it was was in years past.
I wear perfume every single day. No kidding. I love it. I usually tend to buy frangrances that are green, sporty, and light.
This post is written with gentlemen in mind, as well. Penny Lane Perfumes has beautiful perfumes for men, also. Men can go through the same process as women. Just like Susan and I did. Test, test, and more testing. Don’t be shy, Cassandra is an expert.
Casandra helped us discover a “world of liquid emotion”. While I would say no to one fragrance, Susan would love it.
There are over 200 fragrances in the store; exotic flowers, spices and rare woods. You can wear them by themselves or combine them with other fragrances for a real customized scent. That was the best part, just trying to achieve that scent.
We tried so many of them. We also had the coffee beans on hand to neutralized odors, as well.
Niche Perfumery is sold only by distributors and approved retailers.
I fell in love with one called Premier Figuier Extreme from L’Artisan Parfumeur from Paris. It was light and delicious. That’s how I would describe it.
Then, went a little outside the box with one from Paris, as well, called Montale; Roses Musk. Also light.
Susan, on the other hand picked Opus with a very earthy scent.
These perfumes are meant to last a long time. Just spray in the morning and you are good to go for the whole day. Trying them on is a must, because they really adjust to your own body.
When trying fragrances, spray, but do not rub.
Penny Lane Perfumes has gift certificates available, as well.
Leaving, knowing that we would, definitely, come back…Susan and I wanted the same thing, an uncommon, personal fragrance. I think we got it!!
Talk to you later….
