If you wander Winter Park and find stylishly dressed tots, chances are they will be donning duds from the well-known local boutique, Tugboat & the bird. From newborn to teens, limited quantities of designs from local merchants as well as national brands such as Petit Bebe, Halabaloo, and Anavini draw customers into this whimsical boutique with the signature yellow door. The store’s layette department includes their own private label in addition to well-known brands. So, whether you want to pick up a classic for your cutie or bring back a one of a kind toy or trinket, stop by this long-standing Winter Park jewel.

Zou Zou

Walk into this swanky boutique and its evident why the store not only has a mass following, but has graced the pages of national magazines Harper’s Bazaar and InStyle. From the moment, you step foot into the chandelier clad Zou Zou, you get a sense that owner Wendy Ricci, who by the way is just as stylish, has a keen eye for on point fashion trends. One of the pioneers of the Orlando boutique science, who made a name for herself back in 2001 with her Thornton park store, Ricci took a risk when small indie stores in central Florida were scarce. The risk paid off and her vision of unmasking a unique and fun shopping experience has manifested into two locations where fashionistas of all ages flock to for spectacular customer service and haute trends.

The Grove

It’s hard not to get excited over this locally owned boutique right of the aforementioned Park Avenue. The charming little nugget is as delightful as the stores owners. The Grove offers everything from candles, to home décor to stunning apparel. Bring home a piece of Florida with the stores’ exclusive honeysuckle jasmine candle and instantly remember your sunshine filled vacation, or even a cute notepad bearing the signature zip of Winter Park, 32789. Sure, there are original art prints, but they may be a bit harder to fit into the suitcase. So, treat yourself to a cute little sundress, fedora and designer shades, and take a piece of sunshine with you.
