While visiting in Rochester this weekend we found a charming shop on Park Avenue
called 2Chic Boutique.
The dress forms in the windows were attired in amazing outfits and enticed us to go in and take a closer look.
There were some fabulous separates by Krista Larson as well as a variety of fashions by other wonderful designers.
My sister had fun trying on all the great hats....
I just loved the fabrics...
...especially this collection of grays, blues and lavenders....
in taffetas, silks, tulle ...and lots of ruffles!
Jennifer Kinsman is the owner of this unique boutique.
She does a wonderful job at selecting fashions and accessories and displaying all these beautiful clothes. Tea and cake were set out on a sideboard and there were fresh flowers and crystal chandeliers to complete the ambiance.
Jennifer took the time to draw us a map and point out all the highlights of the area and her favorite restaurants.
She loves Rochester and was born and raised here.
It is clear that Jennifer has exquisite taste and puts her heart and soul into all that she does...
She loves her beautiful and charming boutique.

So did we!
I hope you had a fun weekend !

I would love to visit that shop. So unique.
fun weekend? not really,but it did feel good to complete jobs that needed to be done before winter. we cleaned the chimney,so we can burn wood for heat. removed two nonusuable satellites from the roof for recycling. and just cleaned up the yard somewhat. and now here we are back to starting a new week. make a good week for yourselves. Bestest,Denise
...That's it!!! I'm on the next flight out ~ Can you pick me up at the airport so we can go shopping at this GORGEOUS shop??! I adore Krista Larson's designs and then you can show me the flea market where you found your box o` skeleton keys ~ `kay?!!

What a fun store. I have a friend who lives in Rochester. I'll have to send her that way if she hasn't already discovered it. ~ Sarah
oh, goodness...
I love those looks, I wear them everyday...in my head. Then I pull on some jeans and a t-shirt. I have no idea if I could wear them, but would enjoy taking that chance.
Did you try any on? take something home?
Love all the colors! Thanks Laura! XO Trish
That looks like a real gorgeous shop, great you had so much fun!

LOVE these clothes and hats, Laura! They remind me of the French "Atelier des Ours".
What a fun place to shop!
Love,

I am so glad you found Park Avenue. There are many lovely shops there and fun places to eat. My friend and I are headed out Wednesday for lunch there and a few other "junk" places we love! Come back again soon!!
Hi Laura!
What a cute shop!!!! I love seeing people with great merchandising skills that love their work..Th windows remind me of a little shop in the Maris, Paris with that layered look. I love it! Maryanne xo
If only I could shop there.......
Is it you in the last picture?
Fine evening
Hugs
That is Jennifer...the owner of 2Chic Boutique!
Doesn't she look adorable in that hat?
:)
What did you buy? I wouldn't have been able to resist one of those gorgeous hats!
Krista Larson is one of my favorite designers right along with Cynthia Ashby. If I had lots of $$$ it's all I would wear...except for at work.
Then again if I could afford the clothing I wouldn't be doing what I do:) haha
Glad you got away with your sis.

Looks like a slice of a fairy tale in that shop.

Hugs,

This shop looks like a wonderful place to visit!! I believe the butterfly hat is calling my name!!
Wow. What a wonderful shop! Just wearing one of those creations would make a woman feel like someone in a movie!
I WISH I had the courage to dress in clothes like this, but people would just stare rudely, you know? ... but I have dreamed of being the pretty girl on a sunny farm dressed in petticoats and homespun, a basket of fresh picked flowers over my arm, a happy dog at my side.
