Last night I had way too much fun. When you mix shopping, with wine, Otto’s Pizza, and some of your best girl friends you get yourself a good time {and some cute new clothes}. I don’t know why it took me so long to visit Bobbles and Lace, a newer boutique in Portland’s Old Port area, or to schedule a girl’s night out there but it unfortunately did and I’m so thankful that McKenzie reached out and offered to host one for me.
Bobbles & Lace is a very trendy boutique located on Milk St in Portland {parking was honestly super easy!}. They also have locations in other New England states but the Maine boutique is run by two local ladies, Kelsey and McKenzie. While you can browse and buy the clothes online or via the shop’s Instagram, {just DM them if you see something you like and they can hold it aside for you after you pay over the phone} I highly recommend shopping in person or even hosting your own Girls Night Out there. I personally really enjoyed being styled by McKenzie. She put together some amazing outfits and pulled some pieces for me that I normally would have been too afraid to try on.
Everything from their shoe wall, to the aesthetic of the shop, to their high quality jewelry will make you want to buy everything in sight. While you can get a really good taste of what their clothes are like from browsing their inventory online I would compare it to Boohoo, Zara, and Nasty Gal but better, especially where you can shop it in-person and be styled by the ladies there. Additionally, the price is similar to what you will find at Lulus.com or Abercrombie or honestly a lot of retailers nowadays but again its all about the experience, return policy, customer service, and getting to try on the items in house.
If you have any questions about the boutique, my shopping experience, or hosting a girls night out there feel free to reach out to me!
