If you absolutely love and want to have some luxury designer clothing and accessories, this consignment shop in Bedford Hills, New York is for you. The “Penny Pincher” carries Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Hermes, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Gucci and so many many more designers and all at consignment shop prices. They have sales (the day I stopped in there was 20% off select merchandise) and clearance so the odds are in your favor if you want to score a spectacular designer piece for your closet. There is a fabulous array of exquisite estate jewelry as well. It certainly is fun to browse through this store as the layout of the store is appealing and the jewelry displays are perfectly done. I must add that all the clothes, shoes and accessories are in immaculate condition and they absolutely guarantee authenticity. This boutique was voted repeatedly by Westchester Magazine as the “Best Consignment Shop”.

I found them to have a wonderful variety of clothing and accessories in all different sizes. You would be hard pressed not to be able to find a handbag or two or three to your liking. What I especially loved about this story was all the jewelry. Designer and estate jewelry — So many unique and exquisite pieces, I had to leave before I whipped out a charge card :).

They also carry a variety of furniture, some artwork and lots of home décor (reasonably priced).

This store is definitely worth stopping in if you are in the area, even to just window shop 🙂 !!

A Trip To Long Beach Island That Amazes — July 14, 2015

A Trip To Long Beach Island That Amazes

A wonderful friend invited me out to Long Beach Island in New Jersey a couple of weeks ago and it was a spectacular weekend all around – the company was outstanding, the weather cooperated and the food was absolutely delish!   And while there, lo and behold 🙂 to my surprise, I found a thrift/consignment shop 🙂 called Coastal Consignment & Salvage Co. Do not let the name fool you – this shop was so good that I am contemplating another trip there 🙂 even if it is just for a day. Their business card states “An LBI Experience” – and it truly was — the layout of the store, the quality of the merchandise, the pricing, the variety, all well above average. I think the reason for this is that they have very strict guidelines for donating/consigning and it shows in the exceptionally high quality merchandise.

They only carry ladies’ clothing and it was all stylish and very much in fashion, the layout of the store was one of the best I have ever seen and the pricing ridiculously reasonable. They had beach themed home decor for sale along with beautiful vases, crystal, porcelain, you name it and all good pieces and high quality. The clothes were very chic and in a wide variety of sizes as were the shoes. All name brands, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Jones New York, Gap, Eileen Fisher too many to mention.There is a good variety of handbags from inexpensive to moderate. The shoe section is on the small side but what they have is AWESOME. They had a nice rack of jeans all sensibly priced. Great accessories as well! They also sell estate jewelry.

I picked up two pairs Vera Wang pajamas in what looked like new condition for $12 each, a gorgeous black lace overlay skirt for $15 and a great Ralph Lauren stretch tee shirt (black of course 🙂 )for $10.

I hope that the pictures do this shop justice because it has definitely made may top ten and I don’t ever see it falling off the list.

So I must tell you if traveling to Long Beach Island in New Jersey, you must stop at Coastal Consignment! It was a GREAT shopping experience. 🙂
