Although it took me 40 minutes to find a parking place, I finally did one Thursday evening...but had only
15-20 minutes to try on and find the "perfect" dress. The staff was sympathetic to my adventure to find parking and, in what time that was left before closing, I not only tried on 5-8 dresses but found the PERFECT one for an upcoming wedding.
The dress needed to be altered and, again, I was treated like royalty...
OH yes, Seychelles is the place to go for a dress that is unique!

I dream about their berry bread pudding. I prefer it chilled (not nuked) with berry sauce on the side. The black bean soup is filling and flavorful. Atticus panini is FABULOUS a thick slice of Vermont ham. The bread basket is fun with various types of artisan bread from Chiabata and assortment of jam and jelly. Croissant is delish. Coffee may be super good or not as good (but always better than marginal). The place has wireless connection. I'll take Atticus over going to the big bad national coffee shop chain across the street any day!
Pros: dessert selection
Cons: unpredictable quality of coffee

The Wave Gallery is one of my favorite gift shops in all of the many cities I've ever lived in. They have a wonderful selection -- you can find something appropriate for pretty much anyone. They have cards, candles, jewelry, knick-knacks, art and tons of "cutsie items." Prices are reasonable -- depending on what you buy. They do have a nice selection of items in many price ranges. Their merchandise is unique and fun -- not what you would find in a traditional chain card or gift shop. I love to shop here -- and I see something new each time! Highly recommend.

Hull's Art Supply and Framing has a nice selection in downtown New Haven. Near Yale University -- lots of the art students shop here, but many of their regulars are locals as well. They have a great selection of art supplies to fill your every need and they also have a good selection of frames and gift-type (such as cards and books) items. The service is good -- it's often busy, but if you can get a staff member, they generally know what they are talking about. Prices are a reasonable -- maybe a little higher than some of the superstores -- but then the selection is better.

Peter Indorf is the dude who knows jewelry in New Haven. Peter is a master craftsman and his store showcases his talent of designing beautiful jewelry. If I was to be given a piece of jewelry (such as a diamond) I would want it to come from Peter Indorf. Peter can also design a piece for you or sell your antique jewelry. A very trustworthy jeweler.

If you need a fancy dress for a special occasion -- this is the place to go. It's a small shop with a nice selection of dresses for it's size. The dresses are upscale and so are the prices. I've window shopped in here many times and have seen tons of dresses that l love -- but they are all out of my price range. They do occasionally have sales. The staff is hit or miss -- sometimes they are helpful, sometimes not. If you want something a step above the department stores -- this is the place to go for that special dress.

This bookstore in downtown New Haven makes its business by serving the Yale community. It is one of the favorite spots among professors from the University to copy and distribute course materials, as well as to order required books. The bookstore provides this service very well, and the course packets are always ready on time. However, it does not go far beyond that and most of the books that can be found in there are books that have been, or are likely to be, used for different classes at the University. The decor is equally utilitarian and offers little to soothe the senses.

This crazy little shop near Toad's Place is one of the coolest places you'll come across in New Haven. Tons of coo, trippy, one-of-a-kind things that you'll never see anywhere else. My Mom loved it too!

I don't know how these guys do it, but their flowers and arrangements are absolutely beautiful!
I've used them in the past for several parties and special occasions and have been thrilled every time. They aren't cheap -- know that in advance. But, you'll have terrific bouquets of flowers that will last a long time.
Enjoy many hard to find flowers and know that they will take your arrangement very seriously. They know their craft and they know their flowers.
They are extremely busy, especially in wedding season, so expect a wait if you aren't there first thing.

My experiences with Hello Boutique and HelloBoutique.com have been wonderful. The store is fully stocked and artfully arranged. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and sensitive to my needs. My shopping experiences have been extremely pleasurable and my purchases are ones that I treasure.
Shopping on the web at HelloBoutique.com has also been positive. The site is easy to navigate and features excellent photographs, technical information, and descriptions. If I do have questions, Customer Service has been courteous and responsive.
One of my favorite lines is BKg. I love the fact that the sweaters are 100% incredibly soft cotton and made in America! When I??????ve ordered a sweater, if it is not in stock, the ??????Please Note Availability?????? section at the bottom right of each style details that special orders are available and the date that it will be shipped! Any back orders have been promptly tracked by Hello Boutique??????s Customer Service.
HelloBoutique.com is my first choice in online shopping for women??????s clothing and the Hello Boutique is a place where I can enjoy the totality of a shopping venture!
