I mean, come on, this is too cute for a little girl who definitely wants to be a mermaid at the beach – or at her pool. Heck, why not the bath? I think this would make any potential Ariel happy and it will make a great gift to my niece Ava for her 5^th birthday. Aunt Stacey better get busy! Pretty please owner Keely Fell has truly created a magical space with her kids-themed store in the Town Center. If you haven’t visited her store yet, be sure to stop in the next time you are on the Boulevard. Oh, she also has a great website www.prettypleaseonline.com.

Priced: $42

Come on, we had to include something for the fellas in our first blog. Jason over at Orvis tell me this is a “must have” for big game fishing. I’m sure you guys will know what that means. I kid. It’s, um, the really, really big fish that you see on the walls of restaurants, lodges, clubs, yachts and the fine homes of big-game fishermen! If you stop by Orvis, be sure to get Jason to show you some of his casting techniques – the guy knows of what he speaks.

Priced: $795

Coldwater Creek delivers every time. Check out these beaded flip flops and great belt. These sandals will dress-up any sundress or pair of shorts and the price is right, sister. The belt will pull together an outfit for the perfect finishing touch for a “put-together” look. These exceptional staff at the Grand boulevard store really know their business and will bend over backwards to assist you with what you are looking for.

Priced: Beaded belt $69.50 and flip flops $19.50
