Such a sweet store! I recently revisited this Main Street boutique and was pleasantly surprised to find it had expanded into the space next door, as well. Double the pleasure, and double the selection of footwear for Fido!
This is one of the first places I check for something fun, girly, and unique to wear to a party. A previous poster remarked that the dresses are not great quality for the price and she has a point. I am occasionally frustrated when the only dress of a particular design that they have in my size has a small hole or a missing button. Nonetheless, their dresses are so cute and perfect for new years, weddings, and banquets. PS. take a peak into the jewelry cases. Their selection of necklaces, headbands etc. is somewhat limited but the pieces are delightful!
This is definitely the shop to go to if you want to be kitted out like a girly-girl. Racks of floaty dresses, ruffles and lace, satin and sashes. Even their maxi dresses, a fashion abomination generally, are cute. And I loved the kids corner, especially the vintage picture books - A to Z of Puppy Dogs! Even though I didn't find what I was in the market for, I enjoyed the look.

If you are looking for an escape from the usual on Main Street, pop into Barefoot Contessa for something different. The Barefoot Contessa is aptly named. Entering this store definitely feels like stepping into a modern day princess's dressing room at her summer villa. Lots of pretty frocks are on display along with unique jewelery, feminine home decor, and sweet gift items.
Sugar and spice and everything nice. Barefoot Contessa, with its sweetly pink storefront, is as pretty as it's going to get. The boutique itself is akin to walking into a giant, life-size fondant cake. The last comment is meant in the most complimentary way possible. Inside are the kinds of confections any repressed princess craves to wear. Lace, tulle, drapery, flounce... Despite all the apparent froth, substance and quality are always close behind. Barefoot Contessa is the perfect place to go when you need a fun little dress that will last you a lifetime.
Of all the pretty places you could shop, this is one of the prettiest I've seen anywhere. This store, which has a location on Main Street and one at 1928 Commercial Drive, sells lovely women's clothes, much of which is designed and made locally or in Canada, along with charming accessories, stationery, some baby clothes and accessories, and an eclectic mix of home decor and gift items. No matter what you are in the mood for, if it's precious and girly The Barefoot Contessa will have it. The clothes aren't cheap, but neither should they be as they are all made with such care and attention to every lacy detail. It's not all frilly, though, much of what they carry is actually a bit edgy, too: think pretty girl cruising around on her motorcycle. This store is a must-visit for anyone who loves things that are delightfully pretty, original and very creative.
