“A Locally Owned Shop with a World of Style”
This weekend, I went into Quarter Moon Imports at The Cottages on Lake Ella and fell in love. I bought the most gorgeous scarf and, better yet, it was fair trade which made me feel even better about my purchase.
Selection
You can find everything here from clothing and jewelry to chopstick sets and home decor Anytime I want a unique gift, I will definitely be going to Quarter Moon first.
Price
Price really varies depending on what item you are seeking and what kind of item it is. Quarter Moon Imports carries fair trade, cooperatively made, small cottage industry, USA made, union made and eco-friendly products.
Atmosphere
I loved the atmosphere of this store. It was a mix between vintage and boutique and the layout of the store made it easy to look at anything and everything.
If you are ever visiting Lake Ella or just simply driving by, they are definitely worth checking out! You can also browse through some of the items they carry here.

Cole Couture is one of my favorite boutiques in Tallahassee! Last year, they were voted Best of Tallahassee for Woman’s Clothing.
Selection
Cole Couture claims to cater to the “professional and the professional party girl” and I agree! They have everything any fashionista could want all under one roof. They carry top brands including J Brand, Free People, French Connection, TOMS Shoes, Michael Kors, 7 For All Mankind & more!
Price
The prices vary. From what I have seen, you can spend anywhere from $20-$200.
Atmosphere
My favorite part of this store is the atmosphere. When you walk in, you immediately notice how unique the look of this store truly is. It is similar to walking into a cozy cabin full of everything you could ever want/need in your closet! On the end of the rack, they will put together a sample outfit and/or an accessory such as a scarf or a necklace that they recommend wearing. Whether I end up purchasing anything or not, I always leave the store feeling inspired.
Cole Couture is located at 1240 Thomasville Road.
