Shopping in East Lake-Orient Park

Bella Garden carries designer footwear from $25 to $90, apparel from $25 to $75, handbags from $25 to $400, and jewelry from $10 to $120. Instead of wafting through a sea of grimy thrift-store blazers with rumpled tissues lodged in the pockets, you'll get a wardrobe that smells fresher than a 16-year-old's bow-adorned first car parked on a driveway made of air fresheners.

Revolve Clothing Exchange recognizes the cyclical influence of fashion. To carve out its niche and impede the constant flow of textile waste, the boutique buys, sells, and swaps new and vintage apparel from celebrated brands such as Diesel, American Apparel, and Anthropologie. This has earned it the loyal patronage of local fashion mavens and Creative Loafing Tampa's Best of the Bay Awards for Best Consignment and Best Women's Clothing Boutique in 2012. Its ever-changing arsenal of skirts, hats, shoes, and tops spans all styles and eras, from the floral prints and mini dresses inspired by the 1960s to the 8-foot-tall wigs from the 1760s. Skilled clothing appraisers maintain a curated collection of high-end boots, jeans, jewelry, and dresses, buying strictly from a list of brands and styles that focus on seasonality.
