Shopping in Elizabethtown

“Consignment” means the store buys directly from consumers and designers; the staff only accepts high-quality new and gently used items. Chic dresses, jackets, tops, and accessories often come with tags attached from designers including Prada, Versace, Gucci, Cole Haan, and Coach. Some recent bargains include a brand-new beaded cashmere sweater from Saks Fifth Avenue for $32 and an Ann Taylor jacket for $24. Formerly $400 prom gowns may go for $32–$42, while mint-condition Coach and Prada handbags can sell for $60–$75.

Flag Lady Gifts offers an eclectic selection of giftable goods and patriotic paraphernalia. This deal gets you a 3'x5' two-ply polyester American flag ($56.30) made of extra-strength spun polyester with sewn stripes, full-sized embroidered stars and a pole sleeve for front-door flying. These flags (made by Valley Forge) can resist the gust of high winds, red rocket glares, and bombs bursting in air, and are all made (naturally) in America. You also get two reflective, vinyl oval U.S.A. decals (normally $2.85 each) to stick to the back of the car or tandem bicycle of your choice. Seize this opportunity to publicly announce your household's favorable impression of America this Fourth of July or gift a U.S.A. flag and decal to a friend.

Jennifer Mann has always had a keen eye for fashion. Pulling from her industry experience—which includes a role as senior advertising executive at Lehigh Valley Style magazine—Jennifer opened Shuze, packing its shelves with stylish accessories from both uncommon and renowned designers. Inside, colorful displays of shoes from San Miguel, Nicole, and Frye line up along tables amid racks of Tolani scarves and Silver jeans. Meanwhile, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings from local artists glimmer beneath the boutique's soft lamps. Patrons can plop down on colorful, cushy couches, trying on Hunter wellies, resting their legs, or checking beneath the cushions to see if the couches have babies.
