The second law of thermodynamics and the first law of Nelly lyrics hold that ambient heat and clothing have an inverse relationship. Disturb the natural order with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of vintage and independent clothes and accessories at Cuffs.

Located just west of Marshall Park, Cuffs stocks one of a kind vintage finds alongside independent and local designs, offering everything from tops, bottoms, and shoes to one-piece rompers and hand-made accessories. Suit up for summer in the color-splashed old-flame sundress ($48) or pay homage to childhood in the sand-and-sun romper ($46). Cuffs' chunky faux-leather, zip-back in-the-nude heels in taupe ($48) will match every color in your wardrobe or suitcase, and the vintage time-tested pocket watch ($32) will add a touch of Victorian class to your finest hooded gowns. Cuffs caters to the body-covering needs of both men and women, so update your beau's clothes with a long-sleeved day-one shirt ($38), or liven up a languid relationship by adorning the familiar face with chunky walk-this-way specs ($22).

The pint-sized boutique boasts a groovy thrift-store vibe, with stacks of shoes and racks of colorful clothing crowded along the sunny yellow walls. Cuffs' friendly staff will help unpracticed thrifters mix and match wares to build a beautiful spelunking or wedding-reception outfit and will outfit any fashion browser to strut the local byways, turning the heads of fashion-conscious teens and couture-conscious prospectors alike.

In-store only.
