STAFF PICKS
GIFT SHOP:
Bailey & James, 51 ½ E. Bridge St., Rockford
Bailey & James in Rockford is a strong contender. The owner has a thing for picking the most adorable merchandise including mugs, candles, pillows and greeting cards. There’s a charming mix of local artisan’s work along with the Rifle Paper Co. line. I’ve developed a bad habit here: I purchase gifts for others and always something for me. —Missy Black
HOME DÉCOR:
The Found Cottage, 2450 Chicago Dr., Hudsonville
Every nook and cranny at The Found Cottage in Hudsonville gives me a mini panic attack. I need their things. I want their things. I have to own their things. Filled with ideas, emotions and vignettes, this place promises to do right by your home. —Missy Black
MEN’S CLOTHING:
Frances Jaye, 50 E. 8th St., Holland
Frances Jaye in Holland has a nice collection of men’s clothing — things I’d want my husband to wear so that I could also steal them from him. It’s classic stuff with a modern twist that has a romantic and gentlemanly vibe to it. —Missy Black
WOMEN’S CLOTHING:
Jade, 17 Squires St. Square NE #B, Rockford
I blew almost all my birthday money on dresses and tanks at Jade in Rockford. I had to stop checking their Facebook page for fear that I’d become penniless but well-dressed. They should be on your radar. —Missy Black
