Patch Picks: 5 Local Greenwich Boutiques

Each Thursday Patch will run a new feature called "The List," highlighting local picks geared toward planning your holidays, events and day-to-day life in Greenwich.

With winter on its way out, we figured most seasonal hibernators were looking for a few good reasons to get out and go shopping. Check out these five great local boutiques when you’re in town:  

• Wishlist (350 Greenwich Ave., Greenwich; (203) 629-4600): Ladies frequent this funky, cute boutique started by two local Fairfield County fashionistas for Free People shirts and dresses, True Religion jeans and tons of other cute, trendy duds.
• Second Time Around (6 Greenwich Ave., Greenwich; (203) 422-2802): You never know what you’re gonna get at a vintage boutique, but this one promises some of the coolest, most interesting secondhand designer apparel and accessories for men and women for a fraction of the price.   
•  Ella Vickers (85 Greenwich Ave., Greenwich; www.ellavickers.com): Here you’ll find furniture that leans nautical, including sailcloth-covered pillows, bags, and canvas paintings of sailboats. World travelers will enjoy the selection of sturdy duffel bags, tote bags and messenger bags.
