For my local readers, you have to check out <a href="http://www.madisonaveofmelrose.com/">Madison Avenue Consignment Boutique</a> in Melrose. The owner, Joanne Cotton, has created a one-stop shop for fashionistas. We’re talking runway wardrobe at “I’ll take two” prices. All items are meticulously curated – including items on consignment and new fashion-forward jewelry lines. The store is filled with cool accessories, must-have handbags, conversation starting shoes and a lot of designer bling, not to mention high-end brands that would upgrade most closets.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Visit the Madison Avenue <a href="http://www.madisonaveofmelrose.com/Clothing.php">website</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Madison-Ave-of-Melrose/144329228969689">their facebook page</a> for updates on what is currently available or stop in to experience some bargain-shoppers delight ... you won’t leave empty handed!
