La Mia Moda, Andover Philosophy: To bring customers clothing that is sourced from specialty designers they probably won’t find in larger stores. Standout Quality: Their level of customer service—they love when customers become friends, which happens often! Shopping should be fun and entertaining and honest, so you never leave second-guessing your purchase. What’s New: Some of their new lines include Aeron, Khaite, Mari Giudicelli, Smartees, Apiece Apart, and Carven. Trend: For fall, the 1980s are back big time. Think shoulder pads and oversized sweaters and jackets. Also look for refined Western wear—Millicent Rogers chic! Colors are bright this season, and red patent leather is a favorite. One Main St., Suite 102, Andover (and a new location in Wellesley!), 978-409-2797, lamiamodaboutique.com FRENCH + ITALIAN, Marblehead Philosophy: FRENCH + ITALIAN celebrates the effortless style of the French and the charm of real Italian sprezzatura.
