Patch Picks: Five Great Boutiques in Waukesha

Waukesha is full of tiny little surprises. Waukesha Patch took a look at five different boutiques in the city where people can find unique items that are special to the area.

A long-time downtown staple, the Little Swiss Clock Shop is characterized by the giant stuffed Winnie the Pooh that greets customers as they step in the store. The store has a selection from watches and small clocks to grandfather clocks. The store also provides repairs for your family heirlooms.

This store, which is newer to the downtown area, offers supplies that you need to turn your photos into scrapbooks with your added sense of personality and style. The store has areas to work on your projects and includes classes to teach you how to preserve all your memories.

Bangles & Bags offers all things shiny and sparkly. From jewelery, handbags, scarves and more, the store has a selection of different accessories to make even a drab outfit look fabulous.

The store also hosts Diva Days and participates in the quarterly art crawls.

Tucked away in downtown Waukesha, Lares Fashions & Western Wear has been in the community for nearly 20 years. While the boutique sells a variety of casual wear for people of all ages, it also has a collection of evening gowns, perfect for the upcoming prom season.

Chocolate lovers unite. From premium truffles and special treats, there is a large selection of chocolate throughout the store. Whether it is a reward for yourself after a long week of work, a present for your significant other or party favors for your wedding, there are plenty of chocolate options to select from this small business in downtown Waukesha.
