Shop Local - Sadie's Boutique and Kitchen A La Mode - South Orange, NJ

These two shops in South Orange, NJ are simply amazing: Sadie’s and Kitchen A La Mode.

Occasionally I walk into a store and want everything. OK maybe more than occasionally. This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME I’m in both of these shops.

Sadie’s

Sadie’s, 65 Valley Street, South Orange, NJ

Sadie’s has beautiful clothing for both men and women, home accessories, jewelry, and gifts. And my FAVORITE part is that many of the items have a socially conscious connection - money either goes to charity with a purchase, or many of the brands are environmentally conscious.

Kitchen A La Mode (KALM) has everything from kitchen and cookware to tons of cool gifts and home accessories. Anything and everything related to baking, cooking, coffee, drinks, tea towels, mugs, cutting boards, candles, pots, knives, you name it. Popular brands like Corkcicle and La Creuset. Did I mention I want all of it?! (Check KALM’s Instagram for hours.)

And, Cat Fischer, a very engaged South Orange resident, is the owner of both of these beautiful stores (pictured below).
