Nestled in the northeast Minneapolis shopping district, Parc Boutique is a staple for affordable women's fashion that goes beyond the basics. While there's plenty of classic tees and denim, the rest of the boutique boasts a collection that's on trend without feeling too trendy. The best part? Most items are well under $100. There's plenty of local jewelry and clothing in store, too, including a line by Minneapolis designer Lisa Hackwith. Owner and stylish mom Thao Nguyen is committed to creating a cool vibe for shoppers and keeping them up to date on the latest looks. She hosts regular events, including "Sip and Shop" happy hours and creates seasonal lookbooks to showcase favorite pieces — an essential style tool for the fashionably challenged. 320 E.
