The new Madelyn Rose Boutique is a go-to source for wardrobe statement pieces and more
By Laura Briedis
You know that girlfriend who always shows up looking drop-dead fabulous, rocking the super-cutest styles?
Well she’s probably shopping at Madelyn Rose Boutique. This treasure chest showcases oh-so-adorbs looks, stylish shirts, jackets, jeans, pants, dresses and all the must-have accessories.
Named after her daughter, owner Danielle Romstadt has sought out the fashions, both on the international and local levels, and brought them to her charming shop in downtown North Royalton.
“Our eclectic vibe provides a different sort of shopping experience,” says Danielle. “I carry lines you won’t find in other places, designer looks that range from classic to edgy (or just plain fun) that also won’t break the bank.”
Fall Fashion Forecast
Danielle is constantly researching trending styles to bring to Madelyn Rose, including Boho-chic looks with bold prints and flouncy sleeves.
“The big color for the season is a toss-up between mauve and cinnamon,” she says. “And layering is a must, from sexy camis with lace bottoms to peak out from under chunky sweaters to cardigans with fringed edges.”
The most popular jacket she sells is called “The Arianna.” (See it modeled on the store’s Facebook page.) Made in Italy, it is a cotton based jacket with a flirty ruffled hem.
“It comes in several muted shades and literally looks great on every woman who tries it on,” she says. “It will be the most versatile piece you buy this fall, as it looks stunning with skinny jeans and a white T-shirt and does double duty over a fitted dress.”
Jeans, Jeans, Jeans: A Love Story
There’s isn’t a woman out there who isn’t looking for the perfect pair of jeans—and they will find it at Madelyn Rose.
“One of our favorite lines—Grace & Lace—comes in skinny legs, and they are unbelievably comfortable, with just enough stretch to move with you, yet they hold their shape,” she says.
“Distressed jeans are our hottest sellers. Fringed hems and sections of tiny micro-pleats are also the rage right now.”
Local Artists Custom Design Jewelry, Hats
The boutique features a bevy of one-of-a-kind items, including hats with the state of Ohio emblazoned on them in a variety of ways, and jewelry.
“Whether you are a NoRo Bear, Brecksville-Broadview Bee or Strongsville Mustang, we offer a variety of charm bracelet bangles, pendants and earrings,” she says.
Look for a Charm Bar to open soon at the shop, so you can custom-make your own pieces.
And you’ll actually be looking forward to winter after you’re outfitted with the plethora of plush knitwear, from scarves and hats to novelty mittens in the shape of penguins, rabbits, and other creatures.
Steals and Deals at Maddie’s Closet
Danielle is a big believer in repurposing fashion, so she created a department within the boutique called Maddie’s Closet. Like the rest of the shop, it contains trend-worthy styles, as well as shoes and handbags.
“It’s our way of making upscale affordable,” she says. “For me personally, discovering high-end consignment helped turn my love/hate relationship with shopping back to all love.”
