Most burgeoning cities have a lot of great options when it comes to fashion resale. So it's a good sign that Avalon Exchange, originally from Ohio, has opened their fifth location in the heart of Winter Park – now you can sell your threads to an audience that appreciates not only your eccentric style but also your thoughtful sustainability. They'll give you cash on-site, but chances are you won't make it out the door with it once you peek around at their incredible selection, so opt for the store credit. There's plenty of Supreme and Yeezy for your favorite hypebeast but also designer and professional gear for your friend with an actual job. Follow on Instagram if you're looking to secure Lululemon or American Apparel (RIP) before it hits the floor; that shit goes fast.

Goods and Services: Best in local shops, boutiques, dog groomers and more

Gypset

gypsetcollective.com

Taking its name from the early-2000s coinage combining "gypsy" with "jet set" (cf. Julia Chaplin's coveted trilogy for publisher Assouline), Sam Redding's Gypset provides boho-chic adornment in a wide range of price points for both Coachella princesses and more-prim types. Go for a subtle turquoise cuff, or load up neck, wrists and ears with pieces dripping in geodes, quartz crystals, gemstones and rare hardwoods. Find the mobile boutique by following @gypsetco on Instagram or checking the website; Redding's adorable renovated trailer is posted outside East End Market for the month of August.
