STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

You may have no reason to ever go to Burlington, VT, but I cannot recommend Stella enough.

They have a website (www.stella-shoes.com), but it is not active yet. They're reportedly working on it and have a link to their eBay page as a placeholder. My favorite thing about Stella is the selection; it is so refreshing and unique. Super cute favorites (Frye, Michael Kors, Camper, Juicy) plus several less common lines. A few styles I can describe as only New England-Avant Garde (can't remember the name).

If you live or travel nearby, it is def worth a trip.

Their sale kicked butt ($100+ shoes for $29) too.
