The new boutique is truly a beauty, showcasing the variety of the brand’s aesthetic, ranging from the every day to evening to absolutely breathtaking statement sparklers. Just in time for the holidays, the new store is a great gift destination for your loved ones, with pieces at a variety of price points, friendly to a vast range of budgets (shop the under $100 section, here, at Sorrelli.com)!

See below for some of my favorite pieces, on display and available for purchase at the new store (located at 20 Church Street, Montclair, NJ), and if you’re in the area, check out the Kutztown, PA store (220 West Main Street; the famous, annual Black Friday midnight madness sale is coming up!!!), and you can always find Sorrelli online, 24/7, at Sorrelli.com and select pieces at Anthropologie.com!!
