Shopping Annapolis, Md.
Chase the winter blues with a bit of retail therapy along Main Street.

By Kessler Burnett Photography by Kirsten Beckerman

Go Glam >

DivaMake it your New Year’s resolution to head to Diva for a cropped, velvet, merlot jacket by Pink Tartan, a silk swing blouse by Yoana Baraschi, and chocolate riding boots by Francesco Morichetti. We longed to have somewhere fancy to go so that we could slip into that long, black, jersey dress by Rachel Pally. 30 Market Space. 410-280-9195, http://www.modadiva.com.

Hard Bean Coffee and Booksellers

Time Out >

Take a break from the cold at Hard Bean Coffee and Booksellers with something warm and frothy. Indulge in a sweet treat (homemade scones and pastries) while browsing the racks of newspapers and books by regional and international authors. Can’t bear to be incommunicado? Feel free to check your email at the computers conveniently stationed at the coffee bar. 36 Market Space. 410-263-8770, http://www.beansandbooks.com.

Think Pink

Avoca

Warm & Fuzzy >

Curl up in front of the fire with a plush mohair and wool throw, available in a bevy of colors and sizes, at Avoca Innovative Irish Design. This shop specializes in classic Irish clothing: think classic tweed skirts and jackets, chunky fisherman’s sweaters, and fitted wool topcoats that make winter all that more bearable—and stylish. 141-143 Main St. 410-263-1485.

Wynn Bone Gallery

Tucked Away

Hidden within the Casa Nova jewelry store, the Wynn Bone Gallery is one of those secrets that’s worth sharing. Among the works by some forty-six artists, check out moody black-and-white images by Florida photographer Anna Tomczak, marble sculpture by Italian artist Enzo Torcoletti, and colorful mixed media landscapes by North Carolina painter Dawn Rentz. 161 Main St. 410-280-8840, http://www.wynnbonegallery.com.

Paradigm

Girl Time >

Everyday glamour is alive and well at Paradigm. Find sweaters by BCBG, classic wide-leg wool trousers by Level 99, and trendy mini dresses by Max and Cleo. We went wild for the tiger-stripped silk blouse by Hale Bob, the perfect complement to a
tailored, red wool coat we spotted by French Connection. 179 Main St. 410-626-6030, http://www.shopparadigm.com.
