“My husband grew up in Hopkinton, and we knew we wanted to stay local,” Nealon said. “I found a niche to be filled, as there were no clothing stores in town, and a location that worked so I opened.”

“I also have a variety of local artisans that provide accessories for me,” Nealon said. “I carry jewelry, earrings, scarves and other accessories as well as clothing.”
Nealon is active in the community and regularly participates in fundraisers.
“I will donate if asked for a local fundraiser,” she said.
Nealon is concerned about the plans of the Downtown Initiative Steering Committee, noting that she is opposed to the current plan.
“I think what they are doing is unfortunate,” Nealon said. “I think this town could be so much, but things like taking away parking spaces seems counterintuitive to businesses in the area growing. I don’t know how the changes will affect me, but I do think people may be less inclined to park and walk up and down Main Street to see what the locals have to offer.”
Nealon would love nothing better than to make you look smashing for your upcoming social event.
“I have great clothing, and all of the accessories to match,” she said. “I get new items in each week.”
