No Gatekeeping! The Cutest Stores You MUST Visit in Key West

By: McKena Pennington

Key West Florida, known for its gorgeous blue waters, and island-like feel, is the

closest you can get to the equator without leaving the US. For spring break, I was lucky

enough to catch a flight to this tropical paradise. As a coffee lover, shopping addict,

and sun-ray-obsessed girly I made it a mission to find the best spots for fashion,

accessories, and unique finds.

Since I won’t gate keep from any MUUZ readers, here is a curated list of must

visit shopping destinations in Key West.

Float

By far, Float was my favorite store in Key West. This trendy boutique is filled

with statement jewelry, linen pieces, and unique finds. The layout is what made it

truly special - five rooms, each color coded, making shopping both aesthetically

pleasing and effortless.

I instantly fell in love with the pink room. While, Float is on the pricier side,

splurging on a dress or a chic set SO with it. The high quality fabrics and impeccable

craftsmanship make each piece feel luxurious. My personal favorites were the linen

maxi dresses, stunning handbags, and stylish shoes. I couldn’t resist walking away with

a lounge set and an amazing pair of summer jeans.

Bésame Mucho

Bésame Mucho is nothing like Float but it's a must- stop for elevated self care

and thoughtful gifts. Tucked away in Bahama Village, this charming boutique has a

little bit of everything- from jewelry and perfumes to soaps and leather goods.The moment I stepped inside, the vibe was exciting, inspirational, and calming all at once. Every shelf was stocked with high-quality self-care treasures—think luxurious hair brushes, exfoliating tools, and beautifully scented soaps. But what really caught my eye? The stunning Italian-made leather journals, perfect for writing. As someone who loves to journal, I couldn’t resist picking up a new blank one. Oh, and the perfumes and unique jewelry? Absolutely dreamy.

If you’re ever in Key West, Bésame Mucho is the perfect place to treat yourself

or find the perfect gift for someone special!

Vignette

The first thing that caught my eye at Vignette was the adorable white porch,

complete with an orange cat sunbathing on the front step. But once I stepped inside, I

was instantly hooked. Vignette carries the perfect mix of casual - chic essentials,

including:

● Shawls and cover ups - Ideal for beach walks

● Basic bras, teens and tanks - Closet staples

● Casual floral dresses (all lengths available) - Perfect for a sunny day

● Unique small brand pieces - Chic pieces that spice up the closet

● Minimalistic jewelry - Perfect finishing touches to any outfit

What made my shopping even better? Vignette is right across the street from my

favorite coffee shop, Keys Coffee Co. - a must-visit for your morning caffeine fix.

Indigo

If you love bold statement jewelry, Indigo is your spot. From bracelets to earrings, rings, and necklaces they had it all and I wanted it all. It was the perfect mix of elegant and spunky as each piece of jewelry stood out in its own way. While known for their jewelry, I also loved the beautiful handcrafted bags they had throughout the store. As well as a few racks of amazing thrifted pieces in the front of the store. Indigo was on the more expensive side but these pieces you would truly find nowhere else, so finding a piece you loved would totally be worth the investment.

Key West is full of beauty from the beaches to its boutiques, its friendly locals to its incredible food. If you’re a shopping lover like me, add Key West to your dream destinations. Not only will the experience be unforgettable, but the shopping is

endless!
