Sewickley Children's Store Having Closing Sale

The owner of Pink & Blue, a children's clothing and accessories store, plans to close by the end of the month.

Kelsey Rhea spent the past year operating Pink & Blue in Sewickley. The owner said Thursday that the children's clothing boutique at the corner of Beaver and Broad streets is now slated to close.  The boutique is currently offering a sale on all merchandise in the store.

An Early Farewell to Bailey & Bailey

Open since 1995, the store selling the newest trends in upscale designer collections plans to close.

While I have never had the disposable income to shop regularly at Sewickley’s women’s clothing boutique, Bailey & Bailey, I have visited the store countless times over the years.  Whether I’m simply browsing, rummaging through the sale rack or shopping for a special occasion, it’s rare to leave the shop without coveting several clothing items. Because Pittsburgh has often been behind the curve when it comes to high-end fashion, it’s a treat to be able to at least look at beautiful clothes, even when I can’t necessarily afford them.  Bailey & Bailey owners Holly Miller and Elsa Cabiya have giving shoppers access to designer brands that no other Pittsburgh stores sell, and they've kept customers coming back for 20 years. Over the years, …
