From its well-kept clientele to its lacy designer underthings, pretty dominates at Wayne's Menagerie; but the boutique's fall collection of natural stone and metal jewelry—all handmade by owner Kate Lawson—is a little tougher around the edges.

"The collection takes its inspiration from the fall fashion trends like camouflage and motorcycle jeans," says the boutique owner. "I use lots of gunmetal and pyrite for a bold feel to complement the strong fall fashions.The collection feels strong and independent, like most women these days."
