Shopping in Tampa Bay

  1. Penelope T

    For a new pair of fantastic jeans or the perfect little black dress, head to Tampa’s favorite designer boutique for a little retail therapy in a shop designed for pampering. From Rebecca Taylor to Citizens of Humanity, Penelope T has all the midrange designers, along with quite a few lesser-known names (which come with lower price tags).

    Big Top Flea Market

    This market re-defines ‘bargain’ with a capital ‘B.’ Forget retail when these 1000 enclosed and covered stalls can provide every essential and nonessential item ever produced. You gotta love it…or hate it.
