After eating some of the best pulled-pork enchiladas of my life at the Clarkston Union one Saturday afternoon back in August, my friend and I wandered into Frank & Me, an adorable boutique store on Main Street in downtown Clarkston. Its two stories are packed with stylish clothing and accessory finds, as well as fun gift-worthy items like wine-scented candles and mugs and linens with funny sayings on them such as “Caution: free range children” and “Mom, you’re so cool they named jeans after you” (love that one).
I believe I stumbled into Frank & Me during one of my previous Clarkston visits but for some reason decided not to cover it for the blog then (maybe because I moved in and out of it too quickly to get photos – it’s happened before in window-shopping scenarios). I feel justified throwing it on here as a new place because I know that previous visit didn’t pre-date the origins of the blog, and it’s too cute not to include!

I’m on a Royal Oak kick lately. What can I say, it’s a lovely town! Even after all of these years, there are still a bunch of places there that I haven’t visited – partially due to businesses closing all of the time there lately and new ones opening up in their places (what’s the deal with that, Royal Oak?). I’m not sure how long Saffron has existed in this storefront, but when I stumbled upon it as I was strolling around one leisurely Sunday afternoon, I was immediately excited. This shop is my jam! This shop is like the best part of my brain threw up in it and the throw-up materialized into clothes! Ok, that’s sort of a gross analogy, but it feels true to me. What I’m saying is, the delightfully hippie, free-spirit clothing and accessories Saffron offers quite resonate with my heart.
