I really like this little shop. It’s been there for absolutely years, so it must be doing something right. There’s not a lot of boutique-y opposition in Manly but what there is have their own niches. Butterfly on the Bay has its points of difference too — it doesn’t concentrate so much on the shimmery evening dresses or over the top designer brands, like a couple of other stores in the are do,. Although there are some nice labels here the clothes are a nice mix of pretty day wear, some evening frocks and even some gear I’d wear to work.

Manly is a great place to wander. There are so many great little shops and cafes right on the water front. Butterfly on the Bay caught my eye last weekend. I found it to be a stylish little boutique with a great range of chic women’s clothing in lots of sizes. Bright, colourful fabrics jump out at you when you walk in. The clothing style is largely feminine and floaty. Lots of delicate, colourful dresses with belts at the waist and gorgeous chunky necklaces to accessorise. I could have easily bought a whole outfit just off the window dummies.
