Get ready to shop! Ann Csincsak (née Ann Lueders) of ‘The Bachelor’ Season 13 and her business partner, Katie Meyer will be opening a new clothing boutique in Breckenridge, Colorado called Vintage Sweet & Chic on November 12, 2011.
Although formerly a dream of Katie’s, when she met Ann, the two joined forces to get the business off the ground. During a recent interview, both ladies expressed their overwhelming excitement about the venture and emphasized the need for a place on Main Street that carries cute and trendy pieces.
“Breckenridge’s staple clothing piece is snowboard pants and tall tees,” Ann said. “So unless we wanted to dig through our husband’s closets to fit in them, we decided to make a change rather than conform.” The ladies also decided to keep the name of the place simple. “Vintage Sweet & Chic, comes from ‘Vintage’ which speaks for itself, ‘Sweet’ is the old fashioned candy wall, and ‘Chic’ defines that it’s a totally awesome boutique for the ladies.
Despite the fact that Ann and her husband Jesse Csincsack, the winner of ‘Bachelorette’ Season 4, are both very busy with their newborn son Noah (the store mascot), Ann does plan on being at the store as much as possible. In fact, for the time being she and Katie will be the only employees. “We are everything from the cleaning crew to the head buyers to the personal stylists of the store,” Katie noted. For the single ladies traveling to the area, Ann and Katie say that if you happen to meet someone on the slopes, come by their shop. They will help make sure that your outfit turns that weekend fling into a lifelong romance! Vintage Sweet & Chick inspires great date night clothing pieces and also offers vintage fur coats, an essential winter piece in a chilly place like Breckenridge.
