Jessica Pomerleau-Halnon

A strong sense of community brought Jess back to her hometown of Burlington, Vermont where in July 2011 she opened Jess Boutique on the Church Street Marketplace in the heart of downtown. She was a successful business owner on a mission to help all women feel more confident. Jess curated a collection focusing on comfort and feeling, as much as style. She used her shop as a force for good, supporting women, and giving back through local organizations.

"My favorite thing is when a mother and daughter come in and both find things they want. I think that's the heart of Jess Boutique."
