Hi! Im Kristin! Next Boutique has been a staple of the Kingston Rondout Waterfront since 1988, and I’m honored to continue the legacy of this beloved local shop. As the new owner, my goal is to preserve everything that has made Next special for nearly four decades- its welcoming atmosphere, thoughtfully curated collections, and genuine connection with the community- while introducing fresh styles and new brands over time.

One of the best parts of stepping into this role has been meeting our customers. Everyone I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with so far has been incredibly welcoming, friendly, and supportive. That warm sense of community is truly the heart of Next, and it inspires me every single day.

I’m grateful to have Beth continuing alongside me, bringing her incredible style, experience, and familiar presence to the boutique. Her long-standing relationship with our customers and deep understanding of the shop’s identity remain an essential part of who we are.

Outside the boutique, my life is happily full with my husband and our two kids, Leo and Lena. We love exploring the Hudson Valley together, school events, play dates, pottery classes, afternoons at the park, and cozy nights at home keep our days busy and meaningful.

I’m excited for this new chapter and dedicated to keeping Next Boutique a place where every person who walks in feels welcome, inspired, and at home.
