Featuring both a carefully curated online shop and a brick-and-mortar location on Mass Ave, Francis + Fern is a woman-owned modern lifestyle, gift, baby and apparel boutique.
Founded by Kim Pauszek in 2017, Francis + Fern specializes in purposeful apparel, accessories and gift items “that make you smile,” according to the website.
“There’s always so much to look forward to here at Francis + Fern! From fresh new product lines to hosting special events in our very pink and very magical basement, and of course, connecting with all of you, our amazing customers…” the website states. “We might be 7 years in, but we are just getting started!”

Pauszek runs the boutique alongside her daughter, and said Francis + Fern is all about “girl power, kindness, and showing up for each other.”
Both the online store and boutique feature a variety of women’s clothing, jewelry, accessories, specialized gifts, paper and home goods as well as a section for children’s clothing and toys. The store drops new product lines frequently in addition to hosting special events, including a book club, in the “very pink and very magical basement,” according to the website.
Francis + Fern also makes an effort to carry a variety of items from smaller, independent brands and larger, more well-known ones, according to the website. The in-store selection includes everything from girly goodies to sassy trinkets to heartfelt keepsakes, perfect for friends, birthdays, or a “just-because moment.”
Francis + Fern is located at 421 Massachusetts Ave. For more information or to shop the online store, visit francisandfernboutique.com. To get in contact, email hello@francisandfernboutique.com or call 317-643-1890
