Time to show some local love, belles!!

With all this “sheltering in place”, we are sure thinking of our local business owners and how they must be missing their shoppers!! We couldn’t help but wonder…what on earth can a belle do to help??

Well…we can keep shoppin’ – online, on instagram, by FaceTime, or just a quick call. There are all sorts of ways to break down those “social distancing” barriers!!

We checked with some of our favorite local merchants (and did a bit of shopping ourselves while we were at it) to give you the how-to on scoring some of their spring/summer goodies right from the comfort of your own, personal quarantine spot!

At Monkee’s of the West End one of us scored this cute little number…

The Cherry Dress from Celia B at Monkee’s

You can view Monkee’s inventory (shoes, accessories, clothing, vintage…) and purchase online for pickup at the store or have your goodies shipped. And…at the moment, shoppers get 20% off online purchases, so click away , belles!!

At Twill, we found an excellent assortment of jeans, accessories, and cute summer tops including several like this one by Xirena…

The Eden shirt in white from Xirena at Twill

Twill has everything up and running on their website as well, so purchases are super easy! Just click, purchase, done. They offer pick-up, local delivery, and shipping – no excuses.

Muse Shoe Studio is also worthy of some lovin’!

We are all about these cuties…

From Pedro Anton at Muse

They are posting their wares on instagram @museshoestudio and have regular shop hours (Mon – Sat 10-3) to answer calls and fill orders! PLUS…they are also offering 20% OFF all shoes!!

Here’s the “how-to” for quarantine-shopping at Muse…

Next up…Savvy Greenville! Another one of our faves and certainly worthy of some love and attention, Savvy also has their online shopping experience down pat!

One of us nabbed this breezy number …

Halsey Vintage Floral Dress in antique white by Pink Chicken at Savvy

We all need a little “retail therapy” as they say!! Savvy is offering free shipping over $100 – so get busy, belles!

Augusta Twenty is also ready and waiting with an excellent online shopping experience! We are all about some Ulla Johnson and they have quite the selection!!

But, why not elevate your lounging look with this kimono by Spell & the Gypsy Collective…

The Hendrix robe from Spell & the Gypsy Collective at August 20

Hop on Augusta Twenty’s website and have some virtual fun!

And downtown, Coleman Collection is full of all kinds of goodies! Jennifer’s website is fully functional and just waiting for your clicks!

And we are diggin’ some of her Coleman Collecton Private Label items like this fun, fancy baby…

One day, we will have the PERFECT event for donning something this fancy…we promise!! (as we sit in our pj’s at 5pm these days)

And for the fellas…

Rush Wilson is a must-do while you are clicking away!

They are offering “virtual shopping” by appointment and “RW Direct” with items curated with the discerning shopper in mind, posted online and ready for purchase (take all or just one or two of the items)…

Above…shirts from H Goose, and Duckhead chinos

Rush has someone always “manning” the store, so get in touch! They would love to hear from you and help in any way!

We know…we know…there are MANY more shops to cover! We will get to them and work to send some clicks their way as well!

For now, you have your shopping work cut out for ya!

cool summer frocks…’cause a belle needs to stay calm, cool and collected

Anthropologie, Charlie Jade, dress, Intropia, J. Britt Boutique, Maeve, Maven, Monkees of the West End, Savvy of Greenville, summer wardrobe

The South is living up to its reputation lately…hot and steamy!!  When temperatures hit the high 90’s and the humidity makes the air feel as thick as molasses, a belle needs some trusty stay-cool options in her wardrobe!

A light-n-easy dress is a mainstay in our summer closet…and we have picked up some new goodies lately.  Thought we would share…

From Anthropologie…


…this happy little Maeve number is perfect during the day with a simple sandal…and stuns at night with a nude heel

From Monkees of the West End…


…this slip dress by Charlie Jade keeps a belle prim and proper…even when she’s sweltering!

From Savvy Greenville…


…this lacy Intropia stunner keeps things ventilated (in a stylishly good way!)

From J. Britt…


…black hides a multitude of sins (i.e…”dewiness”).  We are loving this little Maven number

Keep it cool, belles!

poppin’ tags…belles in charleston

charleston, dress, Hampden Clothing, lizzie fortunato, off the shoulde, pull on pants, ragandbone, shopping, tassle earrings, theory, tibi, top

While working and learning at The Southern Coterie Summit in Charleston, we belles needed a perk up to keep up. Thankfully, there is no shortage of shopping in this beautiful city!

We both found plenty of perk-worthy purchases to be had at one of our all-time favorite boutiques, Hampden Clothing.

One of our first purchases was a crisp off-the-shoulder blouse by Tibi. The best part about this shirt is the flattering length and the fact that you can easily where a bra with it. Bonus!

  
Via Hampden Clothing 

Of course, we needed bottoms to go with this blouse…and lo and behold, of course Hampden Clothing was happy to provide in the form of this Theory Pant. 

  
Via Hampden Clothing

The perfect amount of stretch, a pull-on skinny that holds you in without cutting off your circulation. Let’s be honest, no one wants to feel like they’re in a sausage casing!!

The finish is classic and it holds its shape. A must-have addition to your wardrobe!
Now, obviously…a belle’s outfit is never complete without an accessory or ten…just sayin. 

With tassels trending so tremendously, we had, had, had to have these fabulous earrings.  

  

Via Hampden Clothing 

Dreamy, colorful yet a neutral, lightweight…these are the perfect addition to make your outfit “next level” !! 

Put it all together…


…and you have a happy belle!!

And of course, why do when you can overdo??  We just had to have this dress…

  
Via Hampden Clothing 

Flattering, easy, and not only can it be worn as a tunic or a dress but it can be worn with the buttons in the front or back.  Double bonus!!!  

All perked up now…try it, belles!!
