Augusta Twenty, Celia B, Coleman Collection, dress, H. Goose, local, Monkees of the West End, Muse Shoe Studio, Pedro Anton, Pink Chicken, Rush Wilson, sandals, savvy, shop, tops, Twill, Ulla Johnson, Xirena

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!

blush, buckles, chestnut, fashion, Muse Shoe Studio, nordstrom, Rebecca Minkoff, sandals, shoes, shop local, shopstyle, steve madden, Vince Camuto

We love a purchase to perk up our Monday…and we love sharing our recent obsessions with our belle-friends!!

A current obsession…this shoe in “of-the-moment blush”…


From Steve Madden via Nordstrom

And while it’s on SALE…why not try a color for next season…


And for you local Greenville belles, and immediate gratification, MUSE has these…

This Rebecca Minkoff at Muse is perfect for now and later!

And this Vince Camuto (again, at Muse) features that “easy-on, easy-off” zipper…’cause sometimes a belle can get impatient with all those buckles!!  Just sayin’

Obsessed yet?  Nothin’ better than a purchase to kick off the week!!

teen jeans (and other organizational ah-ha’s)…your friday friend-1-1

23 Friday May 2014

Jeans, organization, sandals, shoes, storage, t-shirts

Being moms to a few teen-belles, we are always trying to come up with ways to help the little darlings organize their ever-expanding wardrobes.  (not an easy task as the precious apples have not fallen far from the shop-a-holic-in-denial trees)  Add to those expanding wardrobes the typical dis-organization of the typical teen and the fact that both of our homes were built in the early 1900’s (as in the pre-ready-to-wear-why-would-anyone-need-more-than-a-cubby-as-a-clothes-closet days!!)

So…when an organizational idea strikes, we implement with abandon!  Take for instance the idea of using pretty coordinating baskets to store certain items in full view, freeing up some very valuable closet real estate.  Take a look at these images for some inspiration…

20140415-113847.jpg

Jeans work well in baskets because they are somewhat uniform in size and color, and can be folded in a way that allows the impatient prospective wearer to find what she needs at a moments notice

20140415-113923.jpg

Sandals can be paired up in baskets…again, making it easier for the prospective wearer to find what she needs (much better than the pile in the dark closet)…

20140415-113933.jpg

and Toms and other cute slip-ons work beautifully as well!

Bonus…if the teen happens to empty the jean basket as she tosses pair-after-pair aside in the getting-ready frenzy, (what…does it sound as though we speak from experience??), it is quite obvious to her upon her return to her chambre exactly where the jeans are to be re-placed (and the sooner the better…just sayin’)

Now, let’s not forget that these little organizational ah-ha’s don’t apply only to baskets and teen-belles.  We can all take advantage of some of these ideas.  Take, for example, one husband’s t-shirt drawer…

20140415-113946.jpg

This particular husband tended to wear the same 2-3 t-shirts over and over while insisting that “someone” was “stealing” his favorites.  Well, enter this brilliant idea (must give credit to a Pinterest pinner).  Storing the shirts in the drawer with the shirt-front visible allows the husband to do a quick inventory…as often as he pleases…to be sure all of his beloved shirts are present and accounted for.  Now everyone can rest peacefully 😉

We will share other organizational ideas in time…we need to give you belles time to implement these before we bombard you with more!!
