It’s that time of year when we start longing for a summer vacation. Some of us are sitting at our desks reading Scoop Charlotte and daydreaming about where we can wear such fab ensembles. Hold all calls! Where shall we go? Tahiti, St. Barts, Cannes, the Caribbean? You name it, we’re going with you.

The first stop before our imaginary trip is Sweet Repeats Upscale Consignment Boutique in Dilworth. The merchandise here will make you feel like a million bucks without having to spend a million bucks. Once you step inside, you may think you’re dreaming. The money you save on this incredibly chic wardrobe can go into your vacation fund. Didn’t your mother always tell you that it’s important to always look your best? Regardless if you are going on a tropical vacation or having a staycation, Sweet Repeats has something for you. Let’s get those passports ready and get packing girls because you will save a bundle here and be able to make this dream a reality before you know it.

Imagine yourself wearing these designer pieces from St. John, Prada, Tibi, Miu Miu and more… as you lounge around the beach or pool sipping a cocktail and looking all glamourous.

Rebecca Taylor floral dress/ cover up $49.50, Jill Sander green bag $599.50, Miu Miu sandals $79.50, Peridot strands $49.50 and Chloe sunnies $139.50

Let’s all give a warm scoopcharlotte welcome to the girls who are opening Vestique on Tuesday, 5/22 next to Maddi’s and Pour Olive on East Blvd. They have a shop in Raleigh and a nice store online as well – so you can check out their adorable and super-affordable frocks before you swing by. We got a sneak preview of the shop, still under construction this week, and it looks adorable. A really big space, with lots of colorful clothing and jewelry, priced so low it’s hard to believe. Online, their dresses are all under $60, their tops all under $40, and most of their jewelry is under $30. We kid you not.

And don’t forget to stop in and say hello to Sophie at the new Pour Olive, where you can get a special sample bottle since you saw it on scoop.

Bedside Manor offers complimentary In Home Design Service.

Interior design can be intimidating, and for some of us, even the thought of hiring an interior designer is intimidating. (I mean seriously, by the time you’re finished, the designer and your contractor will know you almost as intimately as your family, maybe more!) BEDSIDE MANOR wants to help simplify the decor process for CHARLOTTE customers, by bringing the samples and products to you so that you can see how the colors, textures and patterns look in your own setting.

They have a professional design staff with experience in all styles from traditional to eclectic to contemporary. Call 704-442-4006 for an appointment if you live in the Charlotte Metro area.

If you aren’t ready for an in-home consultation, Bedside Manor also offers an “Approval” program. They’ll lend you any merchandise in the store for 48 hours so that you can take it home and see how it looks before you purchase. The ultimate in Try before You Buy.

12 Ideas for Unique Teacher Gifts, Grad Gifts, Hostess Gifts.

Even though we think of December as the month of never-ending gift giving and receiving, many would say May is quickly over taking that honor. With teacher gifts, graduation gifts, hostess gifts, end of school gifts and Fathers’ Day gifts, you can just about wear yourself out with all the buying and wrapping – and none of it is even for you! We recently shopped the Embellish boutique in Cotswold Marketplace and found lots of gift ideas for every need. From candles to travel bags to unique jewelry to one of-a-kind vintage accessories, Embellish (and Cotswold Marketplace) have it covered at all price points and a one-stop shop.

And best of all, most at Embellish is on sale this month, marked down by anywhere from 15% to 50% off.
