Normally Labor Day Weekend is a great excuse to go somewhere fun and enjoy a long weekend, but I have been going non-stop for as long as I can remember so I was all about a STAY-CATION! It was just what I needed to recharge my battery and get me ready for the exciting month of September.One of the many highlights from the weekend was college football (Go Vols!, sorry, had to give my Tennessee boys a quick shout-out) and the much, cooler weather.
Staying in Raleigh for the weekend also provided a great opportunity to check in with some of my favorite local boutiques to see what is new in for Fall. One of my favorite stores, Charlotte’s Jewelry and Gifts, is always loaded to the gills with great gift ideas, shoes, bags, and jewelry. They can personalize just about anything and have helped me with many wedding, baby and graduation gifts. I purchased my bridesmaid gifts at Charlotte’s many moons ago and they were such a huge hit, my friends still rave about them to this day. This trip I walked away with an adorable baby book for a dear friend titled This Little Piggy Went to Prada. It takes traditional nursery rhymes and well, makes them posh and fashionable. It is seriously too cute for words!
After finding the perfect baby gift, the lovely Stephanie Harris showed me some of her must-haves at their North Hills location. I am in love with their new shipment of Michele Watches that have interchangeable bands in just about every color of the rainbow. They also have a huge selection of Kenneth Jay Lane jewelry in for Fall. Stephanie was modeling a beautiful, flowered, enamel necklace that is the perfect statement piece.
Other favorites include a black, leather handbag that looks identical to Valentino’s Petale Satchel at a fraction of the cost. They also have in the latest twist from Jack Rogers - their popular sandal now comes in a…wait for it…WEDGE. Brilliant! So if you haven’t been into Charlotte’s lately I highly recommend you do. I guarantee that they never disappoint. And don’t forget about their other locations at Cameron Village in Raleigh and The Forum in Wilmington.
Happy shopping and don’t forget to tell them you read it on The Shop Tart!
