But with my champagne taste and a tasty micro beer budget, I was looking forward to checking out Ivy & Leo's new store in SouthPark at the Specialty Shops on the Park. Upon my entry, the first thing I did was gravitate to the fall sweater dresses and checked a few price tags around the store. Here's what I saw as (very) general price break downs from my quick peruse: Tops: $30-$60 Sweaters: $40-$80 Dresses (cocktail): $50-$100 Dreses (casual): $30-$75 Jackets: $30-$100 (didn't see real leather here) Jeans: Didn't get a chance to check these out Accessories: $5-$30 Shoes: Didn't get a chance to check these out either So, as you can see the prices are pretty affordable for a cute trendy piece. This store definitely skews a bit younger, but it's not "clubbing" clothes, nor will these items last more than three seasons if you know what I mean. I did a little digging and I found a really cute blousy cocktail dress with a bit of beading on the sleeves for $60. Plus, they usually don't carry more than 3-5 of each item (varied size) so the likelihood that you'll run into someone sportin' the same dress/coat/shirt/etc. is rare. While it's not my end all be all to Charlotte fashion, it's nice to have a store like this that's really accessible to wide range of ages and interests. With the nice, helpful and non-pushy staff, eclectic selection and affordable prices, I'll be back to Ivy & Leo!

It didn't look right so I didn't wear it. Hours online say 10 AM. They were not open at 10 they were not even open at 11. When they finally opened, I tried to return the jacket and they only do store credit. Which is useless to me because I do not live in Charlotte. I was only there for work. Do not buy something if you expect to have to return it that's the stupidest return policy ever. And the attitude of the ladies there when I was trying to return it was awful. They were very unhelpful and said well I can't really do anything for you then if you don't live here. I guess you're just out of $100.

More than any other boutique, Boem seems to have the most variety of big, bold necklaces...exotic tribal styles, statement pieces, etc.etc. You're sure to find something cute (in apparel or accessories) during your excursion here. I found some of their clothing way overpriced...a ballpark of $200 for some of their tops (even T-Shirts!), for instance. Jewelry isn't cheap either, but relatively cheaper? This is a fairly big store, with a long layout, but they have SO much stuff, it's a bit packed in...and hard to manueuver around, but only if the store is fairly crowded. They do have HUGE, private, walk-in closets though (only 3?)...so plenty of privacy. One other thing I didn't like was that on my last visit, they were playing Country-Western music...which I didn't think fit the look and style of the store at all (unless maybe it's moving in that direction?). Before that, they always played cool, more metro type music. So guess I don't love EVERYTHING about this boutique...but no matter, this is a fun, eclectic boutique...with lots of relaxed, Bohemian styles (very Californian?), which I tend to wear often. Also, like I mentioned, a great selection of chunky necklaces!

We had to circle the lot and eventually found a spot. The shop sells ladies clothing that has kind of a laidback, California style. Some of the items look like pieces you could wear to concerts or events like Coachella. The layout is easy to navigate - bralettes and crop tops at the front, jeans and shorts in the center on tables, skirts and dresses on the left side of the wall, tops and outerwear mixed in at the back and in the center across from the registers, and shoes on the right side of the shop. Staff greeted everyone warmly and told us to let them know if we had questions or needed help. I was there to browse. While I didn't see anything this trip, it was a pleasant space - perhaps not my style of clothing, but they had some great pieces. Definitely plan in advance with regard to parking - it could be tricky to find a spot.

Martini, with a small lot in front of the boutique. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding parking. The shop offers a beautiful selection of upscale designer clothing from Gucci, Saint Laurent, Sacai, and others. Everything was arranged by colors. Clothes are toward the front with accessories in the center and back, shoes in the far right corner. Staff were gracious and friendly. They left me alone to shop on my own, but they were there to answer questions and help in any way. I visited during the summer when some items were on sale. I tried on a stunning pleated skirt that was about 40-40% off. Still pricey, but it was fun to try on. I didn't walk out with anything in hand, but I would come back to see what was new.

I have always wanted to check this place out, after entering into the store, I smelled something expensive. I fell in love with one of their YSL blue hand clutch, that was to die for -- but cannot afford it. They carry Celine bags, not readily carried at Neiman's. Their shoe selections were good, my friend and I loved their Givenchy white stilettos with the zipper rim that was $650. If I had the money, yes I would shop here. I give it four stars, because the selections they had were actually nice, the place is clean and spacious, and upstairs (Poole Shop) had contemporary clothing, jewelry, candles/lotions, and sale selections that we ended up getting (green tank $19 and organic light beige for $49)! Clothing for the win!

I wouldn't pay 5$ for it. I can't wear it ; pulls to one side Unfortunately for me it was a final sale- if the staff had told me it was defective I would not have bought it. I didn't notice the defect because I didn't try it on. Buyer beware at this boutique!! If the staff didn't know it was defective then their quality control is unacceptable.
