A many folks probably know...I love to shop. I also love a great deal and, still, I enjoy nice…read morethings. Hence why I enjoy the thrill of sale shopping. Well, Avalilly's is an adorable boutique in Cornelius and provides me with this same thrill through their unique concept. To quote from their website "Avalilly's brings in excess inventory and fashion overstock from the nation's top women's boutiques to the Cornelius store and offers this highly sought-after designer clothing at great prices." Rawr-some. It's not a big space, but you can certainly score designer duds for less here. Don't expect giant discounts (unless you're shopping their sale section)...look forward to more like 10-25% off typical boutique prices. Again, these duds are still brand new and many in season. The inventory changes often as does the selection of different items in varying sizes. Brand wise, I spied items from Three Dots, Trina Turk, Citizens of Humanity, J Brand, Michael Stars and more. There's also a well put together accessory collection including gorgeous bags, jewelery and belts. If you're in the Cornelius area, definitely drop by Avalillys - the selection may be just what you're looking for and the girls who work here are just as sweet as can be.

She made our bride feel so special and gave us the space to pick out dresses for her, making sure she could try on as many as she wanted. The boutique itself is beautiful, with a stunning selection of wedding dresses, including custom Meagan Kelly designs, so unique and elegant. They also have a separate clothing boutique, and my friends and I had the best time shopping there as well! So many stylish pieces and gorgeous accessories made it such a fun experience from start to finish. If you visit, ask for Courtney--she truly made the experience memorable!

I just love coming to this gem in Downtown Davidson. Being a Davidson resident, I think it is…read moreimportant to support our small local businesses. This place is so unique and special. I shop here regularly and truly enjoy the experience. The Village Store is part of our quaint Main Street area not to be overlooked. You can shop for housewares, local foods, boutique clothing and jewelry, toys, Lake Life and Lake Norman local gifty items, like tshirts, pillows, tea towels, etc. There is so much to look at here, and trust me, you will find something you love! The staff there is very friendly and the store is so well stocked. The prices are very fair compared to other boutique style stores, but I'd say the Village Store has the biggest selection of home and gift items in the Lake area. They have begun putting out their fall decor, and they really have some beautiful displays during the Christmas season. I really enjoy shopping here.

The Village Store is just the cutest store in downtown Davidson. They have so many different items…read more- jewelry, gifts, holiday decor, travel items, clothing, and the list goes on. They have a lot of unique items here, too, encouraging lengthy browsing. I was able to find a perfect gift for Christmas, and continue to visit this store every time I'm in Davidson. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, too. I only wish they were open later on Saturday night (like 7 or 8pm) so we could visit after dinner, rather than having to go before. Definitely check this place out of you are looking for a gift for yourself or someone else!

They have a small amount of jewelry, some clothes and the rest is gifts that I would say lean towards lake-life-preppy. Lot's of choices for dog and cat lovers too. This time of year there is also plenty of Christmas themed items and most of it is cute and not run of the mill like you may find at a Target. I was able to pick up a few things for my wife that I know she'll like and again, no hassles!

If you need a gift, this is a fantastic place to grab something you won't find anywhere else. Tons of vintage items: dishware, clothes, records, dolls, decor, and more! Lots of upcycled items and crafty things too. Every vendor booth is different. My favorite is the Crafted Mercantile booth. Beautiful high-end clothing for a fraction of the cost. So fun! Go by and shop local today!

Since many of the chain thrifts have super organized and color coded their merchandise we have become spoiled shoppers! Wanda's is straight old school and I love it! They have this and that and all kinds of what nots. I spend hours in there. The lady has always been friendly and amazing to me and Monica the cat omg! What a gem she is as well. Here are some tips to help with shopping at Wanda's: -There is a restroom just ask -IT IS LOTS OF STUFF!!! -Short hours closes at 3:00 -Closed on Weekends but open one Saturday per month. I forget which Saturday call and ask. -An amazing basement full of furniture and large items. Really dark and quiet down there so take a friend. -Prices are high on some things. Ask about negotiating on some things. She may work with you. -So much old back in the day stuff! Love it. -Bring young people in there to show and teach them about the nostalgia of the old A&P and the history of an old supermarket chain. -Have fun while shopping in there. So much to learn from the old items. -That's it.

One would not think that Gastonia, NC is the location of one of the finest women's clothing…read moreboutiques in the south, but I really think it is. The selection veers from classy to eclectic, the sales people are helpful, friendly, personable, and as involved as you want them to be. The prices are reasonable but not cheap, i.e. I bought a $120 dress, $180 black trousers (they stretch, but they don't look like they stretch!!!) that I am certain I will wear until I die, a fabulous green suede calf length jacket that will turn the plainest ensemble into fabulous ($130ish), and an indescribably shaped red top that I will wear to Christmas parties as long as I am still invited to Christmas parties. So what I think about that is you get what you pay for, within a working woman's budget. It's the kind of place where for a stylishly reasonable price you can purchase a piece that you will love and wear for years and that you will never see replicated anywhere you go.
