The Snob

A fantastic consignment shop. Today was my first time in but I will definitely be coming back. I…read moredidn't buy anything this trip but did see some lovely items I considered getting tailored to my size. The variety of men's items is significantly smaller (I get it- most men wear socks far past the first sign of a hole) but there is a great selection of women's apparel and accessories. What I enjoyed most of all was my interaction with the woman running the store today. Abby was not only attentive to where I was in the store and what i might need help with (offered to pull items out of the glass display case when she noticed me drooling over a gorgeous pair of Chanel earrings) but she also got to know me! I really appreciate that she took her time to build a relationship with me while I was in the store. It's employees like Abby that turn one-time-shoppers into customers and customers into regulars. Can't wait to visit again, bring friends, and leave fully confident I definitely needed those Chanel earrings.

Violet

I live in Atlanta but travel through Jacksonville quite regularly for work. I always make a point…read moreto stop at the most unique area of town, 5 Points. Although Atlanta has some good boutiques, some of my favorite shops are right in this strip of stores. While from the street you may think that Violet is a pretty, bohemian boutique, don't let the merchandising fool you. I am an avid shopper and this store carries numerous items that I have seen on overstock.com, at outlets, and on designer sample sale websites. I am not sure how this store stocks lines like Hudson and AG with only a few styles. I have worked in the fashion industry and know that you must purchase a wide range of the line in order to sell it, not just 1 or 2 styles. One of my favorite lines ever is Calypso St. Barth. The beautiful dresses and scarves are to die for. Too bad that at Violet, everything is way past season (some pieces I've noticed were from 2006) and super marked up. I saw a super cute blue dress with a ruffle from Calypso but tried it on and the fit was off. I also thought it was something I had seen last season. I got curious so I called the company, who informed me that the dress I saw at Violet was an irregular that was only sold at the outlet in 2009 for $39! The retail price on the dress in Violet, right now, is $218!!!!!!!!!!!! They have never once sold to Violet and the Calypso representative also informed me that this wasn't the first call she had received and their attorneys were looking into the situation. I was appalled. Not matter how cute a store is, or how nice someone seems, you never know. To me, that discredits the whole boutique. It's greedy, it is deceiving to customers and it is simply unethical. I don't care how pretty the store looks from the outside (or inside). I refuse to support someone who is not playing the retail game fairly.

LOVES! Spending two…read moremonths in Jacksonville, Florida was something I never planned on.. that is until my work sent me here for two months. Yep. But I digress... I made my way down to Park St. today on lunch break today after being referred by a local when I mentioned seeking out thrift stores in the area... well please note, Violet has nothing to do with thrift stores and neither frankly, does the 5 points neighborhood it's situated in but that doesn't matter. What matters is this boutique was just what I needed. It's only been two days and I was feeling completely like a fish out of water until I wandered in here and started chatting it up with Texie (the owner) who made feel totally at home. She even made up a little list for me of all the local great food spots! But on to the goods... Texie carries a little of everything.. amazing clothing lines, jewelry lines (erica weiner, and my new fave- Sage), handbags, freaking awesome candles... and tons more. She really packs it in but be glad she does- all items are clearly thoughtfully and tastefully chosen. Coming from the Bay Area, with a plethora of local indie boutiques, I was still surprised by a couple of lines I had never seen before. Needless to say after only 20 minutes I walked out with less money, but in much better spirits. I scored an amazing new fragrance that I know I won't run into on anyone else (a incredibly yummy & nostalgic smelling body oil by Sage with notes of incense, amber, & coconut, kind of reminds me of high school!) and a sweet yet practical pair of fresh water pearl drop earrings.. nothing like retail therapy to beat the "I'm stuck in Florida for two months" blues! Though my wallet won't appreciate it, I will most certainly be back in the very near future.

This is one of my favorites! Voluspa Crane Flower.

Despite living less than 3 miles away I had not been to the Flea Marker in years. We entered on the East side and when we reached the West side I spied PLANTS.

San Marco Book Store

Don't sleep on your local bookstores!…read more We participated this morning in a group walk and afterward, of course we had to stop into the bookstore! It's basically the law - you're in San Marco square, you go to San Marco book store. The book selection is ever evolving so there is always some new treasure to discover among the stacks. And often, I find books in there less expensive than Amazon. And there is a selection of books with author signatures as well, for no additional cost. Some of the signed ones have been ordered from the publisher, but a good portion of those come from live author events the book store participates in. There are so many wonderful events you can attend here, like the author signings mentioned above (and of course a slew of other things) And often, those authors will sit for a chat. I discovered a new favorite author when I accidentally stumbled into one of those events. It was neat to hear her discuss her book and answer some great questions. The. Store is also very involved in the community around them which I love. (The owner even participates in the group walks in the area sometimes!) They also partner with the library for some larger author signings and other events. If you love reading, this is a must visit!

Ever look back and say to yourself...I wish I had that toy, but it was hard to find back then (or sold out)? Do you collect a certain set of toys and/or action figures from movies, cartoons, games, etc. of days gone by? How about a comic book? Hard to find older games? If you have ever asked yourself any of these questions in addition to many more questions...look here! There is a pretty good chance they have it, or can keep an eye out for you and get it. When you walk into this place you will be overwhelmed with what they have in such a small space...it is amazing! It definitely takes you down memory lane.
