LOVE this boutique! I was visiting Jacksonville this weekend, and visited little Five Points for the great shopping. My fav thing about Crave...you know all those great labels you see in magazines, but can never find? So many of them under one roof! There was a huge selection of William Rast, James, Siwy, Prvcy, Genetic & more. There was a really great mix of both trendy & casual pieces, sexy cocktail dresses by BCBG, classic separates, and the best selection (& prices!) of Gypsy 05 I've seen outside of LA.
This was my first experience in a boutique where, instead of being marginally acknowledged by the staff, I felt like I had a personal shopper instead. The owner, Robin, helped me find two amazing pairs of jeans based on my body type & style (William Rast's Bella Flare and Prvcy dark-wash skinny jeans). I even got my wedding dress here ;) I found a beautiful BCBG fitted white halter dress for our impromptu beach ceremony - it looks gorgeous in the photos, and the best part is, I can wear it again, dress it up, dress it down.... And I picked up a great Sir Alistair Rai scarf that is going to carry me into fall.
I totally agree with Cari S's review...the jewelry was to die for. By Boe, Melinda Maria, Alex & Ani, and some fantastic pieces by a NYC designer under the label Boheme. Even my husband, who generally doesn't enjoy shopping, found some great pieces for himself a couple of great English Laundry shirts & some- the men's wear is really thoughtfully chosen IMO - cool and unique, but not over-the-top trendy. And there was a great "small" gifts section with candles, perfume, soaps, etc.
Overall, amazing selection - have already marked some pieces for fall to order online! read more
