This is a boutique in Southpark that I've visited a dozen times over the years...mostly because I…read morelove their selection of jewelry. 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!

This is located in a small plaza that shares parking with the condos/townhouses above the…read morebusinesses. I went during the week and it was a little tricky finding parking. 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.

I ordered a clothing item from the online website that didn't end up working out for me and decided…read moreto return it in-store at the Southpark location since I remembered that location opened not too long ago in Charlotte. I have bought multiple items from Aritzia before online and at the location in Atlanta and have never had any bad experiences. At the Atlanta location I was always greeted walking in and leaving and the employees were always kind and offered help if needed. I can't say that about this location unfortunately. I walked in and was not greeted by anyone even though two employees were standing near the door. I wasn't too bothered by that at first though and went to the register until I noticed another customer walking in and them immediately greeting her as she came in. Once I was at the register, the employee who was there didn't greet me either nor directed me to which register to go to and had a blank expression on her face. After I returned my item, I decided to walk around and see if they had anything else before I left. I found a top and continued walking around the store before I went to the dressing rooms to try it on. While I was still looking around at some of the clothes, a woman came in with her child in a stroller who was screaming. Instead of trying to ignore the sound and make light of the situation, about 4 or 5 of the employees went and huddled together at the other side of the store talking amongst themselves and staring at the woman and her toddler. Before I went to the dressing room I was looking at another item and an employee was walking past me. I looked at her and smiled and said hi since we were close near each other and she too, just like the employee at the register, had an uninterested look on her face. She replied "hey" to me as well but didn't even make eye contact with me while saying it. The only employee who was helpful at all was the employee in the dressing room. When I was leaving, the two employees standing near the exit said goodbye to the woman who left not too long before me, but again, did not say anything to me when I was leaving. However, when leaving I noticed two other customers walking in and they greeted them and even complimented one of their outfits. I do not want to insinuate or assume that the employees only interact with a certain type of customer based on looks/appearance or etc., but I know that I will not be shopping at the Aritzia Southpark location again.

Today I came into Ivy and Leo South Park. I felt un-welcomed. I was the only person of color shopping. I didn't get a welcome when I came in from the multiple sales associates standing behind the register. I walked around. Out of all the associates working, one lady greeted me when I got closer to the far side of the store were she was straightening inventory. She was nice and I accepted her cheerfulness. I continued to the far back right to look at the longer dresses. Do you know one of the ladies literally tried to squeeze past me without a greeting or offering an excuse me so she can get by to put her cup in the "break room/closet" in the back. Ma'am, I do not bite. It wouldn't have hurt you to say excuse me while trying to squeeze past me. I literally left without anything. I came out bothered. I'll stick to the other locations where they welcome everyone.

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!

Oohh and make sure you are dresses to impress because if you do not look the part they will not speak to you! I was never greeted when I walked in and the two associates that where working would just look over at me. Sad thing is I could have purchased anything in here but due to the way I was treated and lack of help I just left. Save your self some time and do not shop here. It is clear this place judges a book by its cover and if you look like you don't have money they will just ignore you. You are better off to drive down the road and shop at capital, at least they will speak to you and help you no matter what.

Checked out Sloan today during the "Super Bowl Sales" event that I found out about on scoop…read morecharlotte. To be honest, I'm generally a bit leary of checking out boutiques in Charlotte as they tend to be a bit out of my price range, but today I was happily surprised. Beckoning me with the 30% off all merchandise (including sale items), I entered the store and immediately liked almost everything I saw. The downstairs show room housed beautiful clothes, a very large selection of jeans (which is what I was in the market for today), and a very large selection of jewelry. Upon heading upstairs to Step by Sloan, I was honestly a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of beautiful shoes in multiple price ranges. As others have noted, the store crams a ton of clothing into a small amount of space, so be ready to sort through tons of pieces for your size. And if you go during a sale, be ready to wait for a bit to try on your chosen items as there are only a few changing rooms. In the end, I realized that even without the additional 30% off, the prices weren't quite as far out of my price range as I'd thought. I don't mind paying a bit more for trendier, well made pieces, and will definitely include Sloan in my regular rotation of stores that I shop at in the future.
