That's what I told my husband when I left there. I hadn't been in a few years, but I kept seeing ads of all of the things they carry, so I had to stop in again. So glad I did! It's probably my new favorite shop. So, what do they have that makes this place so wonderful? Everything a girl could want! They carry pottery from Fingerprint, Tab Boren, Etta B, and Crossroads Pottery, just to name a few. They have a fantastic selection of jewelry, including Earth Grace, Brighton, Waxing Poetic, and Kitzi. This is definitely the place to go for monograms, whether its jewelry, cosmetic bags, beach towels or shirts. They have a few super cute tops and dresses, and I believe I even spotted a few pair of shoes. I also noticed a good selection of picture frames and candles. The staff is friendly and helpful, but not overbearing. Everything is reasonably priced for what you're getting. Whether you want to buy yourself something extraordinary, or you're looking for the perfect gift for someone, this is the place to go! You can thank me later. :)

Great finds.

I also got a really good marmalade (raspberries and jalapeno) for a good appetizer with friends. Overall, I always hit this store for nice and unique gifts(usually silver jewelry) and they're always a hit.

They also have one of my new favorite things: buy 3 and get one free, not including items on the sale rack. I bought two dresses and a pair of shoes and got a cute little $28 top for free. They carry very trendy women's clothing, shoes and jewelry. I bought a tan and white seersucker dress that has already become my new favorite article of clothing. I can see this boutique becoming a go-to place for me as it's conveniently located right down the road from my office. The owner was super friendly and helpful. The prices were great! Two dresses, two tops and a pair of shoes only set me back $174. I already can't wait to go shop there again!

I have extremely sensitive skin, and used to wear another well known brand. Several years ago,…read morewhile traveling, I ran completely out of foundation and stopped at a Merle Norman store because it was nearby. I fell in love with their products! Since that time, I've worn MN makeup exclusively. I have very few breakouts and my skin looks so much healthier. I get compliments on my makeup all the time. It's no pricier than the other brand, and they give out free gifts during bonus time. Because I shop at this location frequently, they keep a record of what I wear, which makes it easy to run in and pick up more when I'm running low. In addition to makeup, a large portion of my wardrobe was bought at the OB Merle Norman store. The clothes are perfect for work or casual wear, and seem to be great quality. I typically buy off the sale rack. I've also bought a few pieces of jewelry from MN, and the jewelry prices are very reasonable. I totally adore this little locally owned and operated boutique!

I'm giving the shop 5 stars because I don't want this to affect their ratings but I had to post the…read moreexperience I had trying to place an online order from this boutique. I placed my order on 11/14 and messaged them the following day to ask about their shipping/processing timeline. They got back to me quickly to let me know that online orders are processed between 2-4 days and shipments take an additional 5-7 days. Then nine days after I placed my order (on 11/23) they messaged me on instagram to let me know my purchase was out of stock and they had to ship it from the manufacturer. Three days after that (on 11/26) they emailed me to let me know my order had been cancelled because the items were defective and they won't send out defective items so they cancelled my order and sent it back to the manufacturer. I respect that choice, but I'm disappointed because I never got the items that I wanted. I wish they would've checked sooner to see if they had the items in stock. I highly suggest shopping at this boutique in person instead of ordering online.

Deals, Deals, Deals !!…read more If you're in the Memphis area, then you have to check out the Southaven Outlets. This is a Tanger Mall, and although there are lots of deals to be found, you can find additional deals and discounts with the app. After a weekend in Memphis, I went to Southaven to find great deals. I stocked up on Columbia, PUMA, Nike, and Under Armour and even with the USD to CAD exchange rates, I still saved quite a bit of money. There are many stores to choose from, as well as coffee and food options, so that you can recharge and get more shopping done.

Walking into Tanger Outlets near Memphis is like stepping into a shopper's playground--except…read moreinstead of slides and swings, it's racks and deals. The moment I got there, I was hit with that familiar "Do I really need this?" battle in my brain as I eyed everything from Nike sneakers to Kate Spade handbags. The layout is open and bright, making it easy to wander from one store to the next without feeling like a lost tourist on a mall safari. Parking was plenty, so no awkward circling while pretending to look for a spot--always a win. Food options? Let's just say if you go expecting a five-course meal, you might want to pack a snack (or seven). Auntie Anne's Pretzels and Krispy Kreme do their best to keep spirits up, but I found myself dreaming of a food court throne to rest my weary feet and carb-load. By the time I left, my shopping bags were heavier than my willpower, and my wallet was a little lighter (thanks, good sales). Tanger Outlets is basically a retail therapy session disguised as a sunny day out--and honestly, I'd book an appointment again. Five stars for the deals, minus one star for the snack selection (I'm still salty about that).

I found the perfect Easter dress at this location. I went to try it on. I nanny a boy with special…read moreneeds. The boy is NOT shy and doesn't care if he knows you or not, he will carry a conversation with anyone. Because he's very social, he has to be under close watch so he doesn't wander around to talk with every other customer and get lost. When I went to try on this perfect dress, he of course went with me. The old lady at the dressing room ARGUED WITH ME and had an attitude because "she didn't know why he needed to go back with me," despite me explaining that he has needs that are different from other boys!! She just "couldn't understand why he needed to go back there with me," so I finally told her he didn't have to if she was willing to watch him for me while I tried on the dress (which I would NOT have let that happen, but she -of course- IMMEDIATELY DECLINED--imagine that). I was disgusted and hung up the dress in her face and walked out of the store with my boy. This particular employee was gross and rude towards someone with needs that are different from others and dared to ARGUE about it! I will not be back because of how rude and nasty this old lady was to SOMEONE WHO HAS NEEDS that might NOT BE what -SHE- WANTED them to be!! Yucky.

This store has your basic items of clothes, shoes, socks, home and kitchen stuff and some decor…read more They just don't have an over abundance of stuff which is fine with me because they don't over crowd their store. It's easy to find or look for items because of that. The store stays cleaner and neater when it's not over stocked. They usually have a good price on the honey we like and some unique dish towels which make great house warming gifts. I like coming here for the socks. They have some interesting ones and at a good price. The staff is available if needed which I like and they don't disturb you while shopping. Senior discount is given on certain day of week just ask and be prepared with ID. Check out the jewelry section they have some nice pieces that are not expensive but good quality.
