My husband and I were lucky to score a street spot nearby. The store is rather small with individual rooms so he opted for fresh air while I enjoyed shopping the unique finds. I eyed up scented bar soaps, cute little bowl, earrings, stationary, scarves, journals, lotions, candles and such before I landed on a Fulton & Roark colognes for my husband. The staff were friendly and this was a fun store to visit.

They carry a great assortment of jewelry, small gifts, pet items, home goods, and other fun finds. I especially appreciate that they are genuinely dog-friendly. I can bring my dog inside without being told I have to pick her up, and they even keep treats on hand for their furry visitors. That kind of welcoming atmosphere makes a difference to me and is one of the reasons I'm happy to support this local business. Also be sure to visit their sister boutique, Betty by Moxie, nearby on Thomas Avenue for women's apparel, children's clothing, toys, and gifts.

The majority of the clothing here is trendy without being over-the-top youthful that an older woman wouldn't feel comfortable shopping (looking at you, Forever 21). The carry a ton of Ivy & Leo clothing. Some of their sales can be great at the turn of a season (50-75% off). I would like to see them boast a larger shoe selection as they usually only have a few styles available when compared to their clothing selection. The service here is pretty standard for boutiques - they promptly asked me if I needed to start a fitting room and were able to answer my pricing questions. They didn't go above and beyond with asking me if I needed new sizes or pulling other items they thought I would like. One interesting thing to note is that the staff seemed incredibly young - high school to early college-aged, I wasn't really sure who was in charge. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the Park Road Shopping Center area!

But with my champagne taste and a tasty micro beer budget, I was looking forward to checking out Ivy & Leo's new store in SouthPark at the Specialty Shops on the Park. Upon my entry, the first thing I did was gravitate to the fall sweater dresses and checked a few price tags around the store. Here's what I saw as (very) general price break downs from my quick peruse: Tops: $30-$60 Sweaters: $40-$80 Dresses (cocktail): $50-$100 Dreses (casual): $30-$75 Jackets: $30-$100 (didn't see real leather here) Jeans: Didn't get a chance to check these out Accessories: $5-$30 Shoes: Didn't get a chance to check these out either So, as you can see the prices are pretty affordable for a cute trendy piece. This store definitely skews a bit younger, but it's not "clubbing" clothes, nor will these items last more than three seasons if you know what I mean. I did a little digging and I found a really cute blousy cocktail dress with a bit of beading on the sleeves for $60. Plus, they usually don't carry more than 3-5 of each item (varied size) so the likelihood that you'll run into someone sportin' the same dress/coat/shirt/etc. is rare. While it's not my end all be all to Charlotte fashion, it's nice to have a store like this that's really accessible to wide range of ages and interests. With the nice, helpful and non-pushy staff, eclectic selection and affordable prices, I'll be back to Ivy & Leo!

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!
