When you walk in, you're immediately dazzled by the beautiful decor, luxurious vibes and inviting atmosphere. You want to see everything. Whereas you might expect a luxury boutique to carry mostly tiny sizes, I was pleasantly surprised at their range of sizes, styles and prices. Not everything was super expensive, though there were very expensive pieces. Every corner is impeccably curated and filled with beautiful, thoughtful items. Laura of Pembroke is newly on my list of places to visit when I need a gift or want to buy something for myself (you know, for when you get in that mood of just wanting to buy something for yourself). I love that they are in Pinecrest and nestled near other wonderful spots. I bought a beautiful, glitzy necklace from the sale section that I cannot wait to wear. I'll be back!

From start to finish, working with Bonnie was a breeze! I was concerned about finding a makeup…read moreartist who was familiar with African American makeup and I reached out to her. From the first interaction, lines of communication were open and she was honest and upfront about her services and pricing (which was very reasonable). She worked with me when I had several contract amendments and was early the morning of my wedding. I elected to get the airbrush package and it lasted all night and day - even after we got caught in a rainstorm. I did not have a trial, but Bonnie provided the exact look I wanted. I would recommend her for all makeup, not just bridal!

Bonnie and Cleveland Bridal Makeup is hands down the absolute best!! I first met Bonnie several…read moreyears ago when her team was doing the makeup for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in. I had been a bridesmaid several times before, and I absolutely LOVED my makeup that Bonnie did. It was the best makeup I ever had. I then referred her to a friend and had Bonnie AGAIN as another bridesmaid and so when it was time for my own wedding, Bonnie was the first person I called. I actually live in DC and Bonnie and her team gladly came to DC for the weekend to be there for my special day. I am SO grateful for Bonnie and her team. They are SO fun to work with, have such bubbly fun personalities and are the absolute best make up artists around. I felt SO beautiful on my wedding day and was so grateful to Bonnie for making the trip to DC. From start to finish they are easy to work with, responsive, helpful, affordable and accommodating. Bonnie was easy to work with to schedule a trial for me when I was home in Ohio one weekend which was so appreciated. Over the years I've built a personal friendship with Bonnie since she is just so fun and cool! I'd highly recommend Cleveland Bridal Makeup to anyone wanting to feel their most beautiful on either their wedding day or another special occasion. Thanks ladies!!!

I travel to a good amount of little boutiques. I try to stay away from chain stores and big…read moredepartment shops. When I moved 5 minutes away from Chagrin Falls, I went down to the village and went to all the little boutiques with my mother. I fell in love with Nola True instantly. All of the clothing is so unique and chic. Nothing is over the top but everything has it's own unique twist that it just instantly makes you feel so different in the best way possible. Ever since finding this store, I now have 5 dresses and two shirts from this store. I have taken my mother who has bought a shirt and my 92 year old grandma's birthday outfit, I have taken my aunt who has bought three pairs of pants and a shirt, and my girlfriends when they come and visit me who can't stop talking about it. They have everything from dresses, to shirts, to crop tops, skirts, jewelry, and cute hand bags. Nola True is the first place I go to when I need a new outfit that I know no one else will have. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back to see their latest purchases!

Wow! I am so smitten with Lakewood Art Studios! How did I, lover of all things handmade, not know…read morethis was here?! I was taking a yoga class at nearby Puma Yoga when I randomly noticed Lakewood Art Studios and decided to wander in. What a pleasant, pleasant surprise. Lakewood Art Studios is an artist collective, education and event space in Lakewood. I'm spitballing from memory, but they feature maybe 30+ local artists. Think the most unique pieces of jewelry, art, greeting cards, ceramics and other odds and ends thoughtfully curated in a gallery. You constantly have things to explore and no two things are the same. For me, buying handmade local artisan goods is my weak spot. Seriously, take all my money now. They also offer a variety of classes ranging from photography to portrait drawing and a comic book club, all held in the small classrooms in the back of the shop. This is a pretty special place. I was in a bit of a rush when I visited, but I am already planning to go back out to Lakewood to specially spend more time in Lakewood Art Studios appreciating all the one-of-a-kind pieces. I'll come here to discover new artists for my collection or buy stunning, original gifts for friends!

A small variety of art (photo, painting, sculpture, mixed media) but very well organized in the relatively small space.

Community Arts Center is a branch of the Cleveland Museum of Art and houses a gallery with lots of colorful, huge, exciting pieces of art created for and used during the Parade on the Circle! This gallery space is beyond inspiring which upbeat music playing and colors galore. They also have four art rooms decorated with large murals, tables, and art supplies. These rooms are set up with make-and-take art projects that are free to the community and they also offer art classes and events. This was such an amazing find and now I can't wait to bring all my friends here!
