More Chicago Boutiques: Londo Mondo and Fox's Oh My!

 Alright BF's I won't waste any time! As you read from my previous post (or at least I hope you did) my sister and I went on a day trip to Chicago and yes I ended up scouring boutiques. It's what I do! Here are two more of the stores we visited. Pictured above is Fox's. Read the sign: Designer Clothes at Off-Prices. Ladies this means WALK IN. If I had to describe Fox's, I say it was the TJ Max or Ross of Boutiques in Chicago. This means put on your hunting gear ladies. Think of it as digging for treasures. And there are lots of little value priced designer treasures hiding in Fox's. Check out some of my finds.
Another notable stop we made was a boutique called Londo Mondo. Londo Mondo seemed to specialize in beach or cruise wear. Look at my pics to see what I mean.



There was some very cute stuff if there, but of all the things that caught my attention , this is what I remember most about Londo Mondo.
Cleavage Cupcakes!! These are simply boob boosters. Put these babies in your bra and voila! Cleavage! If you'd like to visit either of these stores Londo Mondo is located at 2148 N. Halsted Chicago, IL 60614 and Fox's is right next door at 2150 N. Halsted Chicago, IL 60614. One last amazing thing, Fox's actually also has a location in Atlanta, so I will be checking it out. Until next time (or next week) shop on Boutique Freaks!

eDrop Off: House of Consignment


HELLO BOUTIQUE FREAKS!!! Its been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, without a dope place to shop!! Okay I know I'm lame but I couldn't resist! I've been working on some personal growth as well as giving Boutique Freak a new look! Hope you guys like it :-) Alright, on to the goods! I was visiting my sister in Michigan for her graduation and we decided to do a day trip to Chicago. I found some really amazing stores so if your ever in the area or if you live in Chicago make sure you check out my next few posts to find some great places to shop! My first stop was at the infamous eDrop Off headquarters! I love the show House of Consignment on VH1 and I admire the creator of eDrop Off Corri McFadden. No, I did not meet her but from what I've learned about in Press for eDrop Off and of course the show I love her! So what exactly is eDrop Off you ask??
eDrop Off does exactly what the display window says! They describe themselves as a Luxury Consignment Servic. Here's a YouTube video that explains their process (this video was made by the eDrop Off Staff and posted on YouTube by them, NOT ME. However all of the pictures were taken by my sister and me)
 





So if you have a closet full of designer or luxury items and your ready to make room for more, why not choose to make some money off of it?? Go visit the eDrop Off Website or visit them yourself . The location I visited was in the posh Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago at 2117 N. Halsted. Tell them Boutique Freak sent you!

Spice Boutique: Where Sugar and Spice Make Everything.....FASHIONABLE!

Hello Boutique Freaks! I was invited (more like invited myself and they graciously accepted) to come out and visit one of Atlanta's newest shopping spots: Spice Boutique. Spice Boutique is located near the historic Sweet Auburn district in Atlanta. The Sweet Auburn area is known for its booming social and economic success for and by African Americans between the 1880s and 1960s. Sweet Auburn now has a budding fashion district and Spice Boutique is growing with it.

These are the fabulous ladies that planted to the seed, Portia and Jennifer. Portia, a professional model, and Jennifer, creator of Candy Girlz Shoes, came together to form Spice Boutique. The haute new boutique has been up and running for about 8 months now and they have so much to offer. You can get a little of everything from Spice, from exclusive vintage pieces, modern pieces by up and coming designers, haute lingerie, even "haut"er shoes, and banging accessories.

One of the things that really caught my eye when I walked in was the presentation of the shoes and once I got a little closer, the merchandise did NOT let me down. These beautiful shoes are adorned with Candy Girlz Shoes. The great thing about Jennifer's Candy Girlz Shoes is that not only do the designs and styles rival the likes of Louboutain but they're also affordable. My picutre does the shoe display no justice at all but heres a look at it.

While chatting with one of the store owners, Portia I got a little "tea" too. As she told me about all the different lines they carry in the store she mentioned that they carried J. Loren. I told her that I had been to his boutique La Bella Vie in Castleberry Hills (check out my previous posts here ~~>La Bella Vie and La Bella Vie 2). Unfortunately clicking the links to my post is the only way you'll be able to visit La Bella Vie because the owner closed his doors, but on a much higher note you can find all his creations in Spice Boutique. Heres one dress I thought was really nice.

Some other brands you can find here are Cupcake Mafia Tees, Pretty Posh lingerie, and Jewelry and Accessories by artist like Renitta Clements, Miss B, and Aja. You can visit Spice Boutique at 49 Boulevard SE Atlanta, GA 30312. Their website is coming soon, but in the meantime you can stay updated on the latest news with Spice Boutique via their twitter @spice_boutique for @spice_girlz , find them under Spice Boutique on facebook, or just stop in the store and join their mailing/text list! Be sure to tell them Boutique Freak sent you!

the store as well.

So make sure you guys go out and visit Spice Boutique at 49 Boulevard SE Atlanta, GA 30312, you can also visit their facebook page. Their
