Hot, graphic color from Barcelona designer Desigual has made it to Charlotte via Jordano’s in their new location out Rea Rd.  The Desigual style is perfect for this season’s print mania – if you love color but like a little edge to your outfit, check it out.  (The guys’ stuff from Desigual is great for a pop version of the preppy polo).  Jordano’s also stocks jeans by Joes, David Kahn, Taverniti with Hudson coming soon, and they’re one of the few Charlotte shops to carry Voom by Joy Han. Their new store is at 8440 Rea, in the “Cosmos” shopping center at Robinson Farm in Ballantyne.  Right next to the new Tasty-yo.  Yo.

No need to look further than East Blvd. for the PERFECT one-stop shop to buy the multitude of gifts we all need to get over the next 6 weeks…mother’s day, graduations, anniversaries, birthdays, bridesmaids’, showers, hostess gifts, etc. etc. etc.

Cottage Chic has something for everyone on your list.  And it is all fresh and cheerful and bright….these are happy presents.    Bedhead PJs, Jane Marvel beachbags and carryalls, travel accessories, baby gifts, beautiful gifts for the home or dorm, unique candles (even monogrammed candles).  Plus a well-edited selection of clothing and jewelry, and one of the nicest gift ideas around for Mother’s Day.

So, go on and brave East Blvd.  And bring your shopping list, but not your gold card…there are options for every budget here.   It’s easy to drive right by this little bungalow, but don’t.  You won’t be sorry you stopped in.
