Jun 14, 2016 | Susu

Decorating with White. Everyone’s favorite non-color, always classy, goes with everything, crisp, elegant, stylish….it’s just hard not to like a room decorated with lots of white, or better yet all-white. And it’s never more appealing than in the summer months, when you just crave the bright, airy, open, and light-filled in your home. White just works […]

Tips for shopping consignment from Charlotte store owners + Scoop discount

Jun 14, 2016 | scoop team

We all have that friend that always seems to find the best deals and loves to let us know about it. “Oh, this dress? Found it on the clearance rack for $20, marked down 80% plus I had a coupon” Most of us don’t have the time and energy to scour the stores looking for […]

Joe’s Doughs Flash Sales, Grand Opening & Top Donut Picks

Jun 14, 2016 | scoop team

Donuts might be one of my biggest weaknesses. I once ate 12 donuts in one sitting in college (not my finest moment). And the sad part is, I didn’t even really feel sick after. While I can’t do that every weekend, you get the point; I love donuts and I have no self control. So […]

Dressing To Keep Your Cool Even Though You are Over 45 (lol).

Jun 10, 2016 | scoop team

The number one reader request we receive at scoop is from Charlotte women asking for “age-appropriate” styles for women over 45-50 to shop. We get it (believe you me). It’s a touchy issue ’cause everygirl’s definition of age-appropriate is a little different. But for the most part, a 50 year old woman’s closet is where […]

Getting to Know Charlotte’s Grafitti and Street Art

Jun 8, 2016 | scoop team

One sure-fire way to feel like a total square is to write a post about local graffiti knowing zero, zilch, nada, Z-E-R-O about street art. I like art. I like Charlotte. And I love free stuff, so I should naturally know more about the highly accessible world of local public art, right? No such luck, […]
