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 […]

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 […]
