This is a spectacular "hole in the wall" that easily rivals heavy hitter chains such as Chico's, Talbots, JC Penny, etc. No exaggeration! My Queen and I had to drop off our vehicle at the Mavis auto station/shop located on the opposite end of the business plaza this humble boutique calls home. We had a couple of hours to kill so after having some lunch we decided to do some shopping and I felt my Lady was overdue for some updates and upgrades to her wardrobe. Thus, I suggested we check out this joint that we've passed multiple times before and never had time to stop in and browse. That was the best suggestion a man could've made for a woman in recent history, I'm still patting myself on the back for it 😜 This shop is so neat and tidy with appropriately arranged decor that's befitting of Baby Bear and Goldilocks of the timeless children's classic as everything is not too much, not too little, it's all just right! Cleanliness and organization are an immediate A Plus, no contest. There is no odor of stale and aged construction materials or outdated inventory which is often the case with small privately owned shops of this category. The atmosphere is peaceful, serene, and soothing going hand in hand with vaguely evident scents of potpourri or perhaps aromatic candles that were extinguished hours before our visit. Again, the smell wasn't too much and overpowering, nor was it negligible, it was enough to make each breath a subconscious pleasure without a perpetual need to find the source of the fragrance avoiding interruption of a naturally smooth browsing/shopping experience. Inventory is abundant and diverse. There is certainly something for every lady to consider bringing home without having to consult her special someone or the family budget as prices were VERY fair at most. More often than not, I expected to see three digit price tags on various items that although blatantly designed for specific breeds of women who favor flash over casual, I was off by more than enough to wonder if we had stumbled in during a clearance sale. I believe I captured enough merchandise variety and close-up shots of price tags to state my case with conviction, please feel free to get a vivid idea of what you will be pursuing upon your visit ahead of time, the pleasure is all mine. Whether you are in the market for apparel, accessories, decorations, novelties, or early Christmas gift ideas, this place has you covered. They have multiple changing rooms available which are surprisingly spacious given the square footage overall. These rooms are nicer and larger than the ones featured in large triple A rated department stores. I also happened to notice gift cards available by the register for those considering my previously mentioned Christmas shopping idea. We had a wonderful time in general and the lovely lady running the show that day was an absolute sweetheart, very knowledgeable and insightful. We spent $60 and some change at the end of our visit, leaving the shop with a couple of new fashionably exotic jeweled over-belts for my Queen's armoire and a pair of obnoxiously wide two-tone purple/clear lens black rimmed sunglasses for yours truly(yes I know they are made for ladies, but women have the sexiest sunglasses on Earth and the right type of confident man of European descent aka "me" can rock certain types with style and purpose, prove me wrong😎). In conclusion, Faded Lace Boutique is a small powerhouse in a market saturated by the likes of massive outlet stores competing for the number one spot when this neatly organized and properly equipped underdog comes in and smokes the competition with relative ease and an unparalleled price to quality ratio offering a glamorous one-stop destination for all walks of life seeking gifts for self and/or others this upcoming holiday season and beyond. Swing by at your leisure and tell them Sark sent you, you can thank me later. Happy hunting, ladies and gentlemen, and as always, stay forever...
