Sales / Holiday Gift Ideas 2010 Annual holiday sale at Heroes this weekend
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 10:19 AM
Right now, my boyfriend is big into reading comics on his phone. The other day, he was perusing one at work (he's recently discovered The Walking Dead, because of the new TV show), and when his boss asked him what he was doing, he lied. Geeky and shameful? You bet. But I love him anyway.
If you've got a comic book lover in your life you need to buy a Christmas gift for (and no matter how geeky they are, you should do it anyway), you'll not want to miss this sale this weekend.
More information can be found here.

News Brought to you by the Ghost of Christmas Local
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 3:24 PM
Just discovered Queen City Gifts, a beta website for the savvy shopper who wants to get his or her holiday gifts from the local market.
They've also got a page for local deals. It's pretty sparse right now, but seeing as it's a pretty new site, I'm sure it'll be no time before the deals will be aplenty. (In fact, in the time I first started writing this post, another deal has been uploaded!)
Wondering who's behind the new site? The bottom of the site claims, "Brought to you by the Ghost of Christmas Local."

Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 10:33 AM
Maybe I'm just a woman who begged her boyfriend to get her pink suede boots for her birthday, but I just think you can't go wrong with buying the lady in your life (whether that be the significant other, mom sister, etc.) a nice pair of boots.
And the folks at Step By Sloan have an incredible selection. Click here to see photos of all that they've got available.

News Now open: Vivian B in NoDa
Posted By Lauren Blake on Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 9:54 AM
NoDa has been graced with another new retailer — and this time, it's shopping.
Kimberly Wilkinson looked around the area and thought NoDa needed a little something more in the shopping department. Two months after she had the idea, Vivian B, named after her grandmother, opened its doors. The chic boutique, located on the corner of 34th and Davidson, carries brands such as BCBG, Dolce Vita, Ali Ro (known for its flowy dresses) and Custo Barcelona (an artsy line for the creative souls of NoDa.) With both affordable and high-end lines, the boutique has something to suit everyone's style (and budget.)
Wilkinson hopes to cater not only to the neigborhood, but to all of Charlotte, with a cute place to buy a range of pieces — from casual wear and work attire to dresses for a night out on the town. Great winter coats, tweed skirts, a sequin "Kim Kardashian" inspired blazer, funky printed dresses and trendy stone and brass jewelry are just a few of the fabulous finds you'll come acrss at Vivian B.
It's only been a few weeks since the grand opening and Wilkinson isn't finished yet. She's planning on bringing in more lines and designers. Make sure to look out for Free People coming soon.
