With three locations in the Queen City, Belle Ville is the perfect locale for boutique quality styles at an affordable price. Remember that lovely beaded yellow top I have?

Yup, straight from Belle Ville at the Promenade. With their new location at the Epicentre, it is easier than even to do little lunch break shopping. Just be sure to hide the receipts from your hubby

Located in the funky Queen City neighborhood of Plaza-Midwood, Boris and Natasha carries a wide range of designs for all budgets and some great high-end designers not found elsewhere in the QC.

Consign by Design

Consign by Design is one of my favorite thrifting locales in the Queen City. Housed in, well, a house, in the beautiful Myers Park neighborhood, CBD is quaint and carries a large selection of used designer and name brand apparel at incredibly affordable prices. The owner is super friendly and helpful, and is always willing to help you find that perfect item.

Location: Myers Park, 739 Providence Road

Circa

Circa’s mantra is to be trendy and unique without being pricey, and they fit that bill ‘to a tee.’ Circa carries some of my favorite Bohemian style brands like Kensie, Free People and Tulle, so check them out!

Location: The Fountains at Ardrey Kell, 8145 Ardrey Kell

Civilian

Civilian, under the same ownership as Lotus Boutique, is a unique and affordable shopping destination in the ever popular SouthPark shopping district. From unique accessories to flirty party dresses, Civilian has it all. Since it is located right across from the movie theatre, I am always running in to check out their new selections while my hubby picks up the tickets and popcorn.

Century Vintage

Century Vintage is located in the heart of Plaza-Midwood and carries everything from clothing to vintage furniture and home decor. I can’t wait to check it out for some funky home decor in the new hizzie.

Home Goods

This one-stop decorating paradise is brought to you by the same people that blessed us with discount retailers TJ Maxx and Marshalls. Home Goods is always on the must-shop list when my mom comes into town, and I will be frequenting this locale even more to furnish our new home.

Location: 9876 Rea Road, Blakeney Shopping Center

HUE Studio

The Queen City is lucky enough to have one of only a handful of HUE Studio stores in the country, and let me tell you firsthand it is amazing. From tights in all shapes and sizes to apparel, the HUE Studio has it all. The associates are very helpful and attentive in helping find what you are looking for and more. For many years I have faithfully worn HUE tights, but always have a hard time finding the colors and sizes I want in department stores. HUE Studio is the best around! For those without a HUE Studio, HUE also offers a great selection on their website.

Location: Blakeney, 9830 Rea Road

Hong Kong Vintage

In my opinion, Hong Kong Vintage is one of the best stores in the Queen City for vintage pieces at affordable prices. Recently relocated to the heart of Plaza-Midwood on Central Avenue, Hong Kong Vintage offers a HUGE selection of vintage dresses, shoes, and household items and is worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood! For those not in the QC, Hong Kong Vintage also has an extensive online store.

Paper Skyscraper

I would venture to say PaperSkyscraper is one of my fave Queen City retailers. From the amazing Archipelago Botanicals products, to quirky gifts, and a plethora of Architecture and Fashion Design books, PaperSkyscraper has it all. Cooper and Tillman are also fans because of the wide selection of dog and cat toys and gifts. You are sure to be greeted by a smiling face and a warm welcome from one of the owners, so make sure to stop by. You won’t regret it!
