One of our favorite parts of spring – besides warmer weather, the return of the Twins, and fresh flowers all around us – is the chance it gives us to clean out our closets! Because once you’ve rid yourself of that pilly sweater that should have been tossed three seasons ago, you’ll have even more space to fill it with the CRAVE-worthy items of the season. And in the spirit of renewal and rebirth, why not take some chances on your wardrobe selections by picking out something you ordinarily wouldn’t? Try out a new color or different style of jeans; add some fun patterns (polka-dots and florals will be big) or mix up your accessories with some loud statement pieces. Our lovely metropolis has a bevy of boutiques to provide you with the inspiration you’ll CRAVE to complete your new spring look.
If there weren’t already a dozen reasons to visit the historic Cathedral Hill neighborhood in St. Paul, Karma (867 Grand Ave.) is another. Housing an eclectic mix of designers, the store carries heels, handbags, and everything in between. Made for “the modern bohemian”, Karma is both chic and laid-back, but altogether unique.
A long, long time ago, the Twin Cities fashionista would have had to travel long distances to get their designer fix before the season’s end. Now, they go to OPM Boutique (3700 Grand Way). With top designers like Diane von Furstenberg and Alexander McQueen, OPM is not shy about its fashion addiction. But the boutique also carries designers that will cover a range of price points. If you’re curious about the fabulous world of luxury fashion, consider OPM Boutique your gateway spot.
It’s no coincidence this boutique calls itself Covered (1201 Lagoon Ave.), because when it comes to finding you the most flattering pair of jeans in the city, that’s exactly what they’ll do. Located in the heart of Uptown near Lake Calhoun, the shop matches the neighborhood’s laid-back feel to a T. Stop in for a visit, and get yourself fitted; or call ahead to arrange a private shopping party for any type of occasion.
