  • Home Sweet Home

    With the winter weather finally relenting to the lush Spring textures we've so dearly missed, your thoughts may first jump to revising your wardrobe. A necessary effort to be sure, but have you considered redressing your house as well? As the materialistic embodiment of your personality and comfort zone, your home should reflect the changing seasons just as much as your closet! While home décor shopping can be a daunting task, fear not! Boutique Blondie has searched the city once again, and found the trendy, chic Westside of Midtown to be a haven for the hottest pieces and coolest lighting, without the high-pressure, commission-driven drama.

    For contemporary and modern furnishings, check out:

    Bungalow Classic - this vast selection of upholstery, antiques, case goods and more brings a fresh and comfortable yet stylish twist to your home.

    Eco Emporium - the city's premier eco-friendly home goods store proves that green is the new black! Providing only top-quality, "organic, recycled, and fair trade" products, your eco-lifestyle just got a little more stylish.

    No Más Productions - combining authentic artisan pieces with a knack for modern color and patterns, this shop offers a delightful mix of Old World sensibilities and enticing, contemporary textures.

  • Freaky Chic!

    Whether your first impulse is to gasp "Eek!" or squeal "Chic!", there's no denying the dynamic persona of Little Five Points. While you could spend nights on end wandering about the community and still discover something new, Boutique Blondie has rounded up the a few of the best of L5P's quirky-cool shops.

    Vortex - While most visitors remark on the delectable menu and sleek skeletal décor, it's the attitude and ambiance that keeps locals coming back for more. As a self-lauded "Idiot-Free Zone", the Vortex keeps a strict "86 Policy", making this bar and grill a haven from the dinner-rush divas.

    Junkman's Daughter - A favorite mainstay, this iconic shop offers a trove of alternative treasures. Of particular interest is the fully-stocked tobacco shop and red high-heeled staircase. You'll also find fashions for both guys and gals, unusual gifts, housewares that demand a double-take and of course, tons of tchotchkes, cult classic novels and collectibles.

    Bazaar Shopping Mall - Something of an indoor flea market occupied by a band of independent vendors, this spot is rife with people watching and unique wares. Artists, tradesmen and salesmen line the walls, offering a mega-watt, colorful display of textiles, body products and jewelry, as well as elusive dvds, books and clothing.

    Pin Up Girl Cosmetics - "Specializing in the art of Pretty", this L5P original can now be found just a couple of miles south in Grant Park. From a funky Girl's Night Out package to the full-on calendar shoot, Pin Up Girl Cosmetics offers hair styling, makeup applications and wardrobe options for every budget. Once you've unleashed your inner Vargas vixen, skilled photographers are on hand to document the metamorphosis. Whether you're looking for a little self-esteem boost or that oh-so-memorable gift, drop in and strike a pose!
