Boutique Pique
By: Erin Hall @ Boutiquing
Truth be told I felt a bit guilty as April and I were boutiquing in La Jolla and I sheepishly asked "Can we stop in Nicole Miller real quick??" I know, I know, how could I shop a "corporate retail giant" (insert *gasp!*) when I'm supposed to be boutiquing. I'll tell you why, Nicole Miller is one of the top names on my list of mating calls and the thought of an entire store dedicated to the world's best fitting dresses perfectly designed for accentuating and enhancing a woman's curves had my mind whirling with wonder. (If you're not familiar with Nicole Miller, think Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Jessica Simpson and all things curvaceous couture) After April obiliged my request we stealth-fully crossed the street and quickly slid in the door of Nicole Miller before any dedicated Boutiquing fans saw us ;) Delicious derrière designed dresses dazzled in bright gem stone hues, point perfect pencil skirts with rooshing in all the right spots and a foot fetish flock of sandals, platforms and sexy strappy heels sat waiting for us to swoon with sweet delight.
After drooling, petting and sighing with affection through the racks of stoic and sizzling hot selections, we found a counter full of jewelry. I didn't know Nicole Miller made jewelry?! The boutiquing euphoria overflowed as owner Stephanie explained that not all Nicole Miller stores are corporate, including her own which is an independently owned boutique. As long as the boutique is filled with a majority of Nicole Miller signature pieces, this boutique can carry other designers AND my personal favorite, be listed on Boutiquing.com!!!
Even higher on my list of mating calls than Nicole Miller is Customer Service. Although it seems to be a lost art and hard to come by these days, I have to say Stephanie at Nicole Miller deserves the queen crown for the category. A great shop girl knows, no matter how many times a customer has gone through the racks, she will always miss something and often times what looks horrible on a hanger, looks beautiful on the body. Shop girls...we WANT you to help us! Stephanie was warm, informative and she accurately suggested pieces that got April and I in the fitting room, is was shockingly refreshing to be serviced at such a superb level.
Nicole Miller La Jolla is a haven for heavenly jewelry lines including chic Hollywood favorite Sophia & Chloe. Inspired by the women in her Moroccan family, designer Nathalie Sherman has carried on the tradition of adorning each other with jewelry to mark special occasions in life with her luscious line of earrings, necklaces and bangle bracelets, each with a unique meaning (read more of the story HERE). Find classy crystal chandeliers infused with the color and texture from Moushart and gorgeous gold wire wrapped stone rings, chunky cocktail rings and must have chain necklaces from designer Double Happiness, both local San Diego designers.
Speaking of events, did you know Nicole Miller makes wedding dresses?! I didn't, but now I DO! Stunning, sweet, sexy and sultry, with so many styles your sure to capture the feeling of your dream day with absolute elegance. Nicole Miller La Jolla carries PRVCY jeans, a denim fave of Lauren Conrad, J. Lo, Jessica Alba and Miley Cyrus just to name a few. In addition to a great fit PRVCY donates 10% of their sales to various Breast Cancer Organizations year round, who doesn't like knowing their shopping dollars are supporting a great cause.
