OC BOUTIQUE SHOPPING - Crossing the Orange Curtain

Today is the day we venture outside of our Orange County safe haven. That's right, Erin and I are road trippin' down to the far off land of San Diego to see what kind of boutiquing trouble we can get into. We welcome any recommendations on a good place to start, right now it is just us, the 5 Freeway and our uncanny ability to spot a boutique from a mile away.

Looking forward to sharing what we find with you next week!

OC BOUTIQUE SHOPPING: What to Wear on a Date!

By: April

So, one of our fave boutique owners spurred a debate on Facebook this week with the simple question..."jeans or dress on a first date?" Our Facebook fans and Twitter followers were pretty certain jeans were the way to a man's heart...but we thought we should break it down boutiquing style.

***WARNING: Take THIS QUIZ before reading on...or you will have NO idea what we are talking about!***

What to Wear on a Date:
based on what style "Letter" you are...

A: Aspiring Stylist

Go for your typical creative outfit, with a bit of chic sexiness. Keep it all a bit relaxed by basing your outfit on a simple tank and standout accessories. Leave the major fashion risks for a night out with the girls...they will appreciate the effort more:)

B: Best of the Best

Start with your best go to jeans and add a sexy fitted top that shows off your favorite peek of skin. A bold bag and sexy stiletto will grab the attention you want, and make you feel like a million bucks!

C: Celebrating Sexy

The overall consensus of our fans and followers was to save the true knock 'em dead sex appeal for a second date. So show off what you want by choosing a HOT shoe, fitted dress and leave the rest to his imagination.

D: Daring Dabbler

Your love for fun fashion will help you create a memorable look. A bold print dress and some sleek sandals are a perfect blend of feminine and fierce. Don't forget the statement necklace and bold clutch...it's a date, not the dentist:)

E: Everyday Ease

A night out comes along only once in a while...so don't blow your budget on a big night out ensemble. Truthfully, the hottest part of the date will probably be the adult conversation! But, show off a little more than normal with a cute and eye catching halter (with the necklace built in!), and add a higher heel to your jeans...that way your feet will remind you it IS a date!

Got a "What to Wear" fashion question?

Leave your fashion question in "comments" below and we will send it out to our fans and followers for their opinion. We will give you the most popular answer, plus our options for a great ensemble A-E!

Ladonna - Sexy, Sassy, Statement Stop

Huntington Beach, Orange County

Boutique Pique

by: Erin Hall @ Boutiquing™

April and I surprisingly stumbled upon Ladonna Boutique over a year ago while visiting Bella Tera outdoor mall in Huntington Beach, and we still rave about their treasure box of offerings to this day. To find a boutique as unique and eclectic as this in a mall is like putting on a jacket you haven't worn in a while and finding money in the pocket... you didn't expect it, but finding it makes your day! From clothing to accessories, Ladonna is a boutique you hunt and explore for hidden must haves. Brocade tapestry curtains, thick iron scroll fixtures, ornate frames, studs and sparkles...

Ladonna is dedicated to the girl who likes to standout.

Top priority at Ladonna, constantly filter in new and memorable lines that are edgy and sexy. They are stocked with perfect for party tops by Aziz, edgy Kimikal club dresses embellished with chains and stones, seductive and simple K. Allyn t-shirts and form fitting, body enhancing dresses from Maria Biana Nero (when you see how good these dresses fit, you won't even pay attention to the price tag). Find outfits suitable for a dinner date, weekend shopping or Vegas weekend, basically any situation where being noticed is the ultimate goal. Ladonna carries Karmel & Alden super soft vintage inspired denim, celebrity fave Dylan & George and IT jeans (their amazing fit is endorsed by Oprah). Lace intimates, blinged handbags and comfortable layering basics all line the walls of this small but abundant boutique.

Ladonna is a style knockout in the jewelry department. Hands down, one of the most rare offerings of one of kind jewelry you will find in Orange County. Like exploring a European art fair, you'll find cocktail size rock rings by Wendy Grant...bracelet, earring and necklace combinations of semi-precious stones, turquoise, citrine, gold, pearls and coins...bold and intricate authentic Vatican charm adornments from Virgins, Saints & Angels...and don't forget to check out their large selection of Liquid Metal thick silver jewelry always on hand. My personal favorite, a local designer who travels France in search of vintage heirloom pieces and re purposes them to create necklaces and bracelets that will stun and shine in even the dullest of moments. Keep in mind there are no two alike, so don't pass up a piece you love at Ladonna because guaranteed it will be gone when you go back to pick it up.

Ask for the manager Kristina and tell her Erin from Boutiquing.com sent you in. Kristina knows her lines and is quick to read your needs and offer a solution that will have you coming back for more.

OC BOUTIQUE SHOPPING: Blue Eyed Girl's New Boutique

Blue Eyed Girl
Doors are open...check out their new location!

Just when you thought things couldn't get any better, Blue Eyed Girl goes and opens a bigger, better and even more beautiful boutique in San Juan Capistrano. Moving several doors down from their original SJC location, Blue Eyed Girl has more than doubled in size and is now calling the visible corner spot their new home in Mirabella Plaza.

Lets put aside just for a moment their stellar selection of clothing, jewelry and accessories, if you've never been in Blue Eyed Girl you HAVE to stop by just to see the stunning decor and eclectic environment owner Dawn has created. Aged hard wood plank floors, rustic and rough brick walls, brocade covered foot stools, lingerie draped over vintage metal wash boards and parlor room chandeliers...every inch of this spacious boutique is a masterpiece in memorable merchandising. If the interior of Dawn's house is anything like her boutiques, I think I'd pass out from sheer exhilaration ;)

Beyond the vivacious visual experience you get just walking in and through this boutique, check out PRVCY Premium Denim, an absolutely fabulous fit and style. PRVCY jeans are all the rage in Hollywood and their design team includes a former designer from True Religion. Also new to Blue Eyed Girl is Current/Elliott jeans, a breathe of fresh air for classic American denim with vintage style and a timeless twist. Other Blue Eyed Girl must haves include Free People, Gypsy 05, Michelle Jonas, Velvet, Michael Stars, James Perse, Bishop of Seventh and much, much more.

Thanks to more space, Blue Eyed Girl has created an entire back room to SALE merchandise. Those of you who regularly frequent Anthropologie's massive sale rooms will instantly fall in love with this boutiques discounted deals.

Blue Eyed Girl has an extensive and exotic collection of body products, lotions, perfumes and candles. Check out Kai Hawaiian scented candles, Leila Lou essential oil perfume, Twist & Pout Lip Balm (little ornately decorated balls of lip love, their easy to find in your purse and make a perfect gift at $9 a pop) What did I walk out with?..."Milk" lotion by K. Hall, it makes me want to sit in a corner and smell my arm all day...LOL!...the scent reminds me of the beach as a child, a hint of coconut and under tones of sun kissed warmth.

Blue Eyed Girl is one of those boutiques that leaves an impression in so many ways. The clothes, the necklaces, the belts, the shoes and the customer service is always top notch. The boutique girls here are ready to serve, ready to help and ready to make your boutiquing experience a day of delight. So plan a date with your girlfriends and head to Mirabella Plaza, grab a Fried Green Tomato BLT or Pecan Crusted Catfish from the new restaurant "South" Authentic Southern Kitchen and then head over to Blue Eyed Girl boutique for some serious boutiquing dessert.
