After being closed for two days during Sandy, the Kennett Square boutique Chantilly Blue sent out an email to its customers offering a 20% "Cabin Fever" discount on one item. I'd been meaning to get in there anyway and help the economy, and this was all the incentive I needed.
What a great store! Beautiful clothes and unbeatable service. The owner, Lisa, knows her merchandise and her customers and has a great eye for what will look fantastic on each woman. She nixed one pair of jeans, pointing out they weren't as flattering as they could be, and called one black top "boring" as soon as she saw it on me. In 45 minutes I walked out of there with a new pair of jeans, a cozy Pink Lotus top and a festive silk top that I predict will get much use during the upcoming holiday season. So simple! Such fun!
Yes, online shopping is wonderfully convenient for basics, but Lisa's professionalism and pride make a strong argument for actually going into a brick-and-mortar local store.
