It’s been awhile since you’ve heard from me, but I figured it was time to update everyone on how happy I am in my new home, and with my lovely owner Amy Vigilante! After a very enjoyable stay at Quince, I said goodbye to my friend Sharon (the owner) and a chauffeur picked me up [...]

I’ve had the best time for the past six weeks, but have finally arrived at my last destination! The warehouse district in Downtown Cville is home to the fashionable Quince, and I must say that I look pretty cozy among all these great home furnishings…Sharon Manering has used her expert eye to bring eclectic, yet functional finds to Charlottesville residents, [...]

Now that I’ve had my coffee fix, I’m all revved up for the last leg of my Cville tour! This week I’m at novel.,a unique boutique in the Barracks Road Shopping Center. I’m just a few feet away from where I began my trip at Scarpa– it’s crazy to think how much travelling I’ve done. The [...]

I arrived today at  l’étoile (on West Main, across from the Charlottesville Amtrak station), and I definitely came to the right place to relax and take a load off my stand… There are so many yummy French-inspired [...]

Happy Wednesday everyone! My quick trip over to Ragged Mountain Running Shop today made me jealous that I couldn’t spend more time outdoors…If anyone wants to come over and take me for a quick jog that would be awesome. Or maybe just come back and tell me how it was… I’ve never seen so many [...]

What a beautful Spring day to start my trip–and luckily I’ve arrived at Scarpa (in the Barracks Road Shopping Center) where I can watch people come buy shoes for the warmer weather! I’ve noticed some trends from my perch here in the store; my personal favorite (if I wore shoes) is the combination of neutrals and dark green, but [...]
