| - Nestled in NoDa, Vivian B boutique shines like a little penny. It's a small space but showcases some nice brands, very sweet service and fills a void of mid-range retail that (in my opinion) many neighborhoods are missing. For those who are driving here, I *think* you can park in the lot behind the store (I did), but be sure to read all the signs before doing so!
The Good: It's bright, it's airy, it's clean and you'll find a handful of great brands like Ali Ro, BCBG, Line and Dot, Voluspa candles and more. The style is modern with a bit of an edge - I spied pretty dresses, silk shorts, a few pairs of jeggings on the back wall and a bright, airy tops. Price points range from $50-$180 and the staff are quite friendly and laid back. They also offer wine and beer while you're walkin' around perusing the styles. Nice!
The Meh: They only carry 3 or 4 of one particular style - this is both good and bad. Good - only a couple of folks have that style, Bad - if your size is out of stock. I think they have room to add more styles, lines, and accessories, which would be much appreciated for those who really like selection (but I know how tough that is for a small shop to handle extra inventory).
Vivian B is definitely worth a stop if you're shoppin' around in NoDa!
