Sweet new shops: Swank and Lexie & Jane Posted 2/25/2010 5:41:00 PMTwo boutiques have opened in Buckhead in the past week:
Lexie and Jane, located in a cozy cottage on East Paces Ferry, is all about taking you from a lounge-y Saturday afternoon to a classy Saturday night. You'll find super-soft tees and flannels as well as cocktail dresses by Shoshanna and denim by Habitual and Genetic. Owner Rebecca McWaters was raised on St. Simon's and lived in New York (Lexie & Jane is a salute to Lexington Avenue and Jane Street) and loves to surf, and her selection reflects all these things. 516 East Paces Ferry Road, 404-343-3194
Swank, which has a location is in Birmingham's tony Mountain Brook Village, is all about the hard-to-find but totally fashion-forward labels: Mara Hoffman, Rozae Nichols, Vivienne Westwood, Vivienne Tam, footwear by Barbara Bui. Prices sometimes crest four figures, but owner Emily Dees Boulden, a former Saks buyer, sprinkles in affordable pieces, too (spotted a very chic boyfriend blazer for $130). Love the jewelry by House of Harlow, Nicole Richie's brand. The Shops Around Lenox, 3400 Around Lenox Drive, Suite 215, 404-231-4114
Also, both owners happen to be gorgeous. And great clothes? Some people have all the luck.
Look out for "Hot Shop" profiles of both stores in upcoming issues of Atlanta magazine!
