Shop Talk Giveaway! Not Made in China

In the April issue of Charlotte Magazine  we featured local graphic designer Nikki Mueller who has been turning heads with her sassy Charlotte one-liners that she prints on buttons, magnets and bottle openers under the company name Not Made in China. Clearly, our readers are as enamored with her designs as we were, because the response to our story has been great! 

To keep the fun times rolling, we are giving away a cache of great Not Made in China swag, graciously donated by Nikki herself.  To win yourself a smattering of her sarcasm-laden goodies, all you have to do...

Reader Response: How do you manage your closet?



Having been raised by a serial pack-rat mom who has saved every nightgown, every formal dress, and every picture day outfit I ever wore as a child/tween, I have matured (rather rebelliously) into a Purger. Last night, I went on my

Reader Response: What to Wear to an Evening Wedding in May in the South?

Dear Shop Talk,

 I was invited as a date to a wedding in Camden, SC at the Carolina Cup fields. The wedding is May 2 at 5:30.  My date is in the wedding (so  he will be wearing a tux) but  he has no idea about the attire for the rest of us.  The bride's very brief wedding website states that the dress code is "Spring/Summer Formal."  From the 5:30pm start time, I take this to mean that I do not need a floor length dress.  However, Spring/Summer Formal sounds like something we had in middle school, and I have been away from the Carolinas for too long to know how this is going to play out so I humbly seek your advice.  Here are my big questions:  Do I have to wear color or can I wear...

Reader Response: Tights with Peep Toes

Yesterday we found this very good question in our inbox:

Is it okay to wear pantyhose/tights with peep toe pumps? I am asking because I am going to an evening wedding in Pittsburgh in two weeks and I'm wearing a knee length strapless black dress. I have a pair of nine west peep toes (the same color electric blue that's in the Chinese...

Reader Response: What is the best facial moisturizer for winter?



Howdy dear readers. Jenn here.  

I was just getting dressed (yes, it is nearly noon. I work at home. Hate me if you wish.) and putting on my makeup and I realized that I have a bruise on the inside of my left palm. Then I remembered why: 

I've been turning my beloved bottle of Bobbie Brown Protective Face Lotion with SPF 15 upside down and slamming it repeatedly into my hand for the last month with the hopes of extracting just one more silky...
