Spring is in the air! I love this time of year. Flowers are blooming and it’s finally getting warm enough to visit the beautiful North Carolina coast. It’s also the time of year people start experimenting with their look and immersing themselves in the newest fashion trends.

People are always surprised to learn that Bailey’s offers a personal shopping service. Shh! don’t tell anyone but it’s one of my favorite things to do! I love helping our patrons find “the piece” they have envisioned. As a Fashion Buyer and Consultant at Bailey’s, I see all the latest trends before they hit the stores. Also, having three stores gives us three times more choices.

I just got back from New York City! I travel there twice a year to meet with our top designer brands. This trip, I focused on David Yurman’s Spring Collection. I love spending time at David Yurman’s office. It is so fashionable! It’s in SOHO and overlooks the Hudson River. David Yurman even has a personal Zen garden in his office. When you buy at Yurman you never know what to expect. This year for the men’s collection they re-created a SOHO loft in which they displayed the new pieces.
