No this is not the nature blog. This week I’m writing about body shapes or should I say our opinion of our shapes (or lack thereof). We hear a lot of sighs and screams from our fitting rooms when it comes to our customers commenting on their body shapes. We all know that our “shape” does not define who we are. It’s what is inside us, our heart and soul that makes us the beautiful women we are. WE hope to see you soon…whatever shape you’re in. We’ll listen to you whimper and whine, and we’ll also do our very best to make you look and feel your very best.
Come see us soon. Don’t forget our Wine, Cheese and Retail Therapy Fridays from 4pm to 7pm. It’s the best way to end your week or begin your weekend.
In the meantime,
Be Happy and Be Smitten!

Well, in my mind this week marks the official end of summer. My children go back to school and I start gearing up for the final push of the retail year. I like to reflect on my summer’s activities about this time of year. This summer, I traveled a little and worked A LOT. Usually that combination would have left me feeling a little blue, as though I didn’t do enough. This summer is different however, I’m in a new place, I love my store which in turn is my work. For those of you that shop with me I hope it doesn’t appear that I am “working” when you visit me, because it isn’t. This store is my love and I enjoy being in it every minute. My staff and I try to make your shopping experience…just that… an experience. So while my summer may not have been filled with beach trips and european travel, it was filled with one amazing trip with a wonderful friend, and a lot of work in a wonderful place.
We hope you plan to visit us in our “wonderful place” soon. Don’t forget our Friday afternoon Wine, Cheese and Retail Therapy 4pm to 7pm. It’s the best way to end your week or begin your weekend.
In the meantime,
Be Happy and Be Smitten!

How many times have you heard that or thought it these past few days? As I write this it is raining and I hope the 20 degree drop in temperature is right behind it. The Duke students return to Durham this week. Whether you are a Duke fan or not…having these young people in town is like an energy bar to Durham. Yes there’s more traffic, yes many of them are Yankees and drive like one (but hey the author of this post is a Yankee so we’re not all that bad!)
We have a lot happening at Smitten too…we have a wonderful give away with no purchase necessary, all you have to do is come see us and get a really cute Smitten back pack. We have several promotions in the works. We’re planning a great Pandora promotion in September (stay tuned for the details)
We do hope to see you soon…don’t forget our Friday afternoon Wine, Cheese and Retail therapy…from 4pm to 7pm. It’s the best way to end your week or begin your weekend!
In the meantime,
Be Happy and Be Smitten!

I’m back in town and staying put for a while! NYC was alive with all the buzzings of the soon to be here fall season. It feels good to be home and in one place for a while. Even my children are happy to see me! The students will be in town next week and everyone else starts school in a few short weeks. We are ready…ready for fall, ready for the excitement the second half of the year brings to Smitten. The store is brimming with this season’s new colors and styles. The accessories purchased in NYC have arrived and are on the floor in all their beauty.
We hope you visit us soon. Don’t forget our Wine, Cheese and Retail Therapy … Friday afternoon 4 pm to 7pm. This has become an event we look forward to each week. If you haven’t joined us for one …plan to do so soon! It’s the best way to end your week or begin your weekend.
In the meantime…
Be Happy and Be Smitten
