Festivity in Virginia Highlands & Buckhead ordered my handmade jewelry at a trade show in NYC in Jan. 07. They rec’d all $529 of my merchandise and have not paid me. I have gotten the run around and have been told several times the check was on its way. After 2 times of that story, I stopped believing it. I have left SEVERAL messages for the BUYER and nobody returns my phone calls. AT this point, I feel like they purposely stole from me. It would be as simple as them providing a credit card # to pay for their order that was rc’d 1/26/07, but they are avoiding me. I am a Dallas, TX based jewelry designer, this store was my first store in ATlanta, GA and I am so disappointed at this experience. If anyone knows the Owner or Mgr. of this store, they should tell them that this was posted. Theft is a crime, and Festivity in Virginia Highlands/Buckhead stole from me, an artisan who is just trying to make a living doing what i love. My website is http://www.sonyarenee.com Thanks.

Also, don’t forget Philene’s Basement! It’s along the lines of Loehmans (which is also great). All the same designer brands as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Sachs, etc., but low prices!

There is a great boutique in Morningside/Virginia Highlands area called The Fickle Manor. They offer name brands (French Connection, Alice and Trixie, Blu Cult) plus up and coming designers (Yuka, Eva Franco, 2 B Real) in lots of price points. The jewelry selection is really great too!

The North Georgia Premium Outlets aren’t exactly in Atlanta- they’re up Highway 400, but they have everything and cheap!

Bluegenes is a fabu store, is pricey, but always has a good sale. shopbluegenes.com-Plus, great place for a splurge. There’s also Luna, which is a cute shop on Peachtree for the latest and greatest tops and jeans. For bargains, go to the Brass Plum at Nordstroms at Phipps. Juniors sections, always has cute trendy items. Also, Barneys Coop is new at Phipps.

Tiffany-
I agree about the local shops, which is why I asked for the opinions of folks who live in ATL year around. I’ve heard alot about fabrik, but haven’t had a chance to visit the store yet. If any readers have a scoop on the store, I would love to hear more about it.

the two best stores in atlanta? blue genes and fabrik. blue genes specializes in designer denim for any and every body type. it’s co- owned by sisters, hence the wordplay. budget fashionistas should especially love fabrik seeing as how almost everything there is less than $150. it’s got a manhattan feel without the prices. i think it is really important that when you feature a city, you support the locally owned shops as opposed to a mall, because most mall stores are corporately owned and headquartered somewhere else. even the two malls featured, lenox and phipps are owned by a property group (simon, i think), a bunch of number crunching businessmen. no, to get the true feel of the city, you’ve got to visit the locals. when in rome…

I have to agree with some of the comments above - Virginia Highlands has GREAT shopping! Mitzi & Ramano, Dakota J, Festivity, Bill Hallman and so many more…not to mention the perfect place to grab a bite to keep up your retail stamina while people watching. It’s such a charming area and there’s no better time to visit than the Spring!

Thanks Kim for the post.. I encourage, welcome, want other budget fashionistas to post their favorite local stores in our guides (mostly for selfish reasons… I actually stop by your recommendations when I’m in town).

I live in Atlanta, and by far my favorite bargain store is Loehmans! But you can always shop Loehmans online, as well.

Sadly you omitted the Virginia Highlands, a GREAT shopping area. And yeah, no one in Atlanta goes to Underground, um are there even stores there?

Furthermore, there are so many great little restaurants and bars in Buckhead and Virginia Highlands that I would never recommend the Cheesecake Factory - blech! Their food isn’t even good and it is a chain!

Little Five Points also has a lot of great little stores, and there is a good vintage store in Candler Park, on McLendon Ave, called “Frock of Ages”

Honestly, if you think Phipps Plaza is the best place in Atlanta to shop you need to come back through :P.
