Shopping Side Notes
Red Velvet Vintage is a new boutique by CrazyBeautiful owner Eryka Smith. This new shop on South Main devotes its space to the pin-up style clothing and accessories that CrazyBeautiful once carried, adding in of course vintage clothing and jewelry. The shop is managed by vintage enthusiast and local musician Vera, who was featured in this recent style post by Alexandra Nicole. They both show off the chic items offered in this boutique.
Also during my visit, I immediately noticed this bustier that Eryka brought over from CrazyBeautiful since it had a bit of a vintage flair and the ability to look either vintage or modern depending on how it was styled.
CrazyBeautiful had been closed due to unfortunate robberies recently. Fans can now shop again as they open for a huge moving sale starting today until this Sunday. We wish them the best of luck finding their new location.
