Pretty Girl
Smak Parlour
Delectably girly with an edge is how I would describe Smak Parlour. The boutique and their clothing remind me of the ever popular (and my favorite) No Doubt single “Just a Girl”. I envision the type of girl that wears their designs can hold her own, while looking completely adorable at the same time!
Open just under a year, yet another daring female duo decided to take a leap and open their own shop. Abby and Katie both have a love for fashion and it shows. Plus, they’re the sweetest ever, always enthusiastic about their clothes and what they do.
They make their clothing onsite, right in the back of the store, which is cool because you can sneak a peek at their inspiring workspace. It always feels good to leave with an eclectic, original piece and they’re creating new items all the time. This boutique sells lots of tanks, t-shirts, and everything in between. They take simple garments and tastefully add flair by combining sewn on details, different fabrics, or a mix of funky silk-screens, ribbon and lace to make it their own. I’m dying for a pair of their super cute black leg warmers with cherry details! Smak Parlour also carries unique shoes, jewelry, accessories and body products throughout the store.
Facing Market Street, they have a prime location in the heart of artistic Old City. The flirty decor compliments the clothing precisely. Chandeliers hang above, and different layers of paint and wallpaper strategically cover the walls. Wardrobes painted various shades of pink and original items are everywhere you turn. It’s the kind of place where I would love to accidentally be locked in overnight, a perfect place to have a slumber party with some girlfriends, trying on clothes, applying makeup and laughing the night away.
For the girl next door who doesn’t want to look just like the girl next door, stop in to Smak Parlour for a one of a kind design.
