Simply Marvelous

Fabutique Boutique

Some boutiques are like gazpacho: refreshing, chic, and never gonna fill you up. Others are more like liver and onions: If you hear one more time about how “good” they are for you, you’re going to, well, ya know.

Thankfully, new Fabutique is downright comfort food good.

The sunny space is an extension of the adjoining spa, Fabu, and there’s not a smidge of pretense about the place. Pedestal tables are stacked with cheeky retro serving trays, graphic print totes, and It Jeans, while basics like Canadian tees line Me(el), breezy Voxx dresses, and local jewelry by Becka Cowan round out the mix.

Oh, and there’s an expanded spa lounge/retail space that carries all sorts of lipgloss and hard-to-find scents like rosewater.

So glad they made room for seconds.

Fabutique, 335 West Ponce de Leon Avenue, Decatur (404-377-6363).
