The Cents of a Woman

NV-U Boutique Opens

If you could afford your accountant, pay your shrink — or at this rate, the occasional psychic IM — they’d all say the same thing: You’ve developed quite the shopping habit.

Nowhere better to stage an intervention than NV-U, the inviting new shop where owner (and former cult-followed, in-home boutique host) Nikki Vigilance strives to keep everything under a hundred bucks.

Call your sponsor — or don’t — to rave about what’s hanging from industrial pipes and terra cotta concrete fixtures throughout the store: knee-length Miss Me bubble jackets, bibbed Wish dresses. New remade jeans line Karmel & Alden (low-rise, flared leg) will keep buyer’s remorse at bay.

And that’s not just paying lip service.

NV-U Boutique, 465 Boulevard, Grant Park (404-624-3737).
