Greer’s Pick of the Week

Luscious Lip Enhancers by Velana K
Velana K gloss formula is unique. It is packed with vitamins A and C and contains a golden seaweed mixture which moisturizes and protects against photo aging. The marine based filling spheres are infused throughout the gloss, promoting collagen production. Shea butter also helps protect against dehydration and other climatic influences.

INDIVIDUAL TASTES!

Want to find casual weekend wear, funky jewelry, cool belts and unique bags that you won't see in other boutiques?

You'll want to check out Chantal & Vicki Shoppe in Costa Mesa. And just for Greer's OC subscribers, print out this Daily Dose and receive 10% off purchases through August!

Owner and designer Vicki Peterson seeks out different brands that appeal to her; she's not loyal to any particular designer. (Vicki says all too many times the more popular a designer becomes, the less she likes it.)

Chantel & Vicki Shoppe has developed a loyal following among hip moms. Vicki says she buys for women who actually like to eat -- you'll find no zeros or twos here.

Choose from dresses, hip tees, Go Jeans, Solids by Great Wall of China, Love Heals, a hippie jewelry line out of Ojai, and Vicki's own line: Lovelorn printed embroidered tees with unique sayings, jewels, hoodies and sweats.

And Vicki carries designer handmade reading glasses by Eye Bobs. The line of fun and funky reading glasses are available in an array of colors.

Open 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. 432 East 17th Street in Costa Mesa. 949.646.7506.
