Recently I visited this accessory retail store located in a shopping T plaza. Believe it or not I’ve been going here for years to workout(LAFITNESS) or eat at Joes Crab shack(fell off long time ago) but I never made myself available to visit Charming Charlie’s. Well Tia greeted me with a warm welcome asking me if I needed anything in particular. She explained how the store was set up, they have medium sized tables of colored accessories each table color coordinated. They carry scarfs, watches, bag wear of your color, sunglasses, perfumes, hair accessories, some shoes/clothes, rings, earrings, and necklaces. This place is huge, neatly organized, clean, well lit, and inexpensive. Oh I fell to mention they have two dressing rooms! After being in here for 35 – 40 min, Tia stopped by with a basket for me to place my items inside which was very thoughtful. I actually enjoyed going here versus the mall. Don’t get me wrong, this plaza is packed/mobbed with big/little people on Saturdays and Sundays. Charming Charlie’s was worth the visit and yes I will return in the near future.

It’s really nice! But I get so overwhelmed when shopping here primarily because I want to purchase almost everything in the store!

This store gives me joy like hot cocoa on a snowy day! It is a Skittles explosion of costume jewelry. The staff is forever friendly too! I go straight to the clearance section. I never fail to find something I like. The have everything from busines to fun to wedding jewelry, as well as purses, scarves, glasses, phone cases and more. This store is for women age 8 – 80!

Your bank account will suffer in this store. If you are as much of an accessory queen as I am, this is the place for you! All jewlery, bags, and articles of clothing are grouped by color. You can get the same necklace or bracelet in like 6 different colors. There’s also a separate section for shoes and super dressy jewels. Everytime I step in this place I am bound to spend at least $ 75 – 100. Their quality is not the greatest but I take care of my stuff, so therefore I usually don’t have too much of it break or tarnish.

Cheap crap. Falls apart, color rubs off just another crap version of Claire’s. Trendy I’ll say that if you need something specific for an event and don’t want to spend a lot this is a great spot but otherwise go to the mall.

I have been to this store on several occasions and usually end up walking out with something. I recently bought a peasant type shirt which got a hole in the seam after one wash… easily fixable but still a little disheartening. I also recently purchased a dress which was cute. The main issue with this store is the lack of fitting rooms; there’s only one fitting room and I felt very rushed to try things on with three people waiting outside the door. I understand that it’s more of an accessory shop, but they do have a good amount of clothes and should offer a few more dressing rooms.

I ADORE Charming Charlies. I mean, it’s just an amazing store. Everything is color coded. It’s perfect for Type A personalities like me. You can either go straight to the color you want(which never happens) or take a few hours to browse all the colors(which always happens). So many shiny things!!! I appreciate how they not only have jewlery, but purses, scarves, bags, sunglasses, headbands, clothing and more. It’s really nice to be able to put an entire outfit together in one store. I will say the prices are higher than I would like but I guess it’s comparable to other stores that sell similar things. Their statement necklaces are quite nice. I like their clearance section a lot. They are often 50% off. Sometimes they have Buy 1 Get 1 Free-that is when you should go to restock your stash. Ample parking in the lot out in front. Lots of other stores in the surrounding area so you can have lunch and shop back to back. Their rewards club is eh. 10 points for every $ 1 but you only get rewards when you reach 1000 reward points and points expire within 3 months. Anyways, it is my go-to place when I am looking for a specific type or piece of accessory. =) Beware, you will always buy more than what you anticipated!

Nice location. Not much variety, though. Great accessories. I love some of their handbags and cute wallets!

Great selection of playful clothes, jewelry and knick-knacks! A good store to shop for gifts and a few, fun personal items. There were a few, cute surprises tucked away near the register :-) I would say that there is a little bit of everything. Enough to appeal to all types of girls ;-)

Eh. On the surface, there is a large selection of jewelry, accessories and clothes. When you look deeper, there’s not much that’s impressive about this place. The accessories/jewelry are overpriced in my opinion. I bought a bracelet that is basically just a few beads on string and it was $ 8. It got tarnished and crappy looking after 3 days of wear. Maybe it was just a one-off bad piece, but I doubt it.

If you need any type of accessory. this is the place to go! All the jewelry is color coordinated so it’s easy to find. The prices are fantastic for trendy necklaces, earrings, scarves, etc. They have something for everyone! A must see!!!

I absolutely adore this little boutique. I’m a big fan of the way the store is laid out according to color. It helps make shopping for your accessories a lot easier. They have everything — rings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces, headbands, pearls, gems, watches, handbags, scarves and limited clothing. You name it, and they probably sell it. Their prices are incredibly reasonable. I bought a purple beaded statement necklace for $ 13 incl. tax. The lowest price is $ 7.95(unless something is clearance) and they go up from there. All the jewelry I saw didn’t go over $ 20.
