Since Time Magazine and Travel + Leisure proclaimed Charleston as the City with the most beautiful people in the U.S., I’ve been wondering what makes us so attractive. One possibility is our access to King Street, where beautiful people can be seen embellishing what nature bestowed, not to mention making a lot of wonderful wardrobe choices from chapeau to stiletto.
In local boutiques we have some of the best and most hospitable professionals to advise and direct us, buyers constantly watching the market for change, and international connections to the latest and most beautiful of everything.
Cos Bar, Blue Mercury and Stella Nova each offer a different perspective and product line and if you’re a beauty junkie, you’ve checked them all out. People head for Cos Bar for many reasons, not the least of which is that rare and valuable downtown commodity, free parking. Pop in, pick up what will keep your face on the Most Beautiful List and leave with something that will make you feel even better--more time. But they also have a friendly staff with great advice, your personal history and buying preferences at hand and real time demos. Cos Bar recently added a neat little Spa in the back where you can find all sorts of luxurious services.
