Saffron

 

Have you ever stopped in and checked out Saffron in Royal Oak Michigan? This amazing store is owned and operated by Marianne Petrus and sells some of the coolest clothing, jewelery, and accessories that a girl could dream of. 

A few friends and I stopped in for a movie style shopping spree montage last week and I think we fell fell in love. We tried on half of the store while hanging out with the owner, Marianne. She is one of the coolest ladies that I have met in a long time. Not only does she have a great store, but she has a great personality. It was really fun to hang out and have her help us shop.

Marianne opened the store about four years ago and only has one employee besides herself. So, if you go in to shop it is likely that you will see her there. She decorated the place herself and makes sure that when someone walks in, all of their needs are attended to. The prices are absolutely reasonable and you can find things here that you wont find anywhere else.

I bought an amazing necklace and my co-shoppers stocked up on some fall must haves, including ponchos, dresses, and the coolest pair of print leggings that I have ever seen anyone wear. There is a black lace dress that will be mine ass soon as I get my next paycheck. The store also carries belts, jewelry, purses, headbands, perfume, butter gloss, and more. It was refreshing to see a cool independent shop in Royal Oak that sold things that I would want to buy. It reminded me of why I used to love that city and gave me hope that it will return to the hip place that it used to be. 

Every girl I know needs to at least stop in to the store and see what it is all about. I say shop local whenever you can. I can't wait to go back and I wish that I would have visited sooner. Thanks for letting us play dress up, Marianne. We love you and we love Saffron!
