Fabulous Affairs (Uptown Normal Series)

window front at Fabulous Affairs, Normal, IL

First, I have to apologize for the terrible glare on most of these photos. My photography isn't exactly up to snuff and on top of that this afternoon wasn't a great time to try to get some great pics.

But this is Fabulous Affairs' front window from Uptown Normal, Illinois! An amazingly cutesy store with all kinds of stationery, jewelry, stuff for wedding planning, and a little bit of apothecary goods. That being said, their windows did the interior little justice. It was so cold while I was out snapping shots so I went inside most stores -this one included- and I'm glad I did because you wouldn't know from the lackluster window display how awesome their merchandise is! The window includes a low table with cake plates of varying heights on it, and hanging paper heart chains. I wouldn't advise they take anything away from what they have going on, only add to it. Don't get me wrong, less can be more, but it was difficult to see this and that was frustrating. More height so the plates are more visible above the pane would have been ideal, something on the plates to add interest, and the greenery or florals on the table instead of the floor would have been more eye catching.

See how cute the inside is? This triangular display of their Kate Spade goods was really charming and ~fabulous~.
