La Corsetiere

My FAVORITE "intimates" store EVER!! Ok, so I thought I knew what size bra I wore. Duh. Right? WRONG!! I had no idea that I'd been wearing the wrong size bra, but I knew the ones that I had were not that comfortable. After spending a short time with Louise Miglio (owner of La Corsetiere) my bra size increased, my comfort increased, and my wallet did not decrease as much as I thought it would. YEAH!! I bought two bras (on my first visit) and went home and threw out 20 "bad ones". I will never buy a bra from anyone else. THANK YOU Louise!

Read the following write up in STRUT MAGAZINE on La Corsetiere's shapers.

Shapewear doesn't just shrink your waist and hips by inches, it also can help you control your shape. For instance, maybe you love your curves, but you'd like a tighter midsection. Or maybe you just need your clothes to lie smoothly over a dress or skirt. Shapewear can help you get the look you want.

The shapewear today is not like your old-fashioned girdle, says Louise Miglio. Today's shapewear is made of a microfiber material that's comfortable, and smoothes and slims from just below the bust down through the waist and thighs.

Miglio recommends Curves by Berkshire, which retails for $15. It's lightweight, so you can comfortably wear it under white pants in the summer, and it doesn't roll or cut into you like other shapers. She also recommends the High Waisted Shaper by Sophie (above), which retails for $45. This shaper is made of a much thicker material. It actually cinches you in a whole inch, and it comes in many different lengths and styles.

URBAN BLUES

AS THE PAGE TURNS: Bookstore, gallery & Cafe. One of the newest stores in town, now open in the courtyard at the old church. Here is a little more about who they are:

"We are an independent bookseller who wants to stimulate your senses with poetry, novels, nonfiction, art, and conversation. We have local and international authors and artists to show both ends of the spectrum. We want to attract the parents looking for a good book for their child and for themselves.

We showcase books for a month and art for 2 months. These books will be one each of a local and national author. You never know when one of our local authors will become the next nationally known celebrity. A brief synopsis is given of the book and the author."

Check it out and read a book!

Rock on Main - This cool and comfortable clothing store, owned by Colleen (formerly from Caruso Caruso in B'ham), serves both men and women. What I love most about this store is their ability to size you up when you walk in the store. NOT IN A BAD WAY... in a very very good way! Colleen can look right at you and know what will look good on you and what won't. She's always right on the mark! I wish I could buy all of her choices for me! 248-348-3344

Pear-aphernalia

Owned by friends Pat and Lori, this warm store carries not only home goods, decorations and seasonal items, but also personal products such as: milled soaps, body washes, hand creams and salts from Crabtree and Evelyn. You'll find gifts for every season and every reason here. Their reasonable prices really surprised me. Big bang for the buck and something unique for that special gift.

THE MOON & ME

It's like walking into a baby dream. This tiny little store (like an alley with yummy fabrics and lots of mommy "aw's") has the sweetest little baby delights you've every laid your eyes on. You'll want to touch everything. It almost makes me want another baby.(just kidding)

MORE FAVORITES
FOOD
Rebeccas - This neighborhood family restaurant and icecream parlor is a favorite spot for the locals and people visiting Northville. The staff is friendly, helpful, and down home. (With trains running around the ceiling of the restaurant and a giant fish tank to delight the little ones.) I love the sweet potato fries (sauce on the side for me please), the turkey bacon wrap, and the organic spinach omelet. Those are my fav's. Oh wait a minute, I can't forget her loaded oatmeal! Dang that is good! And Rebecca's Dad's special Spaghetti with meat sauce on Tuesdays! YUMMY!



Tuscan Cafe - Owned by Terri and Will (mother/son team) this local hang out coffee shop feels like a hanging with the neighbors - if your neighbor makes great coffee, smoothies, and the best darn sandwiches in town, that is. The #3 sandwich and the BLT are my favorites and you have to try my favorite cookie the Tuille. (tweele) Good teas, breads, and cakes too.
