Valentine’s Date Night

Valentine’s Date Night

by | Feb 8, 2022 | Boutique

Valentine’s Day date night is back! What special plans are you making for the occasion? Wherever the day or evening may take you, we’ve got the look to elevate the mood.

Casual movie night or burgers and beers? It might be laid back, but you’ll be making heads turn in these SPANX faux suede leggings! Here we paired the dark terracotta leggings with our blush corduroy shacket. Our ivory sherpa puffer jacket is the perfect outer layer to snuggle up in. And, don’t miss our layered tee with the message, “Breath in Joy + Out Peace” placed gently at the neckline.

We’re in love with all the feminine details of this floral top. With it’s bell sleeves, delicately tied neckline and ruched waist, it dresses up any piece in your wardrobe. Here we show it with our SPANX skinny jean in light vintage wash and layered under our taupe button front jacket. Brass fringe earrings handmade by Nest Pretty Things add a romantic touch. 

We are so excited the flare leg pant is back in style!! These SPANX flare jeans in midnight shade are everything!! Don’t they look great with our chevron chenille puffer jacket? We show it here layered over our seek joy tee, which makes a great gift for all your Galentines.

We accessorized with our macrame hoop earrings by Twenty Two West in camel. Also available in dune, ink, and evergreen. This beautiful line of jewelry is handmade in Charlotte, NC.

This perfectly distressed denim top will quickly become the most versatile item in your closet! We have the light wash option (we have dark too!) layered over our “LOVE is a Verb” tee. And, once again, the faux leather SPANX leggings are red hot. If you don’t own them yet, run, don’t walk! These won’t stay in stock for long. This look is perfectly complemented by our iris stud earring in black from Like Wildflower jewelry.


This crochet maxi dress in soft blush makes the perfect backdrop for your valentine glass of bubbly. The details in the bodice of this dress just define pretty. Although the dress can stand well on it’s own, we think our Venice wide brim hat in olive takes it to the next level.

We’ve accessorized with a stack of our beaded diffuser bracelets, just add a few drops of your favorite essential oils!

We have so many more options in our boutique — you will have to come find your perfect date night look!. If you aren’t local, that’s ok — find these bestsellers online too! And, of course, don’t forget Valentine’s gifting. We will be taking orders for floral arrangements (pick up or local delivery) and have so many gorgeous pieces of jewelry and hand lettered cards to choose from!

It’s Finally Here

It’s Finally Here

After packing up our old shop on Pond Street, renovating almost every square inch of our new space, fueling up on lots of coffee and little sleep… we’re finally, finally here!

This move has been no joke, but we’re so proud of the end result and all the opportunities that this expansion allows… more product, more workshops, more in-store events, and a whole lot more.
 We can’t thank you enough for all of your support. You’ve been there every single day cheering us on, encouraging us, and motivating us with your enthusiasm.

One of our favorite parts of the expansion has been the ability to build new partnerships with tons of new makers of beautiful products. We love finding unique artisan products and get even more excited  when those makers are committed to giving back. Here’s a sneak peak at one of our new partners – Sojourner Leather Co.


Sojourner Leather Co gives 50% of all proceeds to Africa New Life for orphans and widows in Rwanda.

To say that we LOVE these earrings would be an understatement. We’ve literally not stopped wearing them since the day the order came in. They’re ultra light, buttery smooth, and pretty much go perfectly with everything… believe us, we’ve tried! 

We can’t wait for you to see these and other amazing products like this in our new shop.
 So whenever you’re ready, we’re ready, here & OPEN!

And if you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to our newsletter (below). We have a special gift for you that you’ll want to scoop up before visiting our new shop (wink, wink).

Meet the Team

Meet the Team

by | Jun 3, 2020 | Business, Personal

With closed doors, our team has stepped out of the spot light, but not off the gas.  We’re busier than ever getting our new store ready to launch and we couldn’t do it all without our amazing team. 

They’ve been behind the scenes since quarantine, but valued nonetheless, so we thought it was high time to give a proper introduction to all the lovely ladies who power the Only Prettier Design Team. 

Give a warm welcome to Kelly Wallace, Interior Decorator and E-Designer for Only Prettier.

Kelly lives and breathes interiors and can transform any space into one that’s beautiful, functional, warm and inviting. 

She has a 1 year old son, loves to travel, be outdoors, and of course page through design magazines. 

Her favorite dessert is sea salt dark chocolate – hint, hint 🙂

In her free time…. Wait, she’s got a 1 year old – just kidding.

Say a big HELLO to one of our amazing team members, Michelle Parlon. You’ll see Michelle’s smiling face once we reopen the doors of our little boutique shop in Norfolk. She’s the most welcoming and joyful person you’ll ever meet and we can’t wait to introduce her to you in person!  

In her free time, you can catch Michelle doing yoga,  having her morning coffee on the patio, reading, gardening and spending time with her 3 kiddos. 

She loves chocolate, pizza, and homemade cookies … must be its the yoga and her 3 active children keeping her so fit. 

Say Hello to Natalie, Creative Director at Only Prettier Design. She is such an inspiration and creative force at Only Prettier. 

She loves all things Christmas, a good junk sale, wine on the deck,  dinners out, peanut butter on a spoon, a new pair of shoes, and squishy babies (she was an infant teacher for 20 years!). 

She has three kids- one adult and two teenagers, who are witty and sassy just like their momma. 

In her free time you’ll find Natalie drinking her iced coffee out of a blue mason jar, engrossed in a building project with her husband, or enjoying a weekend at the beach.  

Other things that you may not know about Natalie is that she authored and illustrated the published children’s book, Last Night I Left Earth for Awhile, a sweet bedtime story for littles… Stop by our shop (reopening soon!) to get your copy.

We love these gals and the individuals strengths and gifts that they bring to the OPD team!

Follow our IG stories for more fun facts about the OPD gals.

Until next time,
