The Atlanta opening will also introduce a new interior store design inspired by the brand’s beach-side beginnings. Atlanta’s Ponce City Market location ribbon cutting opening ceremony will take place April 6, 2017 at 9am with South Moon Under’s CEO, Michael Smith, former owner of White House/Black Market, in attendance.

South Moon Under has plans for over 20 new store openings across the US by 2019 including Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and parts of the mid-west. The announcement marks the first of the brand’s plans to expand across the US following its March 2016 majority stake purchase by JPB Capital Partners.

Then at 3pm, you can shop the Ashley Brooke Designs Trunk Show and chat with the designer herself. Oh, and all of the Georgia State grad’s trunk show pieces will be 20%. Plus expect sips, snacks and other giveaways. Personally, we have been shopping at South Moon Under for years in Virginia/D.C and we are “over the moon” to finally have this fashion-forward lifestyle boutique in our own city.

SHOE SHINE FOR THE GUYS

SPRING BREAK-SKINNY IN NO TIME WITH SCULPSURE

Have your cake and eat it too. Literally. With a new highly innovative non-invasive service called SculpSure, you can lose body fat in 25 minutes and be beach ready in no time. Sculpsure is a body contouring treatment that uses light based technology to treat fat in problem areas such as love handles and abdomen. How amazing does this sound? Grab an appointment and head to Dr. DiFrancesco’s office on your lunch break and in as little as six weeks you will find your treated area is slimmer and more contoured. There is usually a 20-25 percent reduction in fat in the treated area. This can be increased by having a second treatment. That’s what we call using our time wisely.
