Charming Charlie – Lakewood

Located at Belmar, Charming Charlie is one of my favorite accessories store (they also sell some clothes as well).
I just LOVE to see the different displays because everything is always organized just perfectly (this is every location). If you ever want some fashion inspiration, Charming Charlie is the place to go (especially if you want to add a splash of color to a boring outfit for an affordable price). Items are organized by color, so it is really easy to find what particular area you might want to focus on.
Upon entering the store this afternoon, I was immediately greeted by a friendly female employee. She welcomed me and asked how I was doing and if there was anything in particular that I was looking for today. I told her that I was just browsing and then went on way. This employee was quite cheery to everyone that I saw that she interacted with.
When you enter the store, head towards the right side, to the back of the store for the clearance section. In this section, items are up to 50% off (with plenty of cute items).
If I was ever in the area again, I would not hesitate to stop by.
By the way, parking options include street (metered) and in the structure (free).

Its like walking into your dream closet and your best friends are there to help you pick something out for the occasion!
I had no idea what jewelry to pick for my vacation to vegas and while walking around for not even a minute a girl came up to me asking if i needed help! I told her my situation and that i am up to try something new!
She was amazing she helped me pick out some amazing bold colors for vegas! It was different experience i felt as if i was shopping around with my best friends! I will definitely be coming back here to get some more things for my next vacation!

This store is fantastic. It’s quite overwhelming to walk into, because of all the amazing accessories, and it takes forever to get through the store to the register because you want to see it all! The ONLY thing I seem to run into every time I go into this store is cashier (or lack there of). The women who work on the floor are very kind and and inviting but when ever I go to the counter to check out, they ignore me. I don’t know why. This has happened to a few friends of mine on different occasions as well. In fact the last time I went in with my mom, we were surrounded by employees and they all ignored us. We stood, feeling stupid for about 2 minutes as they walked around talking to each other (non-​business related). Just as I was about to drop my stuff and leave, a girl came from the back with food shoved in her mouth, and didn’t seem apologetic about the lack of help. She just checked us out, and we were on our way.
As I said I LOVE the store, but when it comes to finishing the sale for these ladies, they are a long way from where they should be if they want to be a successful business.

Err, I want to like this store in many ways BUT, since I am not so much of a girly kind of girl, I think I’ll stick to 3 stars for this store. Was here with my friends, after running some errands on Wednesday, February 1^st 2012.
From what my friend told me, she has been raving about this store ALOT! I mean ALOT to the infinity! Anyways, its good to shop if you need something from all the different colors scheme they offer. This store is located in the Belmar. The items they sell here are of reasonable prices.
Well I might look into purchasing if needed to be for friends’ gifts whats not. Perhaps might return to this store or the stores located nearer to my house. From their website details, currently they have 5 stores in Colorado.

Looking for an overwhelming selection of jewelry, purses, socks, wardrobe accessories, etc. That’s ALSO organized by color (more or less)? Then look no further than Charming Charlie!
14 or 41, chances are most ladies could find at least *something* in this store for purchase. For me it was a cupcake ring and a billfold with a flamingo on it. Actually, both were Christmas gifts from The Dude, but it’s because we’d been in the store together (just hanging out – I didn’t forcefully drag him in there or anything like I’m going to do when Titanic 3D comes out) and I remarked on how I liked those items.
As another review noted, they do have items that are clearly the draw of many-​a-​girly teenager’s eye, but they also have more «conservative» items that are just fun. Interesting rings and bracelets, and then the more over-​the-​top giant hoop earrings and loud hair accessories and whatever else.
If nothing more, it’s fun just to walk around the store and see all the different colors of items and variety. They’re reasonably priced (it’s not real ice here, after all) and would make a great gift stop. Sales staff has always been friendly («Hi thanks for stopping in Charming Charlie have you been here before?»). To me this is a couple steps up from Claire’s, both in overall item selection and in targeted demographic. While I no longer feel particularly comfortable shopping at Claire’s (I’m at least twice their target age market), I’m pretty sure I’ve still got several years left for Charming Charlie ;)

I had been hearing a lot about this place from friends and family and so over the holidays I checked it out with mom. I guess I should parlez right now that neither she or I are the girly girls like this store is marketed towards. Feathers? Nope. Glitter pink purse? Hell no.
However her assistant who was still needing a Christmas present is that kind of girl — so this place screamed her. We were greeted upon entering the store and asked if we knew the layout and design of the store — I immediately lied and said ‘yes, yes I do’ and we moved past her. It’s not hard to see it’s color coordinated… like every shade of the color palate on MS Paint. A lot of it is juvenile and well let’s face it, so hot pink/​fuchsia/​blue/​red/​yellow/​green that I would only wear it to a rave — and I haven’t been to one of those for a long time. BUT we ended up finding enough cute things for the gift we were shopping for and managed to say in there for 30 minutes because there is just so so so much stuff to look at. A few times I was bummed to see that something that had great design in one color was not available in another color though.
I’ll admit the black section was a hit with me though. There I said it. I’d go back if I were shopping for a certain accessory or had time to kill before a movie.

What can I say about Charming Charlie other than the fact that it’s the happiest place on earth…
It’s every woman’s playground when it comes to fun jewelry and accessories, scarves, hand bags, shoes, clothing and a billion other things you just have to go see for yourself. Everything is very well priced as well.
As for the staff: I think they’re fembots or something because no one is that nice. Seriously. I even wrote in my quick tip that they’ve earned a loyal customer for life because of the way I was treated that day. I mean, they’re always nice and helpful, but this day was special. I went in to buy head scarves because I started chemo and will be losing my hair. Instead of just pointing me in whatever direction, this person asked me about color, material and pattern preferences, said excuse me, wait here and came back not 3 – 5 minutes later with a handful of scarves for me to try and to choose from. She was so wonderful that I asked to see her manager so I could get her a raise or a promotion, but it turned out someone beat me to it because she was already one of the managers.
The location I frequent is in Belmar and they’ve always got tons of shoppers and a huge line at the register, but they’re always nice and the line moves quickly. The store is organized into color schemes: purple items here, green items there. It’s very simple and fun. You can spend hours in there browsing or you can simply go to the color section of your choice and find exactly what you came for in a couple of minutes.
You know what? Just stop reading these reviews now and go… GO!

While I had more fun in my Charming Charlie shopping excursions in south Aurora, this location is closer to other destinations for me. It’s crazy how many different types of accessories you can find at a Charming Charlie store. They’re not all well made, but you can find something to match every outfit!
I picked up a floral scarf and a set of three pairs of earrings yesterday for under $ 30. They’re currently running a special event during which every purchase of a hat, scarf or pair of earrings will prompt a donation of an accessory to an organization that helps women with cancer feel pretty – I think it might run through October.
Anyway, I like Charming Charlie and would shop there despite their philanthropic efforts. I’m happy that it was a bonus to yesterday’s trip!
