There are many boutiques in the downtown Auburn area, but one is set apart from them all. Charming Oaks has been voted Plainsman's Choice for best boutique in Auburn. 

The small business is located on College Street, making it accessible to most Auburn University students. Charming Oaks is known for having a wide selection of trendy clothing, and the store also carries shoes, purses, jewelry and numerous other accessories. 

Inside the store, clothes are organized by color. Charming Oaks often has sales and other events that will make the visit a little more worthwhile.  

An important factor in owning a boutique is staying on top of trends, and Charming Oaks does just that. The owners consistently visit AmericasMart of Atlanta, a wholesale trade center, to find the latest styles to sell in-store. 

They update the store's merchandise quite to keep up with the current speed of trend cycles. 

"Charming Oaks is my favorite place to find an affordable game day outfit and accessories," said Lauren Biere, sophomore in pre-business. 

Although it is fun to shop in person, Charming Oaks makes it easy to shop online, too. Customers can use their website and social media pages to access their newest pieces in stock. Additionally, to purchase a favorite article of clothing before it sells out, you can call or direct message the store to order immediately. 

Social media plays an important part in owning a business. Charming Oaks successfully keeps its customers up to date with what's new in store by posting items online weekly. 

Charming Oaks only buys minimal amounts of certain pieces to sell. This allows customers to shop freely and not worry about accidentally matching with a friend. Plus, many pieces of clothing are priced reasonably for college students.
