LoveShackFancy

For some odd reason, the B-52’s are stuck in our heads this morning. Could be due to LoveShackFancy opening a pop-up on the Country Club Plaza this week!

  • Flowers, Everywhere: LoveShackFancy was founded by Rebecca Hessel Cohen in 2013 as a flower-filled fashion and lifestyle brand. The brand now has 21 stores across the globe, and collaborations with some of the biggest brands in retail. If you love pink and floral, you’ll love the store vibes!

LoveShackFancy will operate Monday through Saturday,10am-7pm, and Sundays 12-6pm.
