Christina Muir is moving her Jewel Couture Boutique from Clairemont Rd (near the music store) up to the square and taking on a new name: Vivid Boutique.

Since Cold Stone Creamery up and deserted its spot at 133 East Court House Square a few months ago (following in the steps of the Emory location), the space next to Starbucks has been under renovation. Pale blue walls graced with bags, soaps and jewelry have replaced the marble slabs and ridiculously long waits of Cold Stone.

Make sure to visit Christina when her new location opens in the coming weeks. She did an amazing job designing my wife’s wedding jewelry last year and should get a lot more foot traffic at the new location.

In regards to ice cream, the superior Jake’s is now the only option on the square. The Dairy Queen on Trinity will soon be redeveloped as part of the “Trinity Triangle”.
