C Wonder

I happened upon this store during a recent trip to Tyson’s — I had never seen it before even though it has been around for over a year. While there, I happened upon an emerald green raincoat. I have been looking for a raincoat this color for months and was so happy to finally find one — and in my size! It’s the cutest style with C Wonder written on the lining. Every time I wear it, I probably get 2 – 3 comments on it.
Minus one star for the prices — way too expensive. They were having a 30% everything sale when I went, which still made the coat out of my price range ($ 200 vs. $ 140). Oh well, sometimes a splurge is worth it :)
By the way, there is a location in Pentagon City mall, but it has a smaller selection.

I work from home so a robe is pretty much my everyday wardrobe.
When my usually oblivious hubster started taking notice of my newly adopted pantsless and shoeless lifestyle I realized that it was time to go shopping. I wandered around Tysons Corner aimlessly for a few hours not knowing what I wanted or even what was in style anymore until the bright shining lights of C. Wonder pulled me in.
If you’re a fan of Tory Burch aesthetics you’ll love C. Wonder, it’s pretty much exactly the same thing. If you’re friends with Tory Burch you’ll probably hate C. Wonder, the owner of the store is her ex-​husband and he totally ripped off her style!
I’m in the first category so I pretty much was in love with all of the bright, happy, vibrant colors, interesting prints, and overall girlish design of all their wares. It’s a mini mecca featuring all things stylishly cute: shoes, boots, denim, skirts, jackets, house ware, and chunky gold jewelry. It’s like if Kate Spade had a best friend who married a dude and divorced him. It doesn’t matter, they are all in that same awesome, preppy circle.
The store attendant was as nice as could be and was so accomdating to all of my needs even though I had not showered, I was wearing flip flops on a 40 degree day, and not wearing any makeup. Thank you for not judging me lady! She helped me find two fab shoes and a new dress that make me feel like an actual human that interacts with other humans for a living.
This is a note to my friends, please buy me a gold teapot from here for Christmas :)

Hello, beautiful sparkly things!
I had never heard of C Wonder before. It’s a really bright and colorful store. Walking in, I got so excited over all the sparkle. I started to realize everything looks Tory Burch-​ish, so I wiki’d and read it’s her ex-husband’s store.
They have everything – clothes, home goods, stationary… jewelry! I was hypnotized by the jewelry so I spent most of my time there.
They have knockoffs of the necklaces Anna Wintour wears all the time, $ 60 – 100. I wanted very much to buy one, but for $ 100 the quality wasn’t that great – the stones were chipped; or the necklaces would flip to the back side. I even asked if I could look in the stock drawers and they gave me free reign. I still couldn’t find a stone without a chip or some sort of defect.
From there I went to the home goods. If you’re a fan of elephant iconography (known for good luck!), they’ve got tons.
I also had fun with all the monograms – stationary, napkins, pillows, purses.
I didn’t spend much time with clothes, so no comment.
There’s definitely lots to play with and lots of sparkle. It’s a great place window shop. I didn’t buy anything during my first trip, but hopefully my next trip I’ll have more success!

I am definitely a fan of C. Wonder!
I knew I would immediately like the place when I first saw the pictures on the wall of the upcoming new store with their eclectic items that they carry — from jewelry, clothes, tea sets, cups, stuff for iPad. etc.
Upside:
— lots of things to look at
— great knick-​knacks that has a good quality feel
Downside:
— pricey!
I definitely would come here again for a good buy (if items are on sale).

C Wonder just opened up a couple of weeks ago in Tysons Corner.
Very interesting store. I felt like I was walking into a candy store. I guess it’s candy for women.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were very energetic and positive, but having just opened, I wouldn’t expect less.
The store has a good combo of women’s shoes, clothing, jewelry, and even home goods. It’s an all in one shop.
Now, despite all of the behind the scenes issues with this store, it does seem very crisp and clean in style and the prices are comparable to J Crew prices.
I would check it out and see it what it’s all about now before everyone else does! Be the trendsetter.
