Austral Salon
- 2100 Beltline Boulevard
- 1085 Lake Murray Boulevard, Irmo
- 803-790-0770, 803-781-6426
- So, Austral has this reputation for being high-end, fancy-schmancy, the place to go for fabulous hair…if you can afford it. Guess what. You can! They offer cuts from $30. All stylists are under the supervision of owner Tim Shealy. Shop Tart Tip: Going to a junior stylist at an upscale salon is an excellent value. Austral isn’t just about hair – they also do special occasion makeup and facial waxing (No, we don’t like to talk about it. But we have to do it. Shouldn’t we do it in a beautiful salon with fresh coffee and lovely lighting?). Austral is the perfect place to go for a stunning, polished look for a big event. Be sure to inquire about all of the treatments they offer; the Shop Tart is a huge fan of their Keratin straightening treatment. The treatment removes 85 to 95% of frizz and makes your mane low-maintenance for four to six months. Heaven! Among other products, Austral carries Phyto, a Shop Tart favorite for it’s amazing ability to tame her mane and super-stylish packaging.

Casual Living
- Casual Living is the perfect place for all your outdoor entertaining needs, from that fab iron bench – and the cushions to go with it – to acrylic glasses in every shape and size…and cool outdoor lighting fixtures…and tablecloths…umbrellas…blankets for cool nights on the porch. In fact, she votes for a re-naming: Fab Party Living. She admits “Casual Living” has a nicer ring to it, but still. Casual Living is the perfect place to go when you want to seem casual as you entertain with mad style. Don’t miss the acrylic servers and glasses, durable enough for the pool, chic enough for any table, inside or out.

Coplon’s
- 4825 Forest Drive
- 803-790-0015
- Coplon’s is iconic. They’ve been bringing the very best of fashion to Columbia for thirty years. Look for exclusive established collections such as Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors, Lanvin, Lela Rose, Diane Von Furstenberg, Alice and Olivia, Theory, Stuart Weitzman, Temple St. Clair, Chloe, Stella McCartney, Valentino and Christian Louboutin, as well as new emerging designers such as Jason Wu, Alexander Wang, Yigal Azrouel and Elizabeth and James. They also have a fab makeup and skincare department stocked with products from Trish McEvoy and Darphin. The Shop Tart can be found lurking in the shoe department, right by the Louboutins, waiting for a sale. Their sales are legendary and the sales staff is friendly, helpful and unpretentious. (Don’t be shy about asking for the sale merchandise – and don’t miss the back room, often filled to bursting with heavily discounted things from seasons past!)

DiPrato’s
- 342 Pickens Street
- 803-779-0606
- DiPrato’s is known as a great place for lunch and brunch and for good reason. It’s always bustling and you won’t hate waiting in line because they usually have pimento cheese and DiPrato’s amazing pita chips out for sampling. The deli is a Shop Tart favorite for takeout. Throw a party at a moment’s notice without cooking a thing – they have you covered, with everything from chicken salad and hummus to fried stuffed artichokes, deviled crab and roasted broccolini. And do not forget the made to order crispy pita chips; the Shop Tart recommends keeping them in the back seat of your car or they won’t make it home. Service at DiPrato’s is always beyond friendly, the food is always delicious and they have a great selection of wine!

Dianne’s
- 2400 Devine Street
- 803-254-3535
- You might find it odd that the Shop Tart chose pictures of bar snacks and a classic wedge salad for Dianne’s, where the amazing menu, friendly and respectful service and superb wine list shine any night of the week, except for Sunday. Why are they closed on Sunday? Well, Dianne herself has to rest sometime and she is almost always there to greet you when you walk in the door and bid you adieu when you leave. Dianne’s is also great for parties or private dinners. And don’t miss your chance to go retro-fabulous at Dianne’s during special events. But the bar snacks? The best in town. Olives, marinated mozzarella, perfect cocktail peanuts – you never know what you’ll find. And the wedge is legendary. Do join the Shop Tart some time for a little “Wedge and W(h)ine.” Divine! If you love “Mad Men” like the Shop Tart does, Dianne’s is your place. And…they run amazing dinner specials. In March, enjoy three courses for $30, including lots of favorites from the menu.
