Super Bowl Sunday East Blvd. boutique sale

Super Bowl Sunday won't just be about football, as several popular East Blvd. boutiques are banding together to offer a sale.

The sale will run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and feature store-wide markdowns of 20 to 25 percent, along with additional individual sale items. Stores participating are: Sloan, Step by Sloan, Petal, Cottage Chic, Laura James Jewelry, CORAL, Monarch Consignment and I.C. London. Wine & Design, a new shop offering "paint parties," has a $25 special football canvas deal for husbands and kids who aren't into ladies boutiques.

The idea for the sale came from Sloan Boutique and local shopping site Scoop Charlotte. For more details and to see exactly what's on sale, check out their website.
