Remember the days of playing dress up with your mom’s designer clothes, four-inch heels and fancy jewels? Of being that "girly girl" who lived for putting on sparkly lip gloss, having tea parties and playing with dolls? Of leafing through fashion magazine after magazine, admiring the beautiful models and those oh-so-glamorous outfits? Then you get Monica!

Monica Byrd, creator of the HOTTEST FASHION BOUTIQUE, Urban Charm, and its online counterpart, www.urban-charm.com, simply put, gets fashion! 

While her penchant for fashion may have started back in the days of playing dress up in her mom’s vintage heels, it certainly blossomed through her teens. A New Orleans native, Monica always seemed to have her finger on the pulse of fashion, and gravitated towards creating looks that embraced a feminine, yet funky vibe. When she moved to the Washington, D.C. area, her fashionable flair followed her and within no time, Monica was helping to style her pals for exciting nights out on the town with finds from local boutiques.

Urban Charm caters to today’s trend-savvy fashionistas who command the most in style, but shy away from the attitude that other boutiques so often exude. For Monica, it’s all about having girly fun, hanging out, dishing fashion advice, and of course, creating perfect outfits for their clientele, no matter what their size, style or occasion may be.  Whatever the look, Monica garners tremendous satisfaction from helping clients create a style that’s true to their personalities and figures. She loves making her clients look and feel simply fabulous each and every day.

Much like its "girly girl" founder, the boutique’s feminine vibe is reminiscent of carefree childhood days, invoking an instant memory of those tea parties and dolls, while being chock full of magnificent modern staples and must-have finds from today’s hottest trends. 

One could say that Monica is just playing dress-up all over again, only now it’s even better!
