The bevello philosophy

Welcome to bevello, a shopping experience tailored to you.

Launched in April 2009, bevello (with a lowercase “b”) is a one-of-a-kind boutique in-store. One of our core goals is to develop new ways to make your shopping experience exceptional.

Most big name clothing companies want to keep you at an arm’s distance. bevello promises to give you the respect you deserve and the help you need, all while making your time with us a fun, no-hassle experience.

The Philosophy Behind bevello

At bevello, our founding principle is this: the love you get is the air you breathe. Customers of bevello should expect nothing less than a unique love-centric fashion experience. Love your life, love your friends, love your clothes. When you shop at bevello, we want you to feel loved. It is our mission to help you dress your best and feel your best wherever you go. You won't just be our beloved customers, but also the beloved of everyone who lays eyes on you.

The name bevello is derived from "bella," the Italian word for "beautiful," mixed with a little "love." bevello's logo is “bve,” thoughtfully designed to be read as both an abbreviation for “bevello” and “love.”

  • Mara Schilly

    Where is your hometown?
    I’m originally from West Chester, PA. However, I’ve spent most of my adult life in good ole’ Clemmons, NC, so I consider myself a southerner!

    What do you do at bevello?
    I’m the boutique manager at bevello’s Thruway Center location in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I love the location of our store! We are nestled in between some great shops, on the outskirts of the wonderful Buena Vista area.

    What are your favorite books or movies?
    I’ve become addicted to suspense novels, thanks a lot Dan Brown! As for movies, I have an awkward obsession with sci-fi and period movies; my favorites being Pride & Prejudice, Romeo + Juliet, and Lord of the Rings. Don’t judge me, but many times my favorite movies are the ones with the best musical score.

    What are your hobbies or interests?
    Besides shopping and traveling, I have a great passion for the arts. I love singing, acting and dancing. Mission work also holds a special place in my heart. I’ve been involved with a mission out of Chiapas, Mexico for years now, and I can’t imagine my life without it!

    What is most important thing in your life?
    My family, friends, and bevello, of course! Without the wonderful support system my family and friends have created, I wouldn’t be here today. I should also probably mention my loving cats, Pepper and Spunkey, who many of my friends have said I like too much.

    Where is your hometown?
    I grew up in Zebulon, North Carolina. It's a great little town just a short drive from Raleigh but at the same time just far enough away to be considered by some the "country." Whatever you call it, it's home to me and I love it.

    What do you do at bevello?
    I am the boutique manager at the Cameron Village location in Raleigh, North Carolina. I love the atmosphere and the customers because it feels like exactly that, a "village." It's the best environment to work in and offers the best friends/customers we could ask for!

    What are your favorite books or movies?
    Let me start with what I started with, I've been watching Pretty Woman and Dirty Dancing my entire life – oldies but goodies. Recently, I seem to love all the movies that critics hate…but I like to think that I'm not alone in that. I tend to consider myself open-minded; I'll pretty much give any genre a shot. As for the written word, Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote is a classic - how could Holly Golightly not inspire you? …and in the interest of being true to my industry, Rachel Zoe’s Style A to Zoe is every girl’s go-to guide to fashion!

    What are your hobbies or interests?
    The most obvious would probably be my interest in the fashion industry. People who know me know that I'm freakishly organized so I guess you could call that a hobby (scary, I know). I fiddle around with scrapbooking - yes scrapbooking – and a little bit of jewelry making. If it’s creative, I’m into it! Most of all, I’m a total beach bum…sand and salt water soothe my soul.

    What is most important thing in your life?
    I hold my family and friends very close to my heart – and work of course! I have been blessed to be surrounded by the most amazing people in my life; they’ve shaped me into the person that I am today. They may be a crazy crowd, but they’re the greatest. I have to save a space for Chloe, my Yorkie-Maltese mix. She lights up my day and inspires me to be the person my dog thinks I am!

  • Lauren Stevens

    Where is your hometown?
    I'm a lucky girl...I have two hometowns: Princeton, NC and Seven Springs, NC.

    What do you do at bevello?
    I make people feel beautiful!!! ( lots of other things too, but this is the most important one ; )

    What are your favorite books or movies?
    I love to read anything I can get my hands on. Its kind of ridiculous...I've been known to read the back of shampoo bottles! I especially enjoy reading books with tons of suspense. My favorite movie is Everafter, its a take on the classic Cinderella love story. Its sounds corny, but I never get tired of watching it.

    What are your hobbies or interests?
    Shopping! I go crazy over a great pair of shoes or a killer dress. I also love being with friends, running, cooking, being outdoors, and painting.

    What is most important thing in your life?
    God and the people around me. Love for others is what life is all about : )

  • Jessica Barbalich

    Where is your hometown?
    Watertown, NY and I grew up in Port Jervis, NY.Close enough to the city so that a visit was just an hour away.

    What do you do at bevello?
    I I am the boutique manager in the Blakeney Shopping Center in Charlotte, NC. I think that the most satisfying thing about my job is being able to find that perfect outfit that she never knew was out there; thanks to our one-of-a-kind boutique.

    What are your favorite books or movies?
    The girly books are so fun to read…books by Emily Giffin, Lauren Wesiberger and Liz Tuccillo, to name a few. My other fun reads are W, LUCKY and all of the celeb magazines so that I can keep up with “who’s who”. As far as movies, my favorite is “Beaches” (I know…such a girly movie), but then I have this thing for suspense and horror movies. Any new one that comes out is a must see.

    What are your hobbies or interests?
    Shopping, of course, to see what the newest and cutest things are that are out there. I enjoy being active and hanging out with friends. I do yoga to keep a good balance in my life.

    What is most important thing in your life?
    Staying healthy is very important to me so that I can live a long and happy life. I believe in always surrounding oneself with positive people.
