The second law of thermodynamics and the first law of Nelly lyrics hold that ambient heat and clothing have an inverse relationship. Disturb the natural order with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of clothing and accessories at Wink Boutique in Fuquay-Varina.

Owner Vanessa Boyd combines her passion for high fashion and bargain hunting in one bubbly and beatific boutique. Picture frames hung on exposed-brick walls display pieces from notable brands such as Tulle, Gentle Fawn, Miss Me jeans, House of Harlow and more. The tables of shoes, hairpieces, and jewelry surrounded by funky mirrors and kind lighting make shoppers feel as though they are in the closet of the older, effortlessly hip hypothetical sister they always hoped to emulate. A BB Dakota tan trench coat with detachable fur hood keeps wearers warm and fashion-blog ready ($89), and trimmed-up cardigans are as versatile as they are comfy ($39). A medley of tops, jeans, and skirts provides wearable wardrobe staples appropriate for a laid-back office or a night out with friends. For extravagant nights at the hermit-crab racing track, Wink has the perfect little black dress ($62). Additionally, Wink Boutique’s Facebook page offers special sales and updates on new arrivals, and it provides tips for the most effective way to turn scarves into makeshift motor-oil filters.
