I know online shopping can be a real hoot when your boss is 1o feet away thinking you’re putting a dent in that Excel file, but nothing beats finding a gem in your favorite neighborhood boutique, taking it home immediately (gasp!), and putting it to use the next day. Break free of the desk chains and head to these shops now.
REUSE Jeans
I’ve been raving about these jeans this month, and I still can’t believe our good fortune in earning a storefront for such a well-fitting and ecofriendly denim line. Looking for an opportunity to check out the shop for yourself? How’s the grand opening party with music and cocktails sound this Saturday, January 21?
Froggies 5 and 10
I love all these under-$20 rock-and-roll inspired kitchen gadgets from Gama-Go, and you can find most of them at Froggies 5 and 10. You thought the Knox toy shop was just for kiddos, did you? You are wrong, my friend.
Dallas Pin Up
I just had my makeup done by expert artist Ladonna Stein at Dallas Pin Up, and I can’t get enough of the beautiful vintage-inspired beauty line, Besame. Lipstick cases are molded out of 50s bullet containers and colors are recreations of the favorites of old Hollywood starlets.
Iota
Go into Iota. I dare you. You’ll never want to come out. You can marvel at the art (like, a vase created out of metal paintbrushes) or pick up a couple gifty pieces like the light-up gummy bears that people went crazy for over Christmas or the newly carried reusable water vessels from S’well that give back through the Water Aid foundation.
Relativity Outdoors
You don’t have to be an outdoorsy gal to appreciate the wares at Relativity Outdoors. I’ve recently rediscovered the beauty of Columbia sweaters, which are both stylish and functional, thermal socks in fun colors, and a super cool line of jewelry that you’ll only find here. Yoga gear and swimwear coming soon, I’m told.
