I’ve always been a fan of small businesses, in fact, I hope to become a Small Business owner in the future. The recent closures and hardships that small businesses have been enduring has been heartbreaking. I feel really lucky/ grateful to still have a job and have giving back by ordering takeout from local restaurants, ordering facemasks from local vendors, and am planning on updating my spring wardrobe with pieces from local businesses.


Puffy Sleeve Dress
Puffy sleeves are a huge trend this spring- I love this comfortable, breezy dress from local Austin boutique- BeeHive.

Slow North Geranium + Rose Candle
Lighting up a candle in my apartment is one of my favorite ways to create a calmer and more peaceful environment. This candle from local Austin boutique- Slow North smells amazing.

White Romper from Shop Morning Lavender
I’d rather wear a little white dress over a little black dress any day but especially during the spring and summer. This fun, white romper is a perfect choice to stay comfortable and cool on a summer day.

Water Color Kit form Paper Craft Pantry
Paper Craft Pantry is one of my favorite small businesses in Austin. I love that they promote creativity through art. They normally host in person workshops, but since that is no longer an option- they created workshop kits! This watercolor for beginner’s kit is perfect to spend a weekend getting your craft on.

Midi Dress from Beehive
I can’t wait to wear this sassy red dress once date night can take place outside of our apartments. This red dress also has a super cute detail in the back.

Made by Mary Rings
Made by Mary is one of my favorite small businesses and I own several of their jewelry pieces. I love that each piece is handmade with lots of detail and the piece lasts long and looks beautiful!

The Nap Dress
It’s no secret that I love sleeping and taking naps. So, a dress that I can easily nap in and I can wear all day is a dream! This “nap dress” from Hill House Home is an investment piece- but I think I’ll get a lot of use out of it.

Lounge Set
These days, comfort is one of the most important aspect I consider when buying clothes. This loungewear/ pajama set looks so comfortable to wear all day- while working from home or on the weekends.
Small businesses are so important for our economy and I hope that you’re feeling inspired to shop small if you are able to. I sincerely hope you’re staying safe and healthy out there.
