Karolina's has you covered from the front door, to the kitchen, to your wardrobe, and yes, even the garden. They've got the obligatory stickers and t-shirts, of course, but they also have a large and unique selection of Hispanic-themed and inspired trinkets and dishware that are sure to save you the trip to Laredo or the RGV. The people who work here are really great, too. The prices seem fair for what it takes to produce and import these items, but you know I love a deal (and I don't think they take coupons here). Still, it's very much worthwhile to support a local business that's bringing this vibrant energy to our community.

Went last year but been needing to make a review. They have the cutesttt items. So many fun and…read morewitty things. I wanted to go crazy and buy so many things but unfortunately my daughter and I were being followed around the store by staff as if they were trying to make sure we wouldn't steal anything. I haven't experienced that since being a high schooler in Spencer's Gift. It was uncomfy. We purchased only a few items and told her yea probably not coming back here again. Closer to fiesta I went ahead and ordered some items online. Majority of the items I ordered were out of stock so I had to just cancel my order. It just hasn't been the greatest experience for me which is unfortunate because their items are so unique and cute.

There are similar stores around the city but having one so close to home is fantastic. They sell BarbacoApparel shirts (my favorite local brand!), fiesta medals, stickers, jewelry, and Consuela purses. I absolutely adore Consuela purses, so knowing I can buy one here instead of online is such a treat. The one girl managing the shop was very nice (and she was wearing a mask, so props to her for being courteous enough, whether she's trying to keep shoppers from getting sick or prevent herself from getting sick, either way, I respect that), and she was in the process of surveying the store on how to set up the incoming Fiesta merch, post-Holiday stock. We chatted briefly, and overall I just love how uniquely "puro San Antonio" this shop is. In a world where large corporations are thriving, this local shop is a breath of fresh air. Support small businesses!

Today my friend and I stopped at the Alley on Bitters (formerly named Artisans Alley) to try out…read morethe Bread Box and afterwards we happened upon Iva Style. What a wonderful and unique shopping experience! The staff was so personable (without being intimidating or intrusive) from the minute we walked in. It felt like we had been friends forever. Our four young boys were with us and they were treated like family too. The sweet sales person stooped down to eye level to my youngest (age 3) and gently took the time to explain to him 'why' he should not touch the guitar that was propped against the wall (not just admonishing him for touching it - good teachable moment done with love and respect). Then she followed that up by giving him (and the other kids) a coloring book! What a darling thing to do! The store was covered in unique artwork, jewelry, accessories and finds you don't see in other places. I enjoy a colorful whimsical aesthetic, it was like walking into HAPPY LAND! And oh! my! gosh! The baby & children's clothes are to die for! What a perfect place to come for a gift! We learned about some new womens athleisure & womens clothing items she has in the works. I will be absolutely be back to check them out. They do carry an extensive collection of Meileg dollhouse items. This makes me wish I was 5 again. Our little ones were in wonder (as I was) taking in the experience of the store, but were very careful to look and not disturb. I know it's so difficult to keep a boutique going in this day and age were people want to buy everything online, but what would we do if we didn't get to actually see and enjoy these treasures in person any more? What fun would life be then? I think it's important to visit your local businesses and help out where you can. We learned Iva Style is also a woman owned business, and I commend her for making it through Covid. Hopefully the rest of the Artisans Alley will soon come back to life. It does look like its had a few hits but WE all carry some economic power to help bring these fun places back to their former glory. Its a perfect place to go have a girls day (my husband enjoys too) without having to drive all the way to Boerne or Fredericksburg. They have a wine bar where you can get a charcuterie board some other shops that are truly gems, like a balloon specialty shop! Definitely check out The Alley on Bitters.

I would say that this just isn't the place for me, but I actually found some cute coasters for a friend's housewarming present and a pair of earrings for myself. By the time I got home, the earrings broke- I had to use krazy glue to get a gemstone back on, and then the first time I wore them, the post fell off the actual earring! It was children's quality jewelry with a grown-up $18 price tag. If I didn't live across the country, I would have gone back for a refund.

From their earrings, to purses and blouses...everything is just fabulous. Fiesta San Antonio 2019 is around the corner, and I obviously had to stop by for a new Fiesta blouse. There are many places in San Antonio that sell Mexican-style blouses (even HEB has their own line) but the bad thing is that they all look the same... you know what I mean, the typical white blouse with flowers around the neck. That is why I decided to get mine from La Casa Frida. They have very unique styles that you won't find anywhere else and will make you stand out during your Fiesta parties.

She seemed a little surprised that I was a San Antonian. That's OK. We chatted about that a bit. Her shop is so very pleasant and airy. It is stocked with scented candles, jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets), lotions, pens, birthday and non-specific cards (really cool ones; you probably won't find them anywhere else; I bought 3 and a pen). I know I've missed some items, but you get the picture. And damn it, I did not take a picture!! We got to talking about various things and she turned me on to the HEB curbside grocery service. She swears by it, so I may have to try it myself. Anyway, next time you are downtown before 6:30 pm, stop by. So very nice and pleasant. Cadeaux means 'gifts.

If you are looking for something specific, she can definitely help you, or you can browse around the store. Her prices are reasonable. And although she be small, she be mighty! The boutique looks small from the outside, but she has it packed, but not overwhelming. She has it very well organized and decorated just oh so cute!
