I love a good, cute boutique, and Forth and Home has easily become one of my absolute favorites…read more(probably my favorite shop in STL, even). Located in Webster Groves, it sells all sorts of unique, handmade-looking (they're probably actually handmade, too) home goods. Everything feels like a statement piece with how personality they have, but they all have practicality to them. It makes it really easy (and dangerous) for me to justify all of the purchases. The prices are very fair, and I love that most products come in the same design and different sizes. Service is great, vibes are great, shop is beyond aesthetically pleasing (peep the gorgeous ceiling!). I think about Forth and Home a ridiculous amount and try to come up with every excuse to swing by, and I can't recommend it enough.

More than a retail concept, Hearth & Soul is a gathering place created for ease and discovery. The…read morebuilding is modern, without feeling stark, and has an open, clean-lined sensibility. Inside, the floor plan features areas reminiscent of a home, including men's and women's closets, library, kitchen, bar, family room, and more (from the business's web site). The selection of brands is well considered and puts me in mind of recommendations from an effortlessly stylish, well-read friend. Prices range from accessible to more aspirational. I pride myself on being well-versed in brands, and was pleasantly surprised to discover many brands that never even crossed my radar. Good to know: Hearth and Soul carries Bond perfume for men and women. This is usually only available at department stores. Being able to indulge in a favorite fragrance while supporting a local business is a bonus. In addition to the retail experience, the location features various events to engage with the community and build awareness of local partners. Past events have included book signings, cooking classes, and sip and shops. Each month, Hearth and Soul teams up with a non-profit partner. Fliers of upcoming events are located in-store to ensure visitors are in the know. Post-pandemic, experiential retail is the latest trend. On that front, Hearth & Soul delivers, offering a welcome alternative to online scrolling and the ubiquitous mall.

Parking is limited. Staff is very friendly and approachable and knowledgeable of everything in the store. Very picturesque inside. This store have different areas you can browse. They have women and men clothing. They cater more to smaller sizes but I would still browse. I was told they keep different sizes in the back . Jewelry was very eclectic and pretty. Different styles so that is always a plus. Candles, books, artwork etc. it will definitely keep you entertained as you browse. They were having a Mexican event that consisted of flavored salsas and chips and Queso. The game changer was a jalapeño spice margarita. It was so good. They have different events from book signings to Pilates classes, jewelry classes etc. These events are monthly. Check they website and get the full list each month. Items are pricey (fyi) but the value I'm told is worth it.

There is a new decor boutique in town, Downtown Kirkwood, that is…read more This new shop recently opened and today I popped in to check it out. What caught my eye was all the black and white checkered hand painted items. I asked the lady behind the counter if they bought these items or were they hand painted there. They were hand painted by her! I told her I had a MacKenzie Child black and white tea pot that I adore, and she told me that was her inspiration. If you are familiar with Ballard Designs, there are several items that reminded me of them as well. Great place to find a gift or add a special something to your own decor.

Hall's flagship is located in Brentwood, on Manchester Road. The location is also home to K. Hall's corporate headquarters. Don't get me wrong....the Brentwood location is vast, boasting eye-catching product displays of the range of K. Hall products and hosting at least one massive, elbow throwing sale yearly. Originally envisioned as a pop-up retail outlet, the Plaza Frontenac location has been open since 2013. Whoever is in charge of merchandise does a consistently excellent job; I want one of everything. This location is heavier on women's clothing/accessories but still offers a wide range of signature fragrances. When I visited, there was a promotion on fragranced soaps. I ended up buying a soap, along with a necklace and beautiful cheese tray. The store is an oasis within this upscale mall, and one can rest assured of walking out with an unexpected find or, at the least, a calmer head after sniffing the soothing fragrances here.

I was on my way to the place next door when I realized the White Rabbit was right there. Bonus! Shopped around, they had some cute things. I love flour sack towels and found one with flowers that was pretty. And kept going back to fancy glasses in blue so I decided to get those, too. Prices were reasonable and I spent the gift card plus some. I was really uncomfortable about the personal conversation the staff was having after my husband and I were the only customers in the shop. Not anything horrible but just not a convo for when customers are around.

When you enter the store you know you have found a #shoplocal #shopsmall store that will help you finish your holiday shopping. I found so many amazing gifts for those hard to buy for cousins. There were vintage items, that took me back to our childhood memories and I cannot wait for them to open their gifts and have the same flashbacks as I did shopping. I got a chuckle out of the candy jar for well behaved children. It's a shame they don't have one for well behaved adults as well. Would I come back? Yes, when I need a unique gift that you can't find anywhere else. When: December 11, 2016 Why: Gift Shopping #shoplocal

So I have been in the market for various home goods, they were running their annual sample floor sale so after seeing the sign for a couple of weeks and passing by it, I decided to walk in. The shopkeeper was very friendly and courteous. I saw a rug I was interested in for my bedroom that was marked down from 400 to 100 and was made with real wool. I opted to think about it and after speaking with my boyfriend about the rug, I opted to buy it. I came back a week or so later and the one shop keeper remembered me from the other day and knew exactly what I had came for! The shopkeepers were helpful in getting me checked out and even organizing transportation for the rug as I had come in by foot and wanted to get it home that night. When I am in need for new furniture or decor, I will definitely come back just based on the customer service alone! Thank you again!!

I think what makes this place exceptional is the customer service. Deborah is so responsive to text messages and will send over photos of items based on inquiry. The kindest thing is how out of her way she went to ensure I had a very sentimental gift for my partner for Christmas. I bought a frame with a little quote on it back in March for my boyfriend which ended up getting lost in our move. It was a very special thing for us because of the saying and I was gutted when it came up missing. I texted Deborah and asked if she had any and she went out of her way to go to the store (it's closed for the holidays), pick up the last frame for me and print a new sign for inside of the frame based on our last one. Guys, this little frame is $15 so I doubt it's about the monetary gain here. I'm in tears at the thought of someone doing something so special for another person.
