Shop Like A Local: Hive

5/10/2017

It's no secret that I love fashion. I love any excuse to dress up and pride myself on having the perfect outfit for every occasion. Picnic in the park? Check. Thanksgiving photo shoot at a duck lodge? Got it!

I love shopping online as much as the next girl, okay maybe a bit more, but sometimes you just want to go right into a brick and mortar store, run your fingers through the racks, and try on a few things.

I'm a big believer in supporting the businesses that make your local community great. When you buy from a local retailer, you're not lining the pockets of some distant CEO, you're helping a family in your neighborhood buy their weekly groceries, pay for their child's dance lessons, purchase school supplies. The sales tax collected also goes to help better your local community. I don't know about you, but I'm a fan of traffic control!

My town of Jonesboro is home to many great local boutiques that carry everything from classic styles to super trendy gifts. The latest boutique in town (and my current fave) is Hive.

This adorable boutique, located at 2810 Highland Drive, puts a vintage twist on modern looks. Women of all ages and sizes can find adorable and affordable looks in this cute shop. The inventory is constantly changing, (They've recently added graphic tees!) and you're sure to always find something you just have to have. I know that's been my case!

I recently combed the racks of Hive with my best friend and designated shopping partner, Kerri, and we found so many new treasures to add to our wardrobes. Wanna see what I got? Okay, let's check it out!

I just love this soft floral tee! It's casual and just dressy enough that I feel comfy yet put together!

Isn't this maxi dress just absolutely dreamy? I wore it for Easter Sunday, and it was so comfy, but still dressy enough for our festivities.

And y'all. I bought a romper. And I don't look like a toddler! It's a little low cut, so I bought a raspberry colored bralette from the boutique as well while I was there. Hive seriously has everything, y'all. I think I need a night out in Memphis or something to properly showcase this!

Hope you local honeys decide to fly in to Hive soon to see what the buzz is all about! If you're not in Jonesboro you can shop their Facebook page. And you're in luck...during the month of May, Hive is offering free shipping for anything you order! How cool is that?
