Shop Local: Evolve

Evolve Boutique in Emory Village (northeast Atlanta) is near and dear to my heart since it's the first boutique we ever featured on our blog. That was over a year and a half ago, so we figured it wouldn't seem redundant to do another post on such a great store.

Here are 3 reasons why we love Evolve:

1.) All the items in the store are by indie designers, local, earth-friendly, organic and/or re-purposed.
2.) Joyce, the owner (pictured above left), is the nicest person you'll ever meet.
3.) Joyce's dog (also pictured above left) is so sweet and greets every customer that walks in the door. Eat your heart out, Walmart.

We both left with some great purchases including an amazing ring Lauren picked up - we'll blog about that in an upcoming post.

why is it always so much more fun to buy stuff when there's a dog there to say hello?

Allie said...

Haha I have to agree with greenjeans, boutiques with dogs are more fun!

I've been thinking about doing boutique features on my blog. I should get around to asking permission to photo while I'm in there.

Are those purses on the bottom left corner or fun presents? That's pretty neato if they were surprises!

Jealous! Vegas needs more places like that. Anything, actually without the words "Hollywood Trendy" in the name would be most excellent. That tiered shirt is so cool. You girls have great hair. Can't wait to see the ring!

Kay said...

It looks like such a lovely place (:

Yay for earth friendly, eco, and repurposed!

I seriously with I lived in the ATL and could shop with you two! It's nice to see Asians getting attention for once!

Ace said...

in that case I'm jealous of your dress. I've hunted for the perfect black and white striped shift dress, no luck so far.
