Tiki Lounge

Love it. Love.

I sure took my sweet time getting over to the Tiki Lounge!  Good golly, but I did  not know what I was missing!  Store owner/operator Stacey White is a lot of fun to talk to, and she has so many cute, fun items in her boutique - clothing, handbags, jewelry, shoes, hats...

It was a hard decision, but I came away with a really cool new handbag with cream-colored pleather layers that look sort-of like an upscale ruffle, and wooden horn-like pieces on the handle.  There was also an awesome clutch with big rhinestones on it that I have to go back for, plus all the great clothes that I haven't tried on yet!  My fashionista friend Amy Crawford got a sparkly new ring and is already on a first-name basis with the owner!

I can't wait to go back.

Tiki Lounge is located at 17 N. Tacoma Ave. and is across from the new Dame Lola in a very fun Stadium neighborhood.

Damn...think I need to stop into Tiki sometime soon. Sure do miss her. :(

And yes, JCbetty - Envy runs small as well. Very disheartening as a female, huh? Thank goodness we start our stuff on Monday!

Not hippy style - eco fashion style. Think designer blue jeans made from organic cotton. I think the shop has two names, one of them is Country Girl's Garden. In addition to selling lovely earth friendly clothing for men and women, the (delightful) owner makes soap there in the shop. I think she has a nice variety of sizes also - not just junior miss like some of the other spots in town.

p.s. I adore Tiki Lounge
