Boutique Dreams

As I mentioned before I love boutiques and this love for them keeps me thinking about opening up a space of my own one day. All the images I shared this week were collected for me to not only admire, but to also provide inspiration for the boutique space I hope to have in the near future. I enjoy speaking with people who have journeyed down a path I plan on taking myself, which is why I interviewed Elisa Buratto, the owner of Sugarcube, an amazing boutique in Philly.

I admire Elisa’s eye for vintage clothing as well as the new pieces she picks for the store. The layout of Sugarcube is gorgeous!

The design is woodsy and rustic which gives the space a cozy cabin feel and provides a funky contrast to the hip and colorful textures throughout the store. (Check out the interview and more pictures with Elisa on Fly http://flygirls.typepad.com/fly/boutiques/).

I hope this week’s posts inspired you in some way. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my D*S guest blogging. Thanks, Grace, for allowing me to share my stories and inspirations with D*S, it’s been such a pleasure connecting with you and your readers.
