Take two things I love â€" Tacoma, and boutiques â€" mix ‘em together with a little bit of liquid spirit, and call me in Heaven!
Love Tacoma’s Hipster Boutique Tour covered some mileage with a mix of Link and good old-fashioned foot power, attended by about 12 Beautiful People (one of whom was male, and appeared to be loving the True Religion jeans at Rocky & Coco’s).
At Dame Lola, the shopping got serious, with the work Zoobilee thrown around with frequency and force. I loved hearing Rebecca’s wisdom on the trends, and the subsequent moments of “Ohmygosh, this is THE dress!!â€
I loved the boutique-oriented conversations, like the exclamations about how fab Tiki Lounge is (pity its distance â€" really not far at all, but considering the hour and the close-proximity boutiques we covered, it put us out of walking range) and other enthusiastic, Tacoma-loving moments.
Especially fun, talking to two lovelies from Boston â€" one a recent transplant, one just visiting â€" whose positivity about the city made me glow with pride. They had a pretty amazing basis for comparison after all.
Junior Bizarre and urbanXchange were also covered in the tour, with a stop off at 21 Commerce after all the shopping love was over. But for me, I had a kid and a curfew so had to call it an early evening, pity, pity, pity, for I could have shopped and reveled in Tacoma Love all night. â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
