Don’t get us wrong, we love Target and Urban Outfitters as much as the next girl, but we have a soft spot for small, women-owned businesses who are hustling hard and creating pretty things. So, if you’re inclined to shop small like us, we’re excited to share with you some of our favorite small businesses and beautiful brands.
Gunn & Swain
Nobody does summer better than Gunn & Swain. Its handcrafted Mexican blankets are a beach staple, and it has the coolest vintage and unique home finds.
Heidi Merrick
We’re obsessed with this LA-based designer and her knack for California minimalism. Bonus, her storefront is probably one of the prettiest places you’ll ever visit.
Bohème Goods
Based in Vancouver, we can’t get enough of Sarah and her beautifully curated shop. Luckily for us, she ships worldwide, and we’ve scored some of our favorite vintage finds and home goods from her shop.
Courtney + The Babes
One of our favs for botanical beauty and wellness goodies! We especially love supporting businesses, like this one, where the owner handmakes everything!
DÔEN
It’s a rare day when you find us NOT wearing something from DÔEN. The ethereal tops and dresses are everyday staples.
Maven
If you’re ever in San Diego, be sure to hit up one of Samantha’s favorite local spots. Luckily for everyone else, you can shop the beautifully curated home goods and fashion finds online.
OZMA
If we could live in OZMA jumpsuits every day, we 100 percent would. The designs and fit are so pretty, and everything is designed and produced responsibly in California.
Beatrice Valenzuela
We love everything this designer and artist makes, but if we had to play favorites, her shoes are some of the best on the market.
Apiece Apart
With its effortlessly refined and elevated basics, combined with its inspiring brand message for empowering women, we can’t get enough.
Encourage Vintage
All of the dreamy pastels and vintage treasures your heart desires. The shop owner, Emily Scott, has a serious eye for Pinterest-worthy vintage finds.
