Now, here are five more ways\u00a0to #shopSmall for huge style points in the OG (that means ‘original gangster’, mom) of fashionable shopping districts in America – special shoutout to J.L. Hudson.<\/p>\n

1. Tulani Rose<\/span><\/h1>\n

4201 Cass Ave. | Midtown, Detroit | website<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

On the corner of Willis and Cass, just around the corner from Avalon Bakery<\/a>, you won’t find a Tulani Rose sign. Instead, you’ll see a bright yellow marquee that reads “Spiral Collective.” Step inside, take in the scent of Barr and Co. candles and Cellar Door soaps, and you’ll instantly\u00a0begin drooling like one of\u00a0Pavlov’s dogs. Just try not to drool on the art from local Detroiters,\u00a0proudly\u00a0on display in this lifestyle boutique. Sidenote\u00a0– if you buy\u00a0the pineapple soap DO NOT eat it. I repeat, DO NOT EAT IT<\/strong>. It smells exactly like fresh slice of juicy pineapple but I promise you it is truly just the most delightful bar of soap in the world. Lather with caution.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Vera Jane<\/span><\/h1>\n

3011 W. Grand Boulevard | Midtown, Detroit | website<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

This eclectic women’s boutique is nestled in the first floor of the Fisher Building specializes in “refined elegance with downtown decadence.”<\/strong> I’m still\u00a0not exactly sure of what that means,\u00a0but their blissful\u00a0selection of vintage jewelry will blow your mind and fill your heart sunshine and sparkles so who cares? Am I right?<\/p>\n

3. The Peacock Room<\/span><\/h1>\n

15 E. Kirby | Midtown, Detroit | website<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Okay, hold on. Tell me that notebook print scarf you just scrolled past isn’t the cutest thing you’ve ever seen in your life. You can’t. It’s perfect. Just like all of the other handbags, necklaces, hats, scarves and earrings\u00a0that line the tables and walls of the fully-restored Park Shelton where The Peacock Room thrives. Added bonus – they also sell antique furniture and unique artifacts to add some flair to that awe-inspiring\u00a0bedroom of yours.<\/p>\n

4. Nest<\/span><\/h1>\n

460 W. Canfield | Midtown, Detroit | website<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

This little shop\u00a0is the holy grail of every girl’s ~*~Dream Living Room~*~ board on Pinterest. Located just across the street from Shinola<\/a>\u00a0and a flap of the wings\u00a0away from it’s sister store, City Bird, Nest carries home decor provisions that could\u00a0make a pile of twigs look like the Sistine Chapel.<\/p>\n

5. Division Street Boutique<\/span><\/h1>\n

1353 Division Street | Eastern Market, Detroit | website<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Division Street Boutique serves as a home base store front for Aptemal Clothing and the infamous “Detroit Hustles Harder<\/strong>” apparel that can be found in nearly every closet of every\u00a0Motor City\u00a0native or enthusiast. By sponsoring and promoting local artists and hosting live demonstrations and events for the community, Division Street Boutique\u00a0‘hustles harder’ (literally) to positively impact and engage in the Detroit community. How neat is that!?<\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

By the way, before\u00a0you head out for a good ol’ shop-till-you-drop adventure in the D, you should print\u00a0out this nifty full-listing of local shops<\/a>\u00a0courtesy of Detroit Experience Factory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Detroit is blooming with shops, both new and old, for you to explore and earn major style points. I mean, why would you go to the same<\/em> old mall, shop at the same<\/em> old stores and pick through the same<\/em> clothes as all of your friends, when you could feel good<\/strong> and look even better<\/strong> by shopping for that #ootd – nay #ooty (YEAR) – \u00a0worthy ensemble in\u00a0support\u00a0of Detroit?<\/p>\n
