On November 16th, Hoot + Louise hosted Memphis Indie Holiday Market, a small expo for independent vendors. My friend Lauren Carlson with Question the Answer had a booth set up, and the store owner, Anna Avant is such a sweetheart, so I had to swing by to support and do a little early shopping: She has some wooden “diamond” studs that I want (they were sold out!) Muddy’s Bake Shop had some goodies on hand, plus information about catering. They have super yummy cupcakes, and I picked up some of their Peppermint Bark (it was BEYOND). Amelia (Oxford, MS), a home good and homemade jewelry store had a some amazing stationary and decorative gifts on hand. This is only a snapshot of the items they offer. The End of All Music is the ONLY independent record store in Oxford MS. They sell both vintage and new vinyl. I need a record player ASAP because I want to go back and get that The Clash album! Paper + Clay had some nice ceramics on hand for those looking to update their collection. And finally, Memphis Mean Time had some vintage time pieces on hand. They are a repair shop, but they also collect and sell pieces. Finally, I had to share a picture of Anna for a little street style- her cat dress was SOOOOOO cute (it’s from her store, naturally). Whenever you can, get out and shop local. There are so many cool + unique designers and stores out there, and in order for them to keep offering you their awesomeness, they need your support! Oh! And guess what??? They held a raffle and guess who won?! This chick here! *happy dance* I got a lot of cool items, plus some gift certificates, so stay tuned… Beauty Buy | NARS Outlaw Blush Behind the Blog | Laura B. of Walking in Memphis in High Heels
