Kim Thomas, a Memphis fashion and lifestyle blogger at KPFusion, shares her favorite Memphis shopping boutique picks.

Memphis is well-known for its delicious BBQ and cool blue suede shoes, but there’s something to be said about the shopping scene here as well. Charming boutiques filled with on-trend must-haves and unique finds are prevalent in the heart of the city, so when you find yourself getting out to explore what this city has to offer, be sure to add these independently owned boutiques to your list:

This chic little shop has a carefully curated offering of fashion and lifestyle clothing, accessories and home decor.

 

City & State 2625 Broad Ave Memphis, TN 38112
