I have two boutique jobs at the moment. Each sell beautifully tempting goods, pretty dresses, desirable jewels and to-die-for styles; but each job could not be more different.
It's funny the office politics, daily dramas, budding friendships, intriguing customers and quality relationships that can form in a place like this. Boutiques are small, quaint, conversation-driven shopping opportunities, and I've found that working in these environments has been both educational and interesting.
Don't get me wrong here though, this ain't forever. I go out of mind in the tedious slow spells. And sometimes feel like I might shoot myself in the brain if I have to tell another person how fabulous they look in an item that I really want for myself. See - I find buying the clothes somewhat counter-productive to working there, even with the discount. I've got bills to pay, and food to buy. And these are boutique prices after all - I'd much rather just go to the Forever 21.
One day I may just own my own boutique. I've always liked that idea. And a restaurant. And an antique store. And a home decor store. My own little empire.
Probably by this time tomorrow in fact.
Pictured above: a typical Monday night at the store - unpacking a whole new load of Spring clothes. Ouch.

{Design Days}
Looking for a little inspiration? Here's a few of the things that have me clicking, and clicking and clicking, all around the web.
More please!
1. A dream home. I love this design - the simple whites offset with the beautiful bright bold patterns. I could live in this space.

2. This website always has beautiful, and affordable, art. I love their section of prints from Paris.
3. This blogpost on Cup Of Jo outlines the five best shoes for traveling. Though I can't quite agree with all of them (especially the moccasins - I'm not a fan), I really like this idea. Add a pair of heels and you'd have the perfect 6 pairs of shoes to travel with (which is certainly better than the 8 pairs I'm currently traveling with!). Oh, and those pumps - based on this recent article - are questionable.
Oh, fashion.
