VH Featured Boutique, Karma

If you like to have fun shopping while combining great style and value, Karma Boutique in Pleasant Grove, UT is your place to shop! The owner Kristi, shown above in our gold tulle slip, is a spitfire of positive energy radiating kindness-truly indicative of her store name Karma. Her ensembles reflect her funky personal style & she has a talent for helping you find yours. Karma carries an eclectic array of accessories and sassy clothes. I was happy to find a local jewelry designer, Annie M was carried there so I could procure a dangley charm bracelet for my sister's birthday. We recently held Kristi's feet to the fire to get the scoop on her store. You can find her jovial answers below, but feel free to stop in the store for great buys and a fun new friend!

It really depends on the day and what CD I am listening to. But, I can never get enough of Jericho Road's "You Melt the Madness"



If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be?
My power would be to have enough energy to get everything done on my to-do list and cater to my kids and spend quality time with my hubby (isn't that the truth, that should come along with being a mommy).

It would definitely by my children (Aawww)


If you could live anywhere, where would you live?
North Carolina -I love that place!



What is your best secret (that you're willing to share)?
I have more than one- so I will let you choose.
When I walk into a clothing store, the first place I go is the Clearance racks
I am addicted to HGTV and a lot of the decor in my home is either re purposed from the DI or built by me (with my hubby's help)
When I feel like I need a inspirational pick-me-up, I browse Quilted Bear or Tai Pan Trading
If I feel like I am feeling pity for myself, I go do something for someone else (other than my family) (We liked them all Staci so we shared them all, hope you don't mind!!)



What is your favorite Vintage Hem?
It all depends on my mood that day. But, I do tend to grab the Dot the Great more often.
