When designer Kaeli Smith reached out with an offer that combined two things I love: shopping local & St. Louis, I was thrilled to say the least! She designed a “St. Louis” dress-the pattern is made up of landmarks, the state flower, even the Blues and Cardinals are represented. It comes in two colors and multiple styles. The dress is only available in St. Louis at Rachel’s Grove- 129 Chesterfield Towne Center 63005. While I was at the shop, owner Rachel Forst showed me some other fun looks she has in stock for spring. And I tried out a pair of Mark Jenkins shoes, the “Charm” in a gold wedge. These amazingly comfortable shoes are designed locally here in St. Louis. I wore them to an evening event and my feet felt great all night! Rachel’s Grove has so many darling pieces in store right now, here is a peek:
