Favorite Stores in Flagstaff

Live in or visiting Flagstaff?  Here is a list of my favorite stores in Flagstaff that every girl should know and love!

Name:  Old Town Shops

Address:  120 N Leroux St, Flagstaff, AZ 86001

Growing up in Arizona, my family and I visit Flagstaff all the time.  Every time we are in town, I make sure to go downtown to my favorite Old Town Shops which include three of my favorite Flagstaff stores:  Basement Marketplace, P.J. Chilcottage, and Black Hound Gallerie.  

Name: Basement Marketplace 

Style:  Hipster, Grunge, Glamour 

Sells:  Clothes, Jewelry, Bags, Shoes, Scarfs, etc.

I fell in love with Basement Marketplace the second I found it.  Its unique location (underneath the Old Town Shops) and setup create a one-of-a-kind shopping experience.  The young, lively staff are always nice and say hello to every customer.  The store carries such a wide variety of style I can always find items that add to my closet.  I definitely recommend the Basement Marketplace!

Name:  P.J. Chilcottage

Style:  Feminine, Classy, Preppy, Fun

Sells:  Clothes, Accessories, Cards, Soap, etc.

P.J. Chilcottage is a bright, happy store that has the most adorable merchandise.  The clothes are feminine, fun, and great quality with reasonable prices.  The selection of apparel covers two walls of the store, but every time I come back it seems to keep expanding.  The store also sells an array of necklaces, earrings, belts, purses, cards, soaps, pajamas, and a bunch of other things girls love.   P.J. Chilcottage is a definite must-stop.

Name:  Black Hound Gallerie
Style:  Funky, Punk, Retro
Sells:  Clothes, Books, Accessories, Souvenirs

Black Hound Gallerie is a lot different from the other two stores.  The other two stores are aimed towards females only, but this store has merchandise for girls and boys.  Not only do they sell clothes, but they also sell accessories, books, posters, gag-gifts, mugs, etc.  The store almost reminds me of a classier Spencer's. It is always fun to shop at Black Hound, because the environment is entertaining and the employees are friendly.

Name:  Shoes & Such Boutique 

Address:  17 East Aspen Ave, Flagstaff, Arizona 86001

Style:  Feminine, Classy, Current

Sells:  Clothes, Accessories, Shoes, etc.

My fourth favorite store, which happens to be right around the corner from The Old Town Shops, is Shoes & Such Boutique!  I couldn't have been more thrilled when I found this store.  I dragged my whole family in with me once I saw the window display.  The employees are happy and helpful, while the merchandise is adorable and reasonably priced.  They have a great selection of up-to-date styles, an abundance of accessories including jewelry, scarves, bags, hats, etc., and an awesome array of shoes.  I can't wait to go back to Shoes & Such Boutique!

My Style: Hand of Peace

Today's Look:  is all about the shirt which features the Hand of Peace and Eye of Truth.  The shirt's intricate design stands out with thick black lining and gold detailing on bright turquoise material with a jersey cut. Matching the black on the shirt, I wore my black skinny jeans and suede ankle boots.  Since the outfit is mostly turquoise, black, and gold, I wore a very colorful bag that features reds, greens, yellows, blues, and even white. Finishing off the look, I accessorized with gold/turquoise earrings and two rings.  

Outfit Details:  Shirt by Fifth Sun at Target (Prescott, AZ), Pants by Else at Macy's (Scottsdale, AZ), Boots by Steve Madden at 6pm.com,  Earrings by With Love from California at Pacsun (Tucson, AZ).

Fashion Tip:  Black boots with a slight heel worn with black skinny jeans help lengthen as well as slenderize the appearance of your legs.  

My Style: Leather & Lace

Today's Look:  is all about my new Steve Madden Thundr-C boots.  The boots are made with tan leather and have a unique crochet detailing on each of their sides.  To match with the off-white coloring of the crochet panels, I wore my loose-fitting, off-white Free People shirt.  The shirt has lace all down the front that dresses up the casual cut.  Finishing off the look, I wore charcoal skinny jeans, a tarnished-gold heart pendant necklace, and my CA beach bag. 

Outfit Details:  Shirt by Free People at Saks Fifth Avenue (Tempe, AZ), Jeans by Express at Express (Scottsdale, AZ), Boots by Steve Madden at 6pm.com, Necklace by Forever 21 at Forever 21 (Scottsdale, AZ), Bag by Rising International (San Diego, CA), Earrings by Earth Bound at Earth Bound Trading Co. (Sedona, AZ). 

Fashion Tip:  A girl can never have too many boots.  

My Style: Paisley & Crochet

Today's Look:  is all about the patterns of the multicolored dress and the off-white crochet crop-top.  The dress has a wild paisley design with flowers of all different shades of blue along with specs of green, yellow, and white.  The crop-top has a crochet pattern of leaves and flowers.  Since the dress is sleeveless, I wore the crop-top over the dress to add modesty as well as style.  To add a little edge to the sweet ensemble, I wore a thick, dark forest green bracelet covered in tarnished-gold metal studs.  Finishing off the look, I wore my fringed purse, navy thong sandals, and metal feather tarnished gold earrings.  

Outfit Details:  Dress by Forever 21 at Forever 21 (Scottsdale, AZ), Top by Express at express.com, Purse by Steve Madden at Nordstrom (Scottsdale, AZ), Sandals by Mossimo at Target (Prescott, AZ), Earrings by Earthbound at Earthbound Trading Co (Sedona, AZ), Bracelet at Target (Prescott, AZ), Nail Polish by OPI at Sally Beauty Supply (Prescott, AZ).

Fashion Tip: Sweet dresses are always a must during summertime.   

My Style: Animal Print Maxi Dress

Today's Look:  is all about the animal print maxi dress.  The dress is a light shade of tan with splotches of orange, black, brown, and gray all over it.  To make the dress casual, I covered up the spaghetti straps with a light, white blouse.  The blouse made the dress have a boho-chic flare and also more modest.  To pull out the brown flecks in the dress, I wore my brown suede fringed purse and leather boots that match.  Finishing off the look, I accessorized with metal feather earrings, two bracelets, and two rings.

Outfit Details:  Shirt by Naranka at Basement Martketplace (Flagstaff, AZ), Dress by Under Skies at Basement Marketplace, Purse by Steve Madden, Boots by Splendid at Clothing Hound (Prescott, AZ), Earrings by Earth Bound at earthboundtrading.com (Sedona, AZ).

Fashion Tip:  Wearing ankle boots with maxi dresses is the latest trend.  Boots add a roguish touch to the feminine outfit. 

My Style: Denim & Tulle

Today's Look:  is all about contrasting the delicate tulle skirt with the denim shirt.  It was my cousin's college graduation day, and my whole family attended.  Since it was a short ceremony at a community college, the dress code was casual. I still wanted to look well dressed for the occasion, so I definitely wanted to wear a skirt or dress.  I first chose the white floral skirt, then the denim top that tucked neatly underneath.  To match the black waist line on the skirt, I chose to wear my black military boots and opaque tights to finish off the look.  

Outfit Details:  Skirt by Moon Collections at P.J. Chilcottage (Flagstaff, Arizona), Top by Mossimo at Target (Prescott, Arizona), Boots by Steve Madden at nordstrom.com, Tights by Merona at Target, Necklace by BP. at Nordstrom (Scottsdale, Arizona) Purse & Earrings by Betsey Johnson at betseyjohnson.com.  

Fashion Tip:  When buying a denim top try to pick one that is of good quality but also thin.  Thin denim tops are cooler, more flattering, and easier to tuck in.
