4 Hidden Clothing Boutique Treasures Of South Tampa

Calypso Boutique

Looking for unique clothes can be difficult while shopping at major chains at the International Mall. However, in South Tampa there are a variety of small boutiques that celebrate one of a kind designs. From West-shore to Hyde Park, there is something for everyone!

1. Ashle Gryre Boutique

Located in the strip mall on Howard and Estrella, Ashle Gryre brings a beachy vibe to South Tampa. Filled with pieces ranging from graphic tees saying "rather be at the beach" to maxi dresses in bright colors, there is something for every poolside gathering. They also have deals frequently, so become a member of their email list to have access to these discounts.

2. Haden Reid Boutique

A hidden treasure of Kennedy Blvd. is Haden Reid Boutique. Owned and operated by a native South Tampa resident this store has unique items that encompass the lifestyle of everyone. The wide shoe collection and statement jewelry is reason enough to step into Haden Reid, but the LBD clothing rack is enough to keep coming back.

3. Penelope T Boutique

Bay to Bay Blvd. is filled with little shops, but none are as famous as Penelope T Boutique. Opened as a second location, this store keeps their customers satisfied with new inventory almost every week. This inventory can include blouses, pantsuits, sunglasses, belts, and everything under the sun that is in style. Follow them on Instagram to make sure you don't miss out on new pieces.

4. The Look Boutique

Surrounded by vibrant colored items in modern designs, The Look Boutique is located on MacDill Ave. The large store format is filled with hats, jewelry, and other pieces that make perfect gifts. The medium price point is ideal for high schoolers looking for unique homecoming dresses to stand out amongst their friends as well as trendy school dress code approved items.

While these are just a few popular clothing boutiques, there are still others that have unique and celebrated pieces. However, it is important to shop for one's own style and support the small businesses of South Tampa.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
