Hello Gorgeous Boutique & Cafe

I visited during a We love BuHi circular tour, this was our first stop. The owner talked with us about her vision for the store. She wanted to create a space where visitors would feel happy and that would leaving them feeling better than when they came. There is a lot of women's clothing, a lot of local goods and gifts (jewelry, cosmetics, candles, cards, pop up glitter, coin purses, beard shampoo, etc.). The owner mentioned "Usually women don't like jeans shopping, so we made sure to have a lot of fun options to make it more enjoyable." She was so thoughtful toward her customers during her speech, which I think says a lot to the quality of the store. There is a cafe in the shop, as well. All baked goods are prepared in house. They sometimes have brunch available, but I believe it's seasonal. I think I heard that they're soon to have their last brunch for a while. Hello Gorgeous! Is a super cute place to get gifts for yourself or a friend!

A true gem of Chamblee AND all of Atlanta! The owner is fabulous and cares about her community. I love how she supports local artisans by selling their work such as skincare, jewelry, and clothing. There is such a wide variety of gifts for anyone! All are welcome, and you will feel right at home while shopping for any occasion.

This boutique is beyond fabulous for a true fashionista! Very authentic and chic apparel from clothing to eye glasses, purses and pillows for the gal in you!!!. But one of the best things is that the owner, Kim represents local artist from the area to share their jewelry, purses..etc. While giving the proceeds back to charity for the homeless or jewelry beading for women in Africa...and other countries.. I have never seen such a great way to help humanity the way that Kim has her boutique set-up. A very cool concept that I admirer. She is pretty amazing!!!!

I love Hello Gorgeous!!! Here's why: I have been a frequent visitor to this boutique since they had only been in business a few months (owner Kim's social media advertising worked like a charm, haha.) I am also a professional musician in my day-to-day life and have had the pleasure of playing in the shop for a few of Kim's special events, so I have seen the business both as a customer and as a colleague/friend. Kim has become a dear friend of mine over the last couple years and I will absolutely come here over just about anywhere else because I believe in her and in what she's doing with this place. What I can say is this-- GO HERE. Just do it. Find an excuse to get into the city if you don't live nearby, and if you do, how do you not spend all of your money here already? :) Kim has put her heart and soul into crafting a "local oasis" filled with wonderful clothes for all sizes and body types and accessories you won't find anywhere else. She cares about helping every customer find exactly what they're looking for and often things you didn't know you needed until you see them! It's not just a store for women; there are plenty of items for the men in your life as well and stylist Darrius will surprise you with what he can put together. It is also somewhere you can feel truly great about what and who your purchase is supporting. Tons of the wares at Hello Gorgeous are made in America (and many are local to the Atlanta area.) Many of the globally sourced items are fair trade or support local craftspeople and artisans in the regions where they come from. Prices are phenomenally reasonable, with some items being higher end but most absolutely affordable to a variety of shoppers. In modern day America, filled with chain stores, the pressure to keep up with your neighbors by having the exact same items they do but bigger and newer, and the daily onslaught of news about how fast the world is going downhill-- Hello Gorgeous is that brave shop wading boldly against the tide. Embrace independence, difference, color, and life, and come here instead. :) Love you Kim!
