This place is so cool and eclectic! It's the store that used to be under Elliot's Fairgrounds, but…read morethe lady working said this was a better spot- more out in the open. I loved everything inside, and wanted to buy one of everything! If you're looking for a gift for almost anyone, this is a good spot to check out. The prices were pretty reasonable, but some were a bit pricey (to be expected). I can't wait to go back for another gift!

Shop local like you mean it and you won't be disappointed at Texture!…read more After many years, Texture has relocated out of the quaint house on Baldwin Avenue to serve its customers in a more convenient location just a few blacks down on Colley Avenue. The new location is nestled next to Running, Etc and across the street from Blair Middle School. It boasts ample street parking with a convenient side parking lot for customers as well. A beautiful store-front window is always displayed to perfection bringing window shopping to life during your stroll down Colley Avenue. A charming sidewalk chalkboard sign greets you before you even enter the store. The handiwork on the sign is done by a local artist which speaks to the nature of Texture. As you enter the shop, you will find it proudly supports local artists of Coastal Virginia from Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, and more. I'm always impressed by the jewelry, hand designed greeting cards, pottery, and accessories that the owner finds for the store. She or any other "Texurette" will happily tell you about the origins of any item. The ladies who work in the shop (Texurettes, as they are fondly called) are always friendly and helpful if you are looking for something particular. They offer complimentary gift wrapping in adorable gift bags tied with ribbon. Every time I give a gift in a Texture bag the recipients eyes light up! You will find a price range for every wallet. I have bought $2 hand soaps, hilarious dishes towels for $10 as well as beautiful jewelry in the higher price range. Texture is one of those local shops who truly supports local as well. I love both that they give back to the community and support local artists. It is definitely the ideal place to find a gift for any occasion. They have a baby boutique with one of a kind baby gifts, vintage inspired puzzles, funny gifts such as socks and dish towels, coastal decor, jewelry, handbags, pottery, candles and more. I'm not sure how the owner did it, but the move to their new location only brought more of that local charm with them to Colley Avenue. They are still serving up friendly southern greetings to every customer while making their new shiny store feel ever so welcoming. Kudos!

I was sitting on a bench near this business when Veronica opened her doors with the biggest smile…read moreand asked me to come in. This woman is doing such amazing things with this shop. It's a woman empowerment shop where you can come and buy affordable clothes, accessories and etc. Free gifts: With a purchase, you get gifted some lipglosses, make up brushes and all sort of goodies. Events: She mentioned that they do a lot of events to build community, network and support. They have events like "mommy moments" and "5 after 5", which means that after 5pm everything is 5 dollars. I purchased a cute pair of sandals for 5 dollars. You can tell this is something that Veronica is very passionate about from the way she speaks. I am so happy she invited me in.

Monkee's has moved! It's now in Hilltop area nestled in between Butcher's Son and Roast Rider…read more I liked visiting this upscale ladies boutique when it was in Town Center and I think I'll like visiting it here even more. Easier parking, more to see and do and just in general I love Hilltop shopping center, it's one of the best in town. A friend and I had brunch nearby and were shopping the block and wandered in thinking we'd do a quick loop but we were eagerly welcomed by the two friendly older ladies working inside and easily spent an hour inside looking, trying things on and talking. We had such a good time. I loved the shop - we found SO many cute things. Once or twice around just isn't enough - they have so many interesting designers and patterns and cuts of items. You can easily find something that is $200 for a tank top and then more reasonably priced items as well. They have every style and cut and design and are happy to style for you to help you find the right look. Did I mention accessories like jewelry, shoes, bags, hats, etc.? If you're looking for a few cute new pieces to add to your wardrobe, or need that one special outfit and want to shop somewhere where you'll likely find something not everyone else has, this is the spot for it. 5's all the way across the board based on today's fun experience.

Not even worth one star! Ridiculous prices and whatever you buy you better plan to keep! Don't…read moreshop for gifts. They have an impossible policy for exchanges and returns....7 days!!!! Regardless of if you have a receipt or not 7 days is the absolute limit. I try to return 2 gifts that were purchased for me. For Christmas and my birthday, I did not want money back. I just wanted to exchange it for something else. In the store and they would not honor it. What kind of ridiculous policy is this? They close at 5 o'clock every day and are not open on Sundays. For anyone with a normal job, this makes it impossible to get in there to return anything within a week. I would never shop there for myself. And I pray that I never get another gift from there. ​
