After a conversation about the place to a friend who shops here regularly, I came to learn just how close it actually was to Philly, and that I pass by the area fairly often. Finally stopped in yesterday and fell in love! Such an awesome boutique packed with goods for anyone from babies to adults! I had no idea they had a completely separate womens' shop! Adorable evil eye bag, embellished denim jackets, rock tees, and small simple necklaces were my favorite items in there. The childrens' section which is attached, but a different room, is such a great place not only for special items for your own child, but for awesome gifts for any child, boys included! Dori Creation leggings, Rowdy Sprouts, tie dye and bling goods were my favorite pieces for kiddos. Grateful Dead and other hippie shirts too! Some trendy toys, fun duffle and cool bags, headbands, even personalized camp swag. Items even for those picky to cool for school tweens! I wasn't too proud to shop the sale rack and bin and even found some cute goods there too! Cheap! Like $10 ana half price! Customer service I found to be wonderful! Not stuffy at all like some boutiques can be. Allison and another women who's name I didn't get were super helpful and sweet. All around great experience! I've been looking for a replacement of my old favorite childrens' boutique which shut down a few years ago. So happy to have finally found it! Yay! Can't wait to head back again next week when I'm in the area again and I have more time to shop!!

My niece happens to rep one of the lines and to see it there I was so proud! Allison is never pushy and often times I just walk in before I get my Grandson from school to just look around. She shows me the sales in addition to the other clothing. She knows the exact sizing as I tell her each of my Grandchildren's sizes. I never feel as if I have to purchase anything. This young woman is an asset .I can picture her in NYC one day being a buyer. Gorgeous inside and out....

Given the explosion of small,…read moreindependently owned, well-curated boutiques popping up throughout our fair city, I was hoping that something similar would find it's way closer to my home. Something that doesn't cater strictly to CHA moms, that has a contemporary yet vintage vibe, that is understated yet unique. Style Camp is akin to a small gallery where the pieces have been carefully chosen to incite that "oh I don't need it, but I totally want it" reaction from anyone passing by. The focus is on local, made in the USA goods that will add just the touch of luxury you've been craving. I love the Vic face and body cloths, the dainty seed-bead necklaces and soft-as-a-kitten scarves. Mother-daughter owners Bitsy and Natalie Rhoda have brought in unique items - a line of body products made by a young woman in Malvern, sumptuous leather goods, everyday denim, chic eyewear, and Rifle Company stationery goods. Style Camp is a great place to spend that next paycheck.

I really appreciate that they don't push you to buy clothing, or even try it on. They are laid back and comforting. I love their selection of casual t-shirts/layers and am in awe of the unique shirts, pants, and jumpers/dresses they have each season. I LOVE the simplicity of the store and the aesthetic of the clothes they pick. It's clean and unique clothing and of very high quality. Highly recommend this little store if you're looking for a simple statement piece that is flattering or looking for comfortable and practical clothing. Only thing is the clothes are fairly pricey--especially for a grad student. But it doesn't stop me from appreciating the clothes and hoping a favorite goes on sale!

The doors were opened and there were balloons and decor and music playing if I recall correctly and there were people gathered inside and flowing onto the outside. I was first greeted by the owner's mother and then by other guests attending the opening day festivities that evening. It was such a nice surprise. I received a whole run down of how the shop worked and was able to make a candle for myself from scratch. It was so delightful to get to meet new and interesting people. I did not know anyone there and Beth the owner, along with her friends and family made me feel so welcomed. What I love most is the premise of the business. Each candle has an affirmation on it . I think I have tried all of them except for "Daring" and gifted one to my parents. The idea is that scent is linked to emotion and memory and that you connect positive experiences and affirmations via the scent to elicit this happy hormone response within your body. I recall her telling me that her sister was the one who was able to speak to the science of it and she (Beth) was the brains behind it in terms of creating scents and the affirmations. I have to say that those candles really helped me immensely, especially during a time that I needed encouragement and motivation the most. I started out using them in Philadelphia and then ordered from the store to have them shipped to me when I lived in Virginia. I would light the candle and then meditate on the affirmation that was printed on the label. It doesn't go without saying that the candles themselves smell absolutely amazing. They aren't like generic or overly nauseating by any means. All of the scents are natural and not overpowering or overwhelming. Some are a bit stronger than others. My particular favorite is "Radiant" because it has notes of grapefruit and peppercorn. It has the revitalizing scent to it whereas my other favorite is "Connected". That one has this softness to it that reminds me of a subtle musk with a powdery touch. I also like that there are custom made matches you can order as well. I felt lucky that they were included with my order complimentary on that grand opening day. It has been maybe about a year or so since ai first ventured into that store and I have been hooked on those candles ever since. So much so that I feel reluctant getting other kinds. I used to be a devout Sand & Fog fan, Bath and Body Works Candle Sale fan, and Voluspa fan, but now I prefer State of Being candles more than those. You can just tell they are high quality candles and I am a fan. They are a bit costly, but you get what you pay for so they are a good value I think. The scents last for a long time. Some scents are more powerful than others, but I prefer the fragrance to be somewhere in the middle, enough to make me notice is there, but no so strong that it is overpowering. You can tell that they are made with love and that is what I appreciate the most. The good vibes and energy that go into them when they are made. I like to think that when I light them up, that good vibes and energy are radiating out from them:) And it acts like energetic medicine ^_^ So, I will continue to buy from them as long as I can afford them lol but highly recommend! They also apparently do workshops and other fun events now as well. I am subscribed to their newsletter so I get to hear all about what I am missing out on lol but if you are ever in Philly and in the area, I encourage you to stop by if you are into fragrances at all, into spiritual/metaphysical stuff like me, and wish to be in good company. Beth and her family will make sure to treat you with the same respect, care, and attention that she puts into her candles:) Unfortunately, I did not take any photos while I was there in the store, but hopefully my review can give you a good idea of what to expect. Update: 8/15/24-My candle (their newest one) got delivered today and it smells amazing as always. I have it lit and placed next to my vision board that I made at a workshop that I did a few months back..felt like it would be the proper place for it, but finally was able to snap a pic and add to my review:) Will continue to buy more in the future as I am a loyal fan/customer as these candles have helped evoke much positivity in my life
