Sometimes all you need is a perfect trendy tee and a cozy little island boutique. The Alabama Gulf Coast is the perfect place to live - especially towards the end of summer when most of the tourists have gone home but the sun is still shining and the sand is still warm beneath your toes.


After a day at the beach, what's better than an ice cream cone and a cozy sweatshirt to help with the bite of sunburn? I'll tell you, nothing! So, what's the point of all this jabbering about why I love this time of year in my home?


Tiki Island Boutique

Located in Gulf Shores right under Rita's ice cream, this brand new boutique is the coolest new biz to the area since Our Coffee (the best coffee shop in the south) opened in 2018. Tiki is different from the other boutiques on the Gulf, offering trendy, coastal brands as well as their very own t-shirt line, 32 Mile Island.


32 Mile Island represents the 32 miles of beaches on the Alabama Gulf Coast from Fort Morgan and Gulf Shores to Orange Beach. Add a splash of Comfort Colors material, adorable hand-drawn designs and the perfect colors, and you've got your new favorite go-to tee.


Tiki partners with all your fave coastal brands too - like Pura VidaSun Bum & Sunnylife Australia. One step through the door, and you'll never want to leave. 


Aren't local to the Gulf Coast? No prob. They just launched their online store, and you can keep up with them on Instagram at @tiki.al


Until next time, lovelies! Happy shopping 〰️
