Direct From Big Sky Country

When Trovester Kate opened up The Trove West in her cherished Big Sky, Montana, we were thrilled - not only for her, but also for the treasures she'd find and inevitably share with us here in the Midwest. While she takes some of our Indiana gems out west, she also brings back indie designers and brands we wouldn't otherwise have access to. Scroll through Kate's latest finds to hit #thenoke from Big Sky Country...

Allison Kallaway Jewelry

Spotted at an area market, Kate instantly knew jewelry by local designer Allison Kallaway would be a hit at Trove West and at the mother ship. Known for her strong metalsmithing skills, the designer found inspiration while working for the Peace Corps as an Art Educator in Botswana. Her modern industrial style includes myriad African design elements influenced by her travels.

Blue Moose Metals

Found at a gift show in Billings, Montana, Kate fell in love with these laser cut, hand finished, metal bottle openers, inspired by nature. These functional tools are attractive and comfortable to hold, and the magnetized back means it'll always be within reach. Blue Moose Metals bottle openers make for great gifts for the beer lovers on your list.

Dandy Jewelry

Kate discovered Dandy Jewelry, by artist and designer Andrea Lithgow, at a gift show in Las Vegas. This New Orleans, LA line is the product of childhood crafting. With a love of texture, color and patterns, Lithgow eventually started working with clay, developing one-of-a-kind glazing effects that have become her signature look.

Montana Leather Designs

Montana Leather Designs is a popular and nationally recognized leather brand that Kate enjoys giving as gifts. The fun and colorful leather bracelets are paired with silver plated zinc or pewter beads and clasps and everything is crafted in designer Olive Parker's western Montana studio.

Tania Rodamilans

It's clear we Trovesters are obsessed with great jewelry. From classic styles to statement pieces, and at all price points, we love to stock the coolest and most unique pieces in the land. Our most recent jewelry crush is Tania Rodamilans. Originally from Barcelona, Spain, we ran across Rodamilans in her current city of Chicago, one of our favorite haunts.

Rodamilans' current collection features necklaces with interesting details, pieces that have the power to transform a simple t shirt into a look. With our penchant for neutral, clean cut staples, these pieces add just the dash of pizzazz we want each day.

Come to The Trove to check out what we have in store and then mark June 6th - 8th in your calendar for Rodamilans' trunk show.

For Your Beloved

We Trovesters dig Valentine's Day. We understand some people don't and that's cool, but here's a bit of why we're sweet on this centuries-old holiday... 

The act of showing an extra special amount of love, along with millions more in various regions around the world, is quite simply, downright beautiful. Why shouldn't we take a day to further profess our intense love, or warm affection as the case may be, to our significant others, friends, family, teachers, co-workers and the like? Just thinking of adorable children exchanging handmade cards and sweet, little treats with each other makes our heart swell. Besides, it wouldn't hurt us to spread around a little more love. #justsaying

With all this in mind, we've curated a selection of gorgeous little gifts, for every budget and every taste, to help you show your love and gratitude to your nearest and dearest. And, as always, there's way more in store. 

$50 and Under

 
The Giving Keys Love Necklace ($36) | William Buerkle Initial Necklace + Charm ($34 necklace, $10 charm) | Dogeared Pearls of Happiness Necklace ($42)

$50 - $100

Alana Douvros Pearl Earrings ($100) | Jill Massey Initial Necklace ($55) | Element Druzy Earrings ($82)

$PLURGE

The old maxim remains true: The best presents do come in the smallest of packages. Come to #thenoke or shop our sparkling, brand new online store for the greatest gifts. We'll even help you tie it all up with a pretty bow.

NYE Prep

We know, it's not even Christmas Eve and we're already planning for New Year's Eve. But we take the year's biggest party kind of seriously, okay? 

We're prepping skin for a healthy sheen with decadent body oil by Little Barn Apothecary, getting our essentials in order and topping it all off with a luxurious dose of crushed velvet. 

NYE is the perfect time to shimmer and shine, no matter if you're hitting the town or toasting at home!

Shop with us before you finalize your New Year's Eve ensemble.

Glittering Jewels

We source gilded bits of loveliness from all corners of the planet, bringing them to our little slice of Roanoke. Our massive collection of jewelry features something for everyone (more like 73 various options for everyone). And, we happen to think the best presents come in the smallest of packages. 

Come pick up a piece or two (or 73) for the jewelry lovers on your gift list. We won't tell if you grab a piece for yourself while you're here...

Statement Earrings for Day

One of the quickest ways to perk up your look is with a statement making pair of earrings. For daytime, this can be a little tricky since glitz and glam are more well suited to evening ensembles. But, we've amassed quite a selection of chic statement pieces that work just as easily for both day and night. From gilded wood, lustrous drops of pearls and supple matte leather "leaves", these earrings not only add texture and movement but also help to lengthen and slim the neck area. Even better is that they're light as air (no painful tugging on your delicate lobes)  and won't break the bank (so stock up on a few options). 

Next time your outfit needs a little something extra, slip on a pair of our stylishly bold statement earrings. 

Swing by The Trove to shop our entire inventory of statement earrings! 

Fall Fash

Rich colors, luxurious textures and statement accessories are the evergreen trends for the upcoming Fall season. Stock up on minimalist staples with a twist and grab a few eye-catching finishing touches like chic beaded tassel necklaces and It-girl worthy handbags. 

We love how the right necklace can elevate a simple sweatshirt to uber cool status. 

Bucket bags are all the rage, especially in a rich cognac that just screams FALL!

We love thoughtful, interesting details like a sheer, frayed hem of a classic t shirt, layered under a cushy, cozy knit cardigan.

Multitasking bags (it's a clutch, it's a crossbody, it's a wristlet) in deep leathers are essential for the stylish gal on the go.

We're So Flashy

We Trovesters are a tad unconventional. We quite like it that way. Instead of a traditional online shop (for now), we've created a new Instagram feed for you to love and shop with ease. Follow @trovestoreflash to snag some of our favorite goodies on sale --- with free shipping! We'll be regularly adding new merch so keep your eyes peeled to nab some sweet gems as they become available.

And, as if that's not enough, you can always find our latest and greatest merch on the House Account app. If you're not yet familiar with House Account, it's a fantastic way to shop indie boutiques, like The Trove, from all over the United States. House Account brings all the stylish goodness from these chic boutiques directly to your phone, which means snapping up your latest must-haves is a breeze. Download the app for iPhone here and for Android here and be sure to follow The Trove! 

In the meantime, here's a smidge of what we've been posting over on our flash feed so far...

Spring Style Edit

Spring 2016 is all about supple leathers, natural tones and luxurious fabrics in soft silhouettes for the ultimate in comfort and ease but without sacrificing style. It's boho-chic with a clean, modern twist and we couldn't be happier about what we have in store for you at The Trove. Gauzy tunics pair perfectly with well-worn, well-loved denim. Burnished accessories sparkle against fringed handbags and leather It-Girl sandals that work for day or night. Keep hair and makeup simple, with an emphasis on glowing skin (we can help in that department, too) and you're good to go for a stylish, carefree Spring in the Heartland!
