Katie Newton, editor of The Scout Guide Atlanta, is not only an influencer in her city, but an advocate for local businesses as she Scouts and shares her finds. Here are a few of Katie’s current faves—from the luxe sweater that will carry her into spring to the expertly curated gift shop that stocks something for everyone. Shop her picks and give these Atlanta small businesses a little love.

1. WHAT I’M GIFTING

Gift boxes from 211 to Waterloo | “I adore these boxes. You can choose a ready-to-order option or customize them yourself. They include such quality items and come in the chicest packaging. It makes it so easy to find a gift for someone, personalize it to their tastes, and send it right to them (bonus that they ship nationwide).”

2. WHAT I’M OBSESSED WITH

Tela Mercantile’s Kaftans | “These kaftans are incredibly stylish and comfortable. I love how versatile the silhouette is and that there are so many different patterns and colors. The newest collection, Endless Summer, is so good!”

3. WHAT I’M WEARING

4. WHAT I’M USING

Scallop Bath Hand Towels from Weezie | “Once you try towels from Weezie, you won’t want to use anything else. They are incredibly soft and look great hanging in your home. Best of all, they can be personalized with the most stunning embroidery.”

5. WHAT I’M DECORATING WITH

Cameo Porcelain Vases from Gramercy | “These vases are adorable, and have the power to elevate any floral arrangement. I switch between using them together or separately throughout my home to add a little interest to my decor.”

6. WHERE I’M SHOPPING

Odd McLean | “Visiting this store is quite the treat! Everything they offer is eclectic and fun. As someone who gravitates towards bold colors and patterns, I could spend hours browsing the expertly curated selection here. I’m happy to report that if you’re not local to Atlanta, their online selection is just as grand.”
