7 Things Our Chattanooga Editor is Loving Right Now

As advocates for small businesses, The Scout Guide editors are continually scouting their communities for local finds to share and celebrate. With their fingers on the pulse, they are also excellent sources for unique recommendations. Recently, we caught up with The Scout Guide Chattanooga editor Amy Walters to find out what she’s really excited about these days. Here, she shares her current obsessions, from a versatile sneaker to the art she’s adding to her collection.

1. WHAT I’M USING

Estelle Colored Wine Glasses from Bud Floral and Home // “These gorgeous glasses are my new favorite way to add color to my tablescapes. You could choose just one colorway, but I prefer to mix and match.”

2. WHAT I’M COVETING

Murray Street Jacket from MILK Boutique //“A blazer is a wardrobe staple for me. I currently have my eye on this stunner thats neutral enough to be dressed up or down, with a shoulder pleat that gives it the perfect amount of pizazz.”

3. WHERE I’M SHOPPING

Fischer Evans Jewelers // “I love browsing and stacking all the bracelets, rings, and necklaces at Fischer Evans Jewelers. Owners Nico and Clarke are so helpful at guiding me to the best pieces to build my collection. This gold and diamond bracelet by Fope is a current frontrunner.”

4. WHAT I’M GIFTING

Curated Gift Boxes from Shophie’s Shoppe // “This chic store is my go-to place to shop for gifts. There are so many customizable options, all wrapped beautifully. The work is already done for you!”

5. WHAT I’M COLLECTING

Hotel Tropical by Ana Guzman from Gallery 1401 // “I’m starting to become more of an art collector, and I’m very drawn to the color and energy of Ana Guzman’s work. It’s so wonderful to have Gallery 1401 here locally to engage with artists from all over the globe.”

6. WHAT I’M LISTENING TO

Renee Rapp on Spotify // “I have her debut album Everything to Everyone on replay. She’s so talented—I really enjoy her show on HBO and would love to see her on Broadway in Mean Girls!”

7. WHAT I’M WEARING

Victoria Juana Sneaker from Chattanooga Shoe Company // “I am very in to pairing a neutral sneaker with dresses, skirts, and really just about anything, but the fun color pops on the Juana make this one stand out. Plus, Victoria is so comfy so it’s my favorite sneaker brand to pack for trips.”
