Allison [in wine country]

I LOVE this place! They have really cute clothes and gorgeous handmade jewelry. And, pretty much every scarf I own is from Allison’s. They carry designers Ella Moss and LA Made (most comfortable clothes ever) and others that I have never seen elsewhere like Hammitt, which are now my all time fav handbags and wallets! On top of that, Allison is so sweet and she offers great advice and customer service.

I discovered these high quality bath products at a hotel I stayed at in the area a few years ago. The products are wonderful and the bars of soap come in at least a dozen scents. They are nicely packaged. Every time I am in the area I stop by and stock up on soap for myself and to give as gifts. Gifts have been well received. A few of the scents are a little too strong for me but there are so many scents to choose from. Some of my favorite scents: sweet basil, jasmine, chamomile.

What a great venue! As soon you walk in, you are greeted with such lovely aromas. It’s a delight to be introduced to a store with wonderful scents. It was my sister’s birthday so we splurged a bit and it was well worth it. They also have books for sale which we also bought. The front desk assistants, Emily and Gatlin, were surprisingly engaging for being on the younger side. What a great place!

This place is amazing. My girlfriend and I stopped in downtown St Helena during our trip to Napa. Between bumping into the Beckhams and Gordon Ramsey, true story, we discovered this gem. The scent as soon as you walk into the store is unbelievable. My girlfriend ended up having to buy another bag to to bring all the soap she bought home. Not only did she pretty much buy out the store, but because there is only so much room on the plane to bring things back, we continue to keep making purchases to renew her supply every couple months or so.
If you’re in the area, stop in and check it out. If you’re looking for a gift for someone who likes soap, nice scents, candles, or bathing, you’ve found the right place.

As you walk in the door, the scent of lavender lingers in the air. It’s reminiscent of a day spa and it heightens your senses, preparing your body for an all over body massage. Sadly, that’s where the party ends.
They have a wide selection of soaps and body scrubs and massage oils (See, they know what I’m thinking) that are rather expensive. We spent $ 35 for a bar of locally grown lavender infused soap and an 8 oz. tub of blood orange olive oil scrub. I couldn’t resist, I just had to have these items. Well that and it was Lizzy’s b day weekend so I was much more likely to hand over the cash than the other 364 days of the year.
Our purchase also gave us a 10% discount card at the St. Helena Olive Oil Co., which is their sister store.

Stumbled upon this gem passing through St. Helena and they had just opened 2 weeks prior at this location. Owned by the same woman as St. Helena Olive Oil Co. these products are just as fresh, fun and good for your body. All products are organic and preservative free and they use the same oils in their products as they sell down the street. The lavender used is grown organically in Napa. Peggy, the owner, was on hand to help choose products and chat. With mostly reasonable prices I picked up a few gifts along with little somethings for myself! Not only are the products wonderful, but the store itself is gorgeously decorated, tres chic, and not stuffed with product that is overwhelming. Absolutely worth a stop by when you’re visiting Napa.
