Boutique offers online fashion for those in need

Tell us about your organization:

Our mission is to bring hope and beauty to women and inspire them to transform their communities.

We opened our first BLB boutique in Fayetteville 2016 to serve women in Northwest Arkansas and around the world. With growing demand for our

services, we opened two additional BLB Boutiques in Siloam Springs and Bentonville in 2019.

We exist to serve women in our communities by providing fashionable clothing at affordable thrift prices. Women can shop with us knowing that their purchases are with purpose. As a nonprofit organization, we are committed to share profits and additional merchandise with organizations that are serve vulnerable women and children locally and globally.

To best serve our community at this time, we have closed our doors to in-store shopping and launched a new online shopping platform with convenient curbside donation dropoff and pickup at all three locations. We are here to serve women today in new ways! We are also collaborating with other organizations in Northwest Arkansas to have greater impact for pressing needs at this time.

Our BLB mission is even more vital during this time. We hear weekly from women who are grateful for our online shopping and curbside pickup. Our customers and those we serve are eager for us to open our doors again. We are working hard to be in position to respond strongly and serve even more women in the future in need of our services as a result of the pandemic.

We invite women to join us in our mission to serve women:

• Shop our newly launched online shopping sites. To comply with CDC guidelines, we are not offering instore shopping at this time. Our BLB stylists are posting hundreds of our best items daily at thrift prices and offering curbside pickup from our three locations: shopblbfayetteville.com, shopblbbentonville.com or shopblbsiloamsprings.com.

• Donate new or gently used accessories and spring and summer women’s clothing. We welcome monetary donations as well for operations. Donations are tax-deductible.

• Presently, we are conducting a donation drive for 100% cotton fabrics and elastic at our Fayetteville location. Representatives from the Organizer Chicks pick up these supplies to deliver to seamstresses in the area to make masks.

• We are also selling Beautiful Lives Boutique T-shirts created and donated by

Rebekah Lawrence with The Scout Guide. They sell from the www. shop b lb fayetteville site for $15. You can help share our brand and know that 100% from T-shirt sales is given to one of our nonprofit recipients.

• Share socially. Repost or share about BLB on social media sites. Your voice helps us serve even more women.

• Invite us to share in your community. I enjoy sharing the mission of Beautiful Lives Boutique in businesses, churches, women’s groups and networking groups. In this season of social distancing, I would love to come to your Zoom meeting!
