Spring Break is here and we can hardly contain ourselves! In our suitcase this year, you'll find stylish resort staples, a multitasking beauty balm and a charming book by local author, and all-around cool chick, Erin Loechner. Toss an actual camera (yes, they still exist) into the hippest fringe bag and take off!

Introducing the Trove Ambassadors

We've partnered with five dynamic, young and local ladies who adore style as much as we do. You might have seen them popping up in our social media feeds or even in store. Led by our marketing intern, Jessica Carroll, our Ambassador program is meant to provide inspiration and opportunity for them as well as for us Trovesters. We'll be regularly sharing their favorite things from our shelves as well as their perspective on style. This is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Anna Ekdahl

"I'm a junior at Homestead High School, a volunteer in the children's department at my church and love going out for dinner with loved ones. When I was younger, I lived in England for two years and traveled around Europe and Africa with my family! I'm loving all the beautiful pearl pieces in The Trove's jewelry department right now."

Grace Lehmann

"I'm a freshman at IPFW in Fort Wayne, transferring to study architecture at Ball State’s College of Architecture and Planning next Fall. Personal is about creating art within yourself. My style is just like my personality, all over the place! I'm especially into the collection of tops and blouses at The Trove right now. So many great, casual yet stylish looks."

"I'm graduating from Bishop Dwenger High School and will be attending IPFW in the Fall. I love being creative and having fun with my friends and family, as well as making others laugh and smile. My current fave from The Trove is Little Barn Apothecary's coffee and mint body scrub. It leaves your body feeling incredibly soft and moisturized and the scent is the perfect pick-me-up."

"I'm a Senior at Homestead High School, attending Ball State University in the Fall, to study Journalism and Marketing. I spend most of my time with a book in one hand and coffee in the other, but enjoy doing anything outside, spending time with friends hiking and exploring. My favorite product from The Trove is anything and everything POL - there isn't a piece I don't love."

Raegan McComb

"I'm a freshman at Ball State University, studying Telecommunications with a focus on video production. I have a passion for photography, hiking and generally spending time outdoors and I just can't get enough time with dogs. My favorite piece from The Trove is the amazingly soft Barefoot Dreams zip hoodie because it feels like I’m hugging a cloud when I wear it!"

 

The future looks bright!

Refresh and Revamp for 2017

Late last year, we started making plans for a revamp of The Trove; a makeover, if you will. After a handful of years in business, we felt it was time to shake things up, move things around, clear some space and make room for new obsessions. We're doing this in the digital realm as well, but that's a story for another time. 

We Trovesters have been busy bees this month, executing our carefully laid plans and coming up with new ideas on the fly. We've expanded our clothing category, given our fab selection of shoes a new, more shop-able display (look for a new outstanding summer line to be added here too!) and curated our massive jewelry selection into a dazzling array. Our ever-growing men's department, as well as our sweet and soft children's department, and our home and gift categories, received updates as well. Whew! 2017 is off to a very productive start.

Come shop the latest and greatest in clothing, accessories, home decor and gifts. And if you need extra incentive, we have two racks loaded with fantastic clothing at 50% off and a selection of shoes at 30% off!

You simply must come see us in #thenoke.

An Elegant Start to 2017!

We believe there's just nothing like writing with a beautiful ink pen on fine papers. What's more, resolutions, goals, dreams, whatever you want to call them, have more potential to stick if you put them down on paper. Kick off 2017 with a stylish new journal, notebook or calendar.

Come shop our collection of fine papers, beautiful, handmade pens and stylish desk calendars. Start 2017 as you mean to go on, with glamour!

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...

Yonder

There's almost nothing more classically American than jeans and a T shirt. While some are too boxy, too stiff and corporately bland, it only takes looking at images of James Dean and Jackie O to see how stylish, and enduring, a simple T shirt can be. Modern options are softer than you can imagine, in cuts that flatter multiple body types and with designs that inspire, making the once humble T shirt a staple of the modern wardrobe, which can be styled in myriad ways.

Yonder T shirts are all of the above and we're thrilled to carry the brand in store. Blasting Hoosier pride with style and comfort makes us Trovesters incredibly happy! We pair ours with our favorite denim and booties, with oversized boyfriend cardis, leggings and ballet flats and even under a crisp blazer with heels. And, quite frankly, we're hard pressed to change out of our well-loved and oft-worn T's, so you'll find us cuddled up on our couches in them, too. 

Come shop our current selection of yonder t shirts. they make for great gifts for hoosiers, hometown and beyond!

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! 

Backpack, Backpack!

Channel your inner Dora the Explorer and go hands-free with a durable and stylish backpack that also gives back to children in the developing world, who don't have access to meaningful or safe education opportunities. ESPEROS donates a percentage of each sale to help fund global education efforts so your purchase helps bridge this very wide educational gap. 

 

Designed in Austin, Texas, ESPEROS bags feature water and stain resistant, military-grade canvas, thoughtful and stylish details like their signature railroad stripe lining and cleverly placed pockets. The bags are machine washable and the cotton canvas material, free from harmful chemicals and dyes, gets more unique and better looking with use and age. These ethically manufactured totes and backpacks are clean and classic and work for students, adventurers and professionals alike.
