Everyone has that one store that describes their aesthetic, whether they know it or not, and mine is definitely Altar'd State. If you've never heard of this fashionable store, that may be because its locations are largely based on the eastern side of the United States. Or maybe you know about it and you agree that it is definitely your aesthetic. Either way, here is why Altar'd State is mine:
1. The smell.
I don't know what they spray, whether it's a specific air freshener that could be found at Walmart or a hodgepodge of their scents sold in stores, but my Altar'd State location always smells AMAZING.
2. The look books.
On their website, they separate collections of styles (or lookbooks) into their own categories. This makes searching for your style even easier as well as finding other styles you didn't know you liked! This super cute, over-the-shoulder purse is definitely on my radar!
3. The home decor.
They've got everything from signs to decorative pillows to coffee mugs and the like, and everything's absolutely beautiful! Above is a sign that I recently purchased from the store and I LOVE it!
4. The music.

Altar'd State has awesome playlists that they continually update. They even have a Spotify account where listeners can hear all the tunes that play throughout the store.
5. The BOOKS!
Altar'd State is definitely a store that showcases its broad expanses. It's not just a clothing store, nor just a home decor place waiting to be overshadowed by someone else's designs. It's a melting pot, which ensures its success. The books they have throughout the store are wonderful picks from new as well as established authors that speak on empowerment, anxiety, relationships, God, and everything a girl could need.
6. The journals.
I am definitely a journaling girl. Between journaling, church notes, devotionals, and written prayers, I go through paper pretty quickly. Altar'd State's journals (and agendas) are beautiful.
7. The atmosphere.
This is the first and foremost reason that I love Altar'd State. It's a Christian store dedicated to showing Christ's light in a healthy and righteous way. It's also a store that gives back to those in need. Every week, the store picks a different charity to donate some of their proceeds to, and they advertise which charity in each store. Altar'd State's motto is "stand out, for good." That's something that we should all strive to do, no matter our faith or our fashion sense.
And those are seven of the many reasons I ADORE Altar'd State! Check out their website for more information or some awesome buys!
