Resort boutique Pink Soleil debuts on downtown St. Pete's Beach Drive
/A new boutique celebrating the sunny, Florida lifestyle has opened on Beach Drive.
Pink Soleil debuted last week at 400 Beach Drive NE, Suite 146, a space formerly home to Wyland Galleries.
Inspired by Palm Beach, Pink Soleil offers resort-style clothing, accessories, home décor, and gifts. The new boutique carries brands such as Lilly Pulitzer, Sail to Sable, Julie Vos Jewelry, Kenny Flowers, Pink Soleil Home Décor, and more.
Kelly Homman, owner and curator of Pink Soleil said, “Pink Soleil is a beautiful space that makes customers feel bright, sunny and welcome. Each shopper will enjoy the experience of shopping and leave feeling like their best self. We are excited to become part of this community and offer high quality pieces!”
Fashion has always been a part of Homman’s life. After graduating from college with a degree in fashion merchandising, she landed a job as a fashion buyer for a major retailer. She quickly became one of the top buyers in her sector, but her heart yearned for her own business.
Combining her love of dance and business, her first venture was a dance studio in partnership with the YMCA. The program taught her how to run a successful business while also helping children find love and creativity through dance.
Once time came for Homman to retire, she went back to fashion and worked for Kate Spade New York.
“Their excellent customer service, fun team, and exceptional products showed me that the fashion industry is where I belong,” said Homman.
However, it didn’t take long for her to catch the entrepreneurial bug again. Last week, her latest endeavor, Pink Soleil, opened its doors on downtown St. Pete’s famed Beach Drive.
“We are a family business,” said Homman. “My husband Jeff works beside me every step of the way, our daughter Meghan creates one-of-a-kind pieces, and our daughter Rose handles marketing and communications.”
Pink Soleil is open Monday through Saturday from 11:00 am to 6:30 pm and Sunday from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. To learn more about Pink Soleil, visit their website and follow them on Instagram and Facebook.
