20 years of style

Despite rumors of its demise, My House of Style, 574 N. Old Woodward, Birmingham, is not only NOT going out of business, the eclectic boutique is celebrating its 20th anniversary offering shoppers fine and fashion jewelry, personal accessories and home accents. “The original concept was a fine and fashion jewelry store,” explained owner Diane Harris. “Over the years, it evolved, and now it’s more of a lifestyle boutique. We still have fine and fashion jewelry – it’s my first love, I have a gemology degree and 20 years prior experience and I blended it into what I believe a store should be.” Over the years, Harris has added unique one-of-a-kind leather bags, handwoven scarves, travel accessories, hand blown glass accessories, pottery, and other home décor, “to turn your house into a home with unique, not cookie-cutter accessories. I generally order only one or two pieces from an artist.” As Harris begins her third decade with My House of Style, she is on the verge of a new concept, bringing in artists’ paintings on canvas to add to her mix. “I’m always trying something new, and what strikes my fancy and that’s what I offer my customers. I want my customers to fall in love.”
