Chances are you've driven down Woodward and passed by a really cute boutique without even realizing it. You've probably even caught it out of the corner of your eye but haven't yet stopped in. And that's a shame because the Hire Wire Girls is chock full of clothing and accessories that you will fall in love with.

The Royal Oak location opened about 5 years ago. Owners Kara Laramie and Lisa Masters created a boutique that is both inviting and fashion-forward. They have some of the best t-shirts I've ever seen. The "Detroit Girl" tee is a popular item that sells out quickly, but the super friendly staff will order one just for you. Another favorite is the "Pick Your Poison" with pictures of a martini glass, shoes, and ice cream.

Other than must-have t-shirts they have jewelry for every occasion, handbags that will take you from day to evening, cards that say what's on your mind, and everything else you can think of that will make your home and your life trendy. Co-Owner Kara Laramie says, "I tell people it's a place where you can go and get a unique, affordable, always-fun gift that is immediately adored and coveted by all."

But the best thing about the shop is how you feel when you walk in. "A very regular customer of ours described the store as a place you go into alone but immediately feel as if you are shopping with a friend," says Kara. So the next time you're driving down Woodward stop in and see the friends you just haven't made yet.
