Hey ladies! I am Krista, owner of Oh Grace Boutique. In the past twenty years I ventured out of retail, became a wife and mom, and had a successful career in Human Resources. I find a lot of reward in that profession and don’t plan on stepping away anytime soon, but have dreamed of opening a boutique. This journey is in partnership with some special gals - my daughter, Sydney, and niece, Kaitlyn, are part of the brains and beauty of the boutique. We are learning and laughing a lot along the way!

In 2022 we started Oh Grace as an online boutique and have done a lot of pop-ups and markets over the past two years. August of 2024 we got the opportunity to open a storefront and decided to take the leap. We got the keys on September 1st and opened by September 6th.... those 5 days were long days of prepping inventory, merchandising the store, fixing multiple things that went wrong, and everything in between. We have to give a huge kudos to my husband for being so amazing during that week, we wouldn't have been able to do it without him. 

Opening the storefront was a huge step in our journey, and I am grateful we decided to take the chance. We've met so many amazing ladies and have started to grow great relationships with them. Our passion is to help women find stylish pieces that make them feel beautiful and confident. When you come into Oh Grace, we hope you feel right at home with our friendly team that's ready to help you find what you're looking for! Next time you're in Cedar Rapids, come visit us, we'd love to see you! 

Where did the name Oh Grace come from?

Here’s the story… I am the youngest of 8 kids. My mom let my oldest sister name me Krista, but if my mom would have named me - I would be named Grace. As I grew up there were times that my mom would say “Oh Grace” as I spilled milk or did made an oops (cause I never got in trouble ;-)). So it's stuck with me and is now a way to honor the name my mom would've picked for me!
