  • South Tampa’s hazel + dot (3714 Henderson Blvd, Tampa) has new Gasparilla finds coming in every day. Stop by for pirate scarves, Gasparilla canvases, multi-colored skull earrings, and pirate onesies and toys for the littlest mateys. Pro tip, follow the shop’s Instagram for merchandise drops. The new stuff goes quick.
