Like many students, Kate Compton said she found her dream job while attending college. As the Boerne native began courses to become a physical therapist, she took a job in a local boutique.
“I ended up managing the boutique and completely loved it,” she said. “I was really good about fashion merchandising, and [the career] clicked.”

Compton is the owner of Eve Couture, a women’s clothing and accessories boutique with three locations across Central Texas. In June, the Westlake shop will celebrate its first anniversary.
“I looked [for a store site] in Austin for a really long time,” Compton said. “I looked downtown [and] at the Domain, [but] everything seemed so commercialized and not the small-town feel that I like. Somebody told me about this Westlake space, and I immediately loved the area because it has the same feel as a small community.”
