What a lovely boutique! I've passed this place by quite a few times whenever I've been in the area, but I never thoroughly checked the place out until recently. This shop mainly specializes in clothing and jewelry, but you'll also find a few nifty, unique items that you probably wouldn't expect! (No spoilers!)
We were first intrigued by the sale rack outside - there was a very cute variety of blouses, shorts and pants to check out, and I couldn't resist. My friend had been drawn into the store because of the jewelry she spotted in the display cases. While she looked for a gift for her sister's birthday, I started perusing, and we ended up spending a half an hour exploring the store.
The outfits here have all sorts of designs and colors, and are definitely well-suited for women young and old. The style of clothes give off a Francesca's vibe.
I found great solace in their sale items! There was a sale section in the back (outfits and other things were marked down to 50% off) and it wasn't like a lot of retail stores where the items on sale are just "leftovers" - each clothing item was just as wonderful as anything else you could find in the rest of the shop. I ended up bringing home a very cute denim-type romper and a bracelet for around $32!
The staff was incredibly friendly. In a store like that I almost expected them to have bitter attitudes, but one woman gave me a pleasant comment when I showed interest in the romper I ended up buying, and she was incredibly willing to assist other customers with finding the correct dress sizes for them. We sort of ended up keeping the place open past their closing time, but they weren't upset with it and didn't pressure us to leave quickly.
This place also has an entryway where you can go straight to the shop next door!
I'm going to come here whenever I'm in Ellicottville and see if I can score any sweet deals!
