Dahlia is located just about a block or so from my apartment, and so I pass by often. There is…read morealways something clever and enticing in the window, but I'm on a strict budget while living here to attend business school. I held off going in as long as possible, but eventually, couldn't resist.
I asked about a beautiful necklace in the window and learned that they had a smaller (more practical, I must admit) version for sale also. When, after Christmas, the shop had a sale, I could resist no longer. I had a special trip coming up, and I decided to buy it at a very good price. I learned that it, and in fact, many items in the shop, are unique or small-run items.
My necklace wasn't just stylish and perfect with almost any neckline, it was also very comfortable. When I returned from my trip, I decided to buy the larger, more "evening" version of the necklace too. I had a nice chat with the owner, and I'd hoped to come back to learn more for this review. Haven't heard back yet - maybe another time?
Anyway, I find that Dahlia does carry shoes and accessories that can easily go from day to evening with flair. And when on sale, offer a great bargain, too!
Another reason why Ranelagh is a great place.
