The shop has a variety of merchandise for sale and doubles as a pottery studio. I purchased a pair of earrings and a couple of stickers, totaling $29.09. I love my earrings and wore them as soon as I left the store. The staff member who helped me was lovely. They answered all my questions. I had a great experience shopping around and would recommend this store! Parking is free, and there are plenty of walkable shops all around.

The shop is absolutely darling and well curated for all ages. The store is laid out extremely well that you can see alot and navigate all of the gems inside with ease. Not overly cluttered with goods but a really impressive amount of items at the same time. The name is fitting and feels very feminine and girly. I love that they have a variety of dresses, pants, tops, accessories, jewelry you name it. The owner was so sweet and very helpful. Customer service was a 10/10. She helped set up a fitting room for me and even brought alternative items for me to look at and try on when one dress didn't work for me. Seriously such a sweet and lovely woman, love supporting local when the staff/owners appreciate the tourists coming through. Prices were fair and some items were discounted which was nice. I snagged a kimono which was beautiful black and sheer with cherry blossoms and cranes. I total steel of a deal too!

Upon entering you don't know where to look first. So many little niches of various items, styles, colors, accessories and Phyllis has them sectioned off into little themes- like one area specializes in ladylike Victorian under things and nightgowns. Phyllis is the proprietor/buyer and has an eye for unique, stylish, creative and eye-catching fashion. Everything from butter soft jeans to sandals, hats, blouses, dresses, jumpers, jewelry, mix-n-match flattering designs, all displayed in a comfortable setting where you can shop in peace, two fitting rooms with comfy chairs for your spouses / friends to sit when you emerge to ask their opinion. I loved the jeans Phyllis chose- white, soft, not overly clingy but comfortably so, and she suggested other colors which I had to buy because I knew I would regret it, especially with the friendly price tags. It was so much fun to shop there! Thank you Phyllis for all your great suggestions, kind words and being the perfect beautiful gracious brand of Idyllwild!
