Their selection of elegant dresses is outstanding, with so many beautiful options that it was easy to find the perfect dress for such a special occasion. What truly sets this boutique apart is the staff. They were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They made the experience feel less like shopping and more like a fun and memorable day out. If you are looking for exceptional service and a stunning dress selection, I highly recommend Queen's Lace!

Absolutely rude, insanely rude!!! I can't believe they're still in business. Their dresses are very…read moreold and most of them are very worn down. There might be 40 dresses at most when looking through your sizes. The dresses were expensive and lots of them gave a "trashbag" look. The lady "Barbra" that helped us used the phrase "well now i'm waiting for ur opinion" in a snobby tone, because I had told her before what I had and hadn't liked. This was very upsetting and made everyone in our group feel very insecure. If you've made it this far... go to Carrie Karibo. We were also rushed through the appointment and were only able to try on 8 dresses during the appointment. We went over to carrie karribo and we tried on over 20 dresses.

The store had an insane deal so I was excited to pop in. At the time, there was a $5 and $10 shirt/pants/scarf selection and several mystery tees for adults and children.

Teams you'll find are from colleges, Reds, Bengals, FCC, Cincinnati Zoo, local breweries, pubs, Cincy businesses... these guys are huge supporters of all things local!

They carry a range of sizes, but I did find a little less selection in the small ranges on the day I was there. I'll definitely go back, especially when they have another sale.

I have followed them on Instagram for awhile and finally checked them out today, motivated by 65% off the entire store! The store is not big and is definately more focused on dressier items (there were maybe 3 pairs of jeans). I bought 3 blouses and 4 sweaters for $30, you can't beat that! They take both cash and credit. The employees were friendly and parking super easy. Plug the address in your GPS, as it's little tricky to find behind the strip mall. I'll be back for sure.

During the Montgomery Holiday Open House, Downtown Girl was one of my must-sees on my list…read more Unfortunately, I was delayed by a massive traffic incident and most of the shops were closing by the time I reached town. I stopped by Downtown Girl just as Ute (pronounced oo-tah, she's German) and her husband Tom were closing up. I told them my story and they insisted I come in for some shopping. With a flip of the switch, the lights were on and music was playing. Downtown Girl carries all sorts of accessories for the feminine urbanite: from Fleur-de-Lis necklaces to soft, furry scarves, bright handbags, and intricate jewelery. If you're looking for a statement fashion piece, you will find it here. Everything sold in Downtown Girl is hand-selected by Ute. You'll definitely be getting a one-of-a-kind accessory and for a very reasonable price. I purchased several glass nailfiles as gifts for my best girlfriends. Ute provided wrapping for each individual item, complete with bright violet tissue paper, a filigree gift bag, and a sticker with her shop's logo. All my gifting needs were cared for under one roof. Downtown Girl has been in Montgomery for the past seven years. Recently, Ute expanded to the building next door, creating a sister shop: Uptown Girl, which carries clothing and posh accessories. http://www.yelp.com/biz/utes-uptown-girl-cincinnati Both Ute and Tom were the most friendly, genuine store owners. They even walked me to my car after locking up the store (again) to make sure I was safe. Now that's compassionate service!

Soho? Noho? Nah, just Boho…read more There is a more subdued vibe in the Downtown Girl location compared to the Uptown Girl shop. The colors are muted, the apparel is understated and the jewelry looks more organic with lots of beads, natural stone and ceramic pieces. It's much more Serena than Blair. But oh my gosh, they have some to-die-for knits here! Do you ever find yourself watching a well-styled movie or TV show and you're thinking, "that's the outfit I want! It's so effortless and chic." This is exactly the place where you will find those effortless and chic looks. I'd head back in here before sweater season officially arrives to find some truly unique items.

I highly recommend coming here for the FC. The inventory here includes styles suitable mostly for the 18-25 year old set, but I did find some things I would consider more age-appropriate for myself as well. The boutique was having a 15% off entire inventory promotion when I was there, but other than that, everything mostly goes for MSRP. They do have a few sale racks in the front where everything is $30. I highly recommend sifting through these racks as there were some nice garments hidden between the oddly-sized, oddly-patterned cast offs. You can also find apparel by Splendid, Kensie, Joe's Jeans and Citizens of Humanity.

Macys Backstage has now taken over a great deal of the second floor of the Anderson Towne Center Macys. There are small sections of womens/juniors clothing, mens clothing, shoes, purses, homegoods, and some beauty. It is supposed to be discount. Prices are ok, but considering some of the higher end brands that Macys tend to carry, there never seems to be many name brand items. If you are shopping downstairs at the regular Macys it is worth checking out at least once, as long as your expectations are not high. I really wish they would have just continued to use this space for the regular everyday Macys.

True to form, they offer much of the same kitchy nick-nacks many of the locals might try and sell you in Arusha except at better prices! The shoes as soon as you walk in are probably the one exception to this which I found to be more expensive. In Tanzania these same shoes cost about $3.00 with bartering. However, they are unique and one of kind so spending a little extra might be worth it. The clothes selection in the back has quite an array. Sadly, most of them are not truly authentic. The ones that are truly Aftrican style will cost you upwards of $80-100 but they are beautiful, yet not well made. Overall, the gifts are unique and truly from Tanzania or Kenya. You can easily find something for anyone you might be shopping for, including yourself. If nothing else, its fun just to walk around and look at the stuff.
