Unique and brightly colored apparel and gifts "graced" the large front window displays. I was greeted warmly by Lisa. She knew her inventory well and made several suggestions for me; I tried on multiple items including a ruffled dress with metallic thread detail. She educated me about the unique brands behind Queen of Sparkle and Shu Shop sneakers. They carry stretchy Risen jeans, too. You can find lovely pieces to bring a unique look to your everyday wardrobe or for a special occasion. They also offer pretty accessories. Need a gift? You can find it there. I'll be back to see what Gail and Grace will offer for fall as my summer wardrobe is overflowing. Also, I'll be back for holiday gift shopping. Worth a visit! And, why not? It's lovely to be in Apex!

I love Rose & Lee clothes and store…read more The items are always so soft, easy to care for, and look stylish. As a working woman I really appreciate the choices that I can add to my wardrobe. The pieces can be professional or playful. They fit true to size and wash well. You earn points for shopping, so every year for my birthday I get myself something for free. The bags and accessories are very cute, jeans fit so snug and soft, and hats are very fashionable. Support local and women owned. Sign up for emails to know when specials are happening.

Okay ladies, if you haven't checked out Rose and Lee collective its a must! A little back story…read moreabout the shop. The owners wanted to create a store within their community that supports businesses. Amber Said that " you shouldn't have to choose between doing good and looking and feeling your best." That's why they offer you style with a story! I came in and I was greeted right away by one of the owners Amber she was so nice! She showed me around the store and told me the story behind the business and the venders she supports. She also shared the range of price points on items in her store. The clothing range from $30-70. There were only a few pieces over $100. They also carry jewelry ranging from $16-$80 dollars. I know what you might be thinking kind of pricey, but the brands of jewelry they carry are empowering others. The brands restore power and offer outreach to women who have experienced challenges. IE: Addiction, homelessness or have been victims of human trafficking. You can purchase everything online and you can find out more information about the brands on how they give back on their website! You can also book a giveback gathering via there website. I really enjoyed my visit at Rose and Lee Co and I will defiantly be back for a wardrobe session with Prisca in the near future! If you're reading this come and support this local business in apex you will be so happy you did!

The service was amazing and the quality that you get is incredible. I also purchased a necklace that unfortunately broke within a few hours and I couldn't drive back because I was from out of town and flying back to Boston the next day. I called the store and April ( who was wonderful) helped me. She shipped me a brand new one to Boston and no extra charge. I'm wearing the necklace now and I'm absolutely in love. When I am ever back in that area, I will definitely go back !

We drove from Durham for the appointment and unfortunately, upon entry, were received with abysmal service and (lack of) interaction with the staff. No one greeted us in or even acknowledged our existence until one lady finally stated, "you my 3 o'clock?" As she proceeded to keep walking into the back before we could respond. She later returned and sat at the jewelry station staring down at her phone and continued to ignore us. Needless to say we left immediately. It's really disappointing, especially when you want to support a local business and do something special with your twin.

The two instructors were so kind and patient with us, and showed us with a practice piece how to get the hang of metal stamping. We then could pick out a bigger piece to be our "real" piece, and we were allowed to take our time and make our ornaments with various fonts and symbols. They have a ton of options in terms of different metal pieces we can make as well as an almost endless supply of stamping characters, and it's so fun to be able to make something like this for loved ones! They're perfectly imperfect. Value wise, the class is incredibly affordable and I'm sure I'll be back in the future to make more pieces. The store itself is really cute and has a lot of fun trinkets!

This wouldn't have been to big of an issue except for the fact that every customer that walked in after me was greeted and welcomed with a warm hello. Was it me? Was it what I was wearing? Did I not fit their mold of typical clientele? Did I not deserve their attention? Don't get me wrong they have some cute clothes but I won't return to this store that's for sure. There are many other clothing boutiques in Cary that serve up excellent customer service and have just as cute of a selection of clothing.

We have bought Christmas and Birthday presents for many of the women in our lives! My fiancé finds it really easy to walk in and buy at least 5 things that work for me or a friend! Ashley is always super helpful when we visit! I'm sure she has helped pick out many of my wonderful gifts. I always bring visitors to Pink Magnolia because women of all ages and sizes can find something cute and affordable. I have added some photos of a few of my favorite things!
