So, I'm not quite sure what a "lifestyle store" is, but I think George supports the type of…read morelifestyle I'd like to live. This fantastic boutique doesn't have a ton of merchandise, but I want all of it. Well, not the ladies clothes, as I'm not a crossdresser. But if I were, I'd be a classy one and probably buy my clothes at George, too. Seriously, this store is nice! I'm impressed in particular by three areas: the pet stuff, their books and their dishes. Their little pet corner is small, but adorable. They had really great chew-toys, leashes, collars and dog bowls. The dog bowls would look fantastic in a modern home, and we plan on getting one of the collars for our pooch once her current one starts looking natty. Their collection of books is incredibly well curated. Lots of great cookbooks, cocktail guides and coffee table books. Also, they have a couple of kids books that certain parents would be way into, if you want your kids learning about CoCo Chanel and the like. Their dishes are all VERY nice (and quite expensive) and if I hung out with a higher tax bracket, I'd be hoping for wedding gifts from here. The store is just really pretty, as well. I was equally impressed with their fixtures and general ambiance as I was their merchandise. I'll be back for sure, as soon as I have some extra funds to spend on making my house look extra fancy.

Easily one of my favorite reasons to visit Brookside. If you're looking for something specific,…read morethen you're going to have to find it amongst all the other cool STUFF. I love the mix of whimsical, satirical, and locally-themed merchandise. There is always something seasonal whether that is late-year holidays, spring decor, or nifty merch in line with the local sportsball teams. You can easily spend wayyyy too much time in here, maybe leafing through some fun books or admiring the handmades & artisanal jewelry. Their jewelry section, which is mostly earrings and accent rings, is sourced from artisans both locally and regionally. I tend to pick up a stocking stuffer here just about every time I'm in because I know I'm not going to find those exact pieces anywhere else. Detail: the up-cycled clothes, such as Chiefs-themed distressed jeans, are ridiculously cool. The prices may be a touch more here and there, but you aren't likely to find some of those items elsewhere and therein lies the real value. Add in that the staff is always friendly and welcoming and the whole place has a happy feel. Parking is, well, Brookside, so get out and browse. Just know that your browsing may end up being more of an extended visit, just like when we stop in.

Great boutique. I visited a few months ago while out to lunch with some coworkers but didn't have…read moretime to really look around and try on clothing. However, I've been back about 5 times and there's always at least one good deal going on. I never realized how confident a great outfit can make you feel. Added bonus, more than likely you won't see another person wearing it because it's not a major department store or mall chain. That in itself should prompt you to check it out. A little deep in Overland Park but worth every mile. It's within walking distance of Cinetopia and a host of nice restaurants so make it a ME day. You deserve it!

It's intriguing to have a gigantic space with a handful of local boutiques, so I like that aspect. It's really a sizable space out in Prairiefire, and easy to park around there because it's the whole development dropped right onto a gigantic field. I saw some little necklaces that say "monogram" but then only have one letter. I asked the clerk if we could complete the monogram (with middle and last initials, naturally) and she said no that's just how they are. I get that it would be tough to do that on the spot but I would gladly custom order something like that to get it right. Wasn't a ton of help inside this space on a weekday and didn't feel welcoming or memorable enough to ever pull me back in when gift shopping.
