My teen has an ethereal, classic esthetic and is an incredible fashionista...she scopes out timeless pieces and creates remarkable outfits from the eclectic options at Cypress Boutique.

The lovely person working was really helpful and let us know about all the different kinds of deals there were.

After living in Santa Cruz for 7 years I felt like I had lost my sense of style. I needed a…read morewardrobe refresh and to learn more about street style. I learned that you can have a casual but elevated wardrobe that could also be transitioned to more business casual by just adding some intentional additional pieces. Natalia helped me create a capsule wardrobe that I was able to wear at my very laid back beach town, accessorize it and elevate it for my trip to Paris and with some additional pieces I was also able to have a an amazing business casual set of outfit for my new hybrid job that I get compliments all the time. Being able to consult on outfits while getting acquainted to my new pieces was definitely a game changer for me. Also, being introduced to brands that not everyone has and aligned with my budget made a big difference. She organized my closet in a way that was easy to digest and putting outfits together was simple. What a difference it has made for me and time spent getting ready. I highly recommend Natalia for anyone struggling to find what to wear in there closets or needing a wardrobe refresh, it's been an incredibly life changing experience.

The owner is genuinely kind -- she even guided me through some tarot when I opened a set I probably…read moreshouldn't have, which I really appreciated. And showed me how she shuffles decks, had me use her cards to try myself - very informative. If she offered some classes of some kind or just events at the shop- I feel like that would be beneficial and of interest. That said, I can't personally shop somewhere that doesn't allow returns once something's opened. The policy makes sense, it's just not a good fit for me. There are quite a lot of items as far as selection for what from the outside looks like a very small shop. Most items are available for much less online, and in my opinion, the value here simply doesn't match the prices. This is really only a place to shop if supporting a local business matters more to you than what you're getting for the money.
