They no longer participate in the flea market, and since moving to Dupont, they have expanded both their jewelry selection and added home decor. This store is open and airy, and very well laid-out. Per usual, I love Bloom. You'll find the same or similar pieces to Lou Lou or Francesca's here, but at lower prices. The same purse I had just bought at Lou Lou was $6 less here. Their home decor consists of mirrors, pottery and glass pieces (including Polish pottery) and plenty of evil eyes. The owner is always very friendly and he told me they are doing fantastic in this new location, which makes me happy.

Wear it Well is a special place mainly for the women who run and work there. Located in the heart…read moreof downtown Bethesda, this store offers middle to high-end brands in casual and work lines. Plenty of Michael Stars, 525 America Sweaters, and some other more unusual very unique boutique lines. A small store with extremely well-selected inventory. But the highlight of Wear it Well, which I feel is best for women 30 and up, is the longtime owners and employees. I walked in today, told them I wanted to toss my wardrobe out the window, and they proceeded (not overselling, not oversolicitously) to help me come up with some great ideas, good combinations, and a host of things I wouldn't have picked out b/c I'm stuck in my own dull clothing groove. They really worked with me to ensure that I found some special things, and I don't think I'll toss the clothes I bought out the window with the others b/c they do push my proverbial envelope. That's what I needed. When the economy hits hard...and even when it doesn't...I make an extra effort to shop locally. Wear it Well is the kind of carefully merchandised, very well-run boutique that will earn your loyalty. Before you drive to the mall, walk down the street and visit these great gals. Watch out...they talked me into buying an absurdly expensive belt even though I don't wear belts. You know, I think it will become one of my favorite purchases ever! Plus, it's so pricey, I'm going to wear it to sleep every night no matter what.

I went with my best friend two times to help her select her wedding dress, and it was at this BHLDN…read more(Anthro Weddings) that she found her perfect match! Tears were shed, a veil was donned, bubbly was had, and the whole experience was perfect. Having been to a bunch of bridal shops with her and previously for myself and other friends, I can also affirm that the value of these dresses is unbelievably good. I was shocked when I saw the price tag of her top two contenders, and I mean shocked in a good way! Her Anthropologie dress cost far less than my own wedding gown that was purchased nearly 10 years ago. And it is BEAUTIFUL with the quality that she deserves. Later I may update this review to explain the name of her dress, which turned out to be special as well. In sum: would recommend this experience and location, which is within what I call "the mecca" aka the most delightfully large Anthropologie in downtown Bethesda! Note on parking: easy as pie parking in the lot just down the block. You pay with parking number in a machine or with the ParkMobile app. No need to search for street parking!

Excellent bridal styling appointment. Gabriella was attentive and offered a few dresses I might…read morenot have considered.

There are gifts for children and babies. There is a section for beautiful dining China and cook books. I was fascinated by their pillow section. There were pillows for each state embroidered with things that are special to each place. The DC pillow had cute Panda bears on it. It was just beautiful. Service was excellent. I am sorry, I forgot the sales ladies name but she was so nice and helpful. I really appreciated her assistance. The prices were high, but again you are paying for the unique crafted gifts. The pillow I wanted was $200. That was out of my budget. But, I am sure someone will love it. I will definitely return, because they had a gift selection for people who play mah Jong. I am sure my friends would really enjoy one of their gift items. I am glad I stopped by.

Instead, I waited 15 days with little to no communication or updates. I eventually had to go pick it up because nothing had been done. I also asked if I could buy a replacement tire to fix it myself, and I was told one had already been ordered. When I called later to check on it, I was told there was no order in the system. They said they would look into it, but then the call was disconnected. The lack of communication and organization made this a very frustrating experience. I expected much better customer service and cannot recommend this business.

(I don't mean that she picked them out for me; I mean that she searches for and finds really excellent things!) She really knows what to look for! The window display is inviting, too ... and leads to an indoor space that does not disappoint! The willingness of the owner to talk about the displays, clothes, and artistry of outfits is most unusual and endearing! She cares! What could be more important?
