Stacey was an absolute gem! My wife and I wandered into Blu Violet Boutique during spring break --…read moreand it instantly became one of those "we're-just-browsing-oh-wait-let's-buy-everything" kind of stops. Despite how busy it was, Stacey personally welcomed every guest with that kind of hospitality that makes you wonder if she's lowkey your long-lost aunt. She made the whole space feel inviting and cozy, even as she was styling, ringing up, and somehow still smiling through it all. She's the MVP of multitasking and mood-setting. Let's talk clothes -- my wife was in boutique heaven. The selection hit that magical zone of trendy and timeless, like "that dress will slay now and five years from now." She found pieces for brunch, casual Fridays, and -- no joke -- we even considered coordinating outfits for future date nights. If matching sets are the new love language, this place understood the assignment. Now for me -- the supportive husband on standby. I came fully prepared to be ignored and under-caffeinated. Instead, I got cozy seating, cold bottled water, and good vibes. I felt seen. Honestly, the only thing missing was a small men's rack so I could join in on the fashion fun. I would've gladly snagged a matching neutral-toned shacket and made it a full Instagram moment. Final verdict: Blu Violet is a vibe. It's the kind of place where your wife walks out with a glow, you feel unexpectedly refreshed, and suddenly you're googling "how to style couple outfits without looking like a prom photo." 10/10 would return -- with hopes of menswear, or at the very least a whiskey, while waiting.

Well to keep the long story short, it was the fourth place we came for the dress and we were very happy. My friend was able to say yes to her dress for her wedding in the fall of 2018. (Dress pic not posted because it personal and a surprise for everyone) Anyway the place is huge and the selection is endless. They offer brides maid dresses and prom ones as well. The staff is super helpful and they make sure you are treated well and not rushed. They listened to her vision and were uber helpful. I really enjoyed coming here. Can I get married again and pick a dress? We plan on being back to look into bridesmaids dresses. Until then .

They are a favorite place to stop on First Fridays, when I can hardly get in the door! And the stream of new and fun fashions and accessories is non-stop. Service is friendly and personal, too. Still one of my favorite stops. This is like shopping in a dear friend's great closet. Although the store is tiny, the variety always surprises me, and the service can't be beat. I find interesting items I find nowhere else, and while their prices are consistent with other stores, their sale items make them more affordable. There is even a comfortable place to sit! I have purchased tops, purses, outerwear, scarves, jewelry, and other items. Easy to miss since it is north of Casa Bonita and before the train tracks, up a couple of stairs. But with such a uniquely-vintage location and terrific items and service, it is worth the extra steps. Easy parking right in front, or in the copious parking lots around the corner on Lake Street. No I do not work for them - I am just a huge fan and want to be sure they stay in town!

There is a large variety of accessory items.They carry costume jewelry (earrings, necklaces,…read moreStatement necklaces, earring/necklace sets), hair accessories, scarves and nail products. Most of the items are Made in China and I would stay away from the extremely cheap items - they don't hold up well upon use. e.g. the little barrettes for little girls don't snap well. Additionally, they are upside down if you try to use the matching ones on either side of the head. :-) Much of the merchandise is typically found in any accessory section and is priced very competitively. If you ask for even a better deal, you would probably succeed - the owners are very sweet and eager to please. My only real complaint would be the restricted hours. The store was the only filled store in this little strip for a very long time, but now there are some neighbors to help pull in more customers. I'm sure they will be able to hire clerks and expand their hours eventually. For now, they close early and are not open on Sunday. If you love to have a variety of costume jewelry, or have a little girl, you will be a regular customer.
