I love the fact that there's a big azz dragonfly on the sidewalk outside the store. I love the fact that this store represents the Louisville that I know and love. I was looking for a unique gift for my mom for Christmas. I had been to all the big chain stores, seen a lot of nice stuff, picked up some great stuff, sidestepped some meh stuff. But, I still lacked that piece de resistance to make the gift giving experience complete. My friend (shout out, Jules!) told me about Sister Dragonfly. She told me that not only was it an art store, but it sold funky clothes and jewelry. It's in Clifton, so I was betting that it was a cool place. I took Julie's advice and headed over to Frankfort Ave. I walked in the store and I was the only customer. At times, I am very aware of myself. I am aware of my appearance, my presence and that, sometimes, that makes people feel uncomfortable. It's true. It sucks but it's true. That, in turn, makes me feel uncomfortable. I felt none of that in this store. The owner couldn't have been more inviting with a tremendous...aura about her. She glows positivity. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. The front room of her shop is adorned cool clothes, interesting tchotkes and beautiful hand-crafted original jewelry. I was all set to buy a coral bracelet when she told me to check out the back room -- the art gallery. I ascended the stairs and ran smack dab into wall hanging, books, prints, posters, and mini-sculptures. Everything was unique, comforting and conversation-starting. After marveling at how bright Cesar Millian's teeth are (they glow) on the cover of his "Git Yer Dawg Off The Couch Fer Good" book, I happened into a bundle of original and numbered watercolors on canvas. I found it. I found the perfect gift for my mom that would offer beauty, support and hope. I found it at Sister Dragonfly. I came back into the front room and told the owner why I picked what I picked. She looked at it and nodded, "This is it. This is right. It speaks to you and you know it. This is perfect." She didn't know me from Adam, but I appreciated her listening and adding her input to my purchase. She prettied up my carrying case, chatted me up about Lousville, Nashville and Chicago and wished me a Merry Christmas. You too, Sister Dragonfly. Merry Christmas to you, too.

My family made a pit stop at Sister Dragonfly Gallery for Small Biz Saturday. The shop is FULL of…read moreunique items, which means walking slowly so your eye can hit all the areas. It's tough for me to use a particular label to describe this place. In one corner I found clothing and accessories, in another statues of Buddha and along the walls there was various jewelry, funny magnets and books. It's kinda cool that I can't label this store. It means you can find something for you and 10 of your best friends. My youngest is 5 yr old and he found a fabulous gray fedora. It fit him well and he is handsome in it. He begged for it and since we weren't used to spending money on fedoras for kids, we hesitated. The store owners offered us 20% off so my husband was "sold". My son has worn his hat several times and it is often a topic of conversation with our family and friends. Our family also loved the older dog who is part of this store's family. Very gentle and sweet. There's something about an animal that goes to work with its family during the day that is charming.

I love the videos the owner posts on Instagram, which show off her expert styling. And upon visiting, I found a quaint shop with an expertly curated selection. Best of all: The clothes found here are sure to give anyone confidence. I tried on about six pieces and ended up buying a fun disco-themed shirt. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon and continuing to build out my closet with the great looks found here.

We happened upon this cool little vintage shop on Frankfort Ave by way of street parking for a…read moretraining at the Fairness Campaign. When we parked, we noted that there was vintage furniture, plates, tea kettles, records, clothing and a sandwich board sign calling attention to "COOL STUFF". After our meeting, we were glad to find they were still open, so we stopped in. There's music playing, but not too loud, just enough to create a welcome, relaxed vibe. Lots of vintage kitchenware, real wooden furniture, and assorted clothing. We found a decently priced women's Tommy Hilfiger pea coat, UofL hoodie, and some leather jackets, to name a few. There is a great assortment of records, and DVDs. Some children's toys and books. Ashleigh found a Betsy Johnson purse, brand new for $40. Apparently that would retail for $80. If you're into music, you'll love sorting through the records, but even more so, will love the assortment of guitars, keyboards and mixing equipment. They have some pedals and I even noted a plug-and-play all-in-one Mackie system that accommodates 10+ channels. I also spotted 2 clarinets, a bead shaker (around a gourd), and one of those cool drums that you sit and play between your legs. The owners were really nice. We chatted for about 15 mins before I purchased my Derby glass (1984) for $6, + tax. They told us that they have keys to the building next door and have been brainstorming different ideas for community engagement, maybe even an open-mic. They also mentioned they will give you 10% if you produce a receipt from another local business, because they want to encourage and help reward buying local. Being a vintage shop, I'd expect inventory will change with time and seasons. I noted lots of random little things, like gas masks, top hats and leather chokers that would come in handy for Halloween and costuming. We'll definitely be back to check them out, especially for spooky season needs, among other things. Ashleigh is always on the lookout for vintage Pyrex and Fire King, so hit me up if you spot some when you check them out!

Located off Frankfort Avenue Lackadazee is chic and cute. I feel fancy just walking inside. The staff are so nice and welcoming. They show you where you need to look and don't hover....which I love!!!!! They have a good selection of silver and gold chains to choose from for the permanent jewelry. I recommend making an appointment. You pay $25 which is deducted from your purchase. That guarantees your time one-on-one with your jeweler. The whole set up is amazing. Total pamper day for us and I enjoyed every second. They do have a wide selection of rings, earrings, chains, and charms to fit anyone's taste. Their mascot, yellow tabby cat was taking a nap in the back. Hopefully if you visit you'll get to see him. He is a cutie patooty. Shine on yall.

The staff is friendly, the jewelry is well made, and there's a piece for everyone. It's easy for a brand to say that they're ethical and sustainable, but the Lackadazee brand shows up and displays how they are part of the change they wish to see on the world. In addition to their sustainable and ethical jewelry, they also host "repair, don't replace" events to fix jewelry, even brands that aren't theirs. Lackadazee also has a recycling program for jewelry, as well as clothing swaps. It's nice to see a brand live out the values that are part of their marketing campaign. I have several rings from here, as well as a salt and pepper diamond necklace. I have purchased other items as gifts for friends and family that are well loved. I once had a permanent bracelet and anklet from there - my lifestyle was a bit rough and they fell off BUT I still have the chains. I just need to get to the store to have them reattached. Both the in-store and online store experiences are nice. If you're in town, you won't regret going to their "brick and mortar" store. :)

Bought a couple things but they closed before I was done so I came back the next day to try on some of the items I didn't around to. As I'm attempting to check out the second day, the girl at the front desk accuses me of having "extra hangers" and tells me to leave before I can even make my purchases. I had not taken anything, I didn't even have a bag on me and all I was wearing was a tshirt and leggings. literally turned out my pockets for this nasty ass employee and showed her that I had not done anything, was actually actively trying to BUY things from her (for the second time) but she accused me of shoplifting repeatedly purely on the basis of me having "extra hangers". poorly run, employees are rude as hell, if they're that worried about shoplifters they should put an item limit on the door and not just go off of whether you have extra hangers. Literally an insane experience. Left crying because I had the audacity to try on multiple items. Spend your money elsewhere.

Their prices are moderate, but you can find some good steals on their sale racks. Reaallly cute clothes too! I'll definitely be back whenever I am in the area again.
