Warehouse District, North Loop

Excuse me? Every single other clothing boutique ever created? Listen up. You're gonna want to hear…read morethis. Because THIS is how you run a women's clothing boutique. Actually, I'm going to write it in bullet form, because I could write an entire "Boutique Making for Dummies" book about this place, but that's long and boring. You're probably already reading this on your phone or at work going "SPIT IT OUT, LADY!" So, I'm gonna spit. Parc Boutique is the epitome of what every single women's boutique/clothing retailer should be: - It stocks a large selection of on-trend, adorable seasonal outfits; and offers them at very reasonable prices. - It hires the friendliest, most helpful employees who aren't just smiley, but who can give you an honest opinion when you're trying to decide between items. - The space itself is clean, bright, and well-designed. Whoever their interior designer is, can you please come over to my house immediately? KTHX. - They always have NEW merch. I can't believe how quickly and frequently they get new stuff in. It's fantastic! - They have a functioning website (which lots of small boutiques can't really support). - They have GREAT social media support (like a beautiful, inspiring Instagram account...it's definitely inspired a few purchases from me!) - They host rad events and trunk shows and open houses all the time! - And they have a great loyalty/rewards program where you get money back after you spend a certain amount of money. I love shopping here because even when I spend more than I "should," I love that it goes back to supporting a local shop instead of a big corporation. Plus, I know there won't be 2,000 other girls in the Twin Cities rocking the SAME look. It's just a really happy place, that stocks a variety of sizes and trends and items (dresses/pants/blouses/scarves/jewelry/shoes/hats/name a thing)! Yeah. I'm just relieved it's in Nordeast and not my neighborhood or I would probably be living out of a tent that I made using their clothes...

I wish that a fashion portal would open when I open my closet each morning. It'd be like Narnia,…read morewithout the lion or the witch... just the wardrobe. I'd just pop in to some awesome store, play dress up and then come back through my wardrobe like the Pevensie children. Anyway, Parc Boutique would definitely be one of my fashion portal stops. I follow the owner Thao on Twitter and Pinterest because she has amazing taste, so I should've known how much I'd like this store. It had been a while since my first visit to Parc (when I was young and broke), so my visit last week felt like the maiden voyage. There's a balance of affordability and higher-fashion style here, which I appreciate because that is a balance I try to find on a daily basis. There's a great selection of dresses, tops, jewelry, denim and more---all priced and curated well. The bauble table was where I had the most trouble saying goodbye. I saw the most interesting geometric pendant priced at about $75 (as usual, my eye wanders to one of the most expensive things on the table). Though I couldn't bring myself to drop the cash, I was compelled to put it on my Christmas list eight months in advance.

CARAG, Uptown

I had a pretty crummy experience at June today, the Edina location…read more I went in with about 15 Karen Millen dresses and blazers, sizes 8 and 6, freshly dry cleaned and in very good condition. The owner (I assume she was the owner) looked them over while I looked around the store. When I went back up to the front, all she said was, "I'll pass." I was a bit surprised, so I said, "Can I ask why?" She said, "They have a strong dry cleaning smell, so maybe if you put them in the backyard or something." (I smelled them again and I honestly don't smell anything, but whatever.) I said, "Okay, so if I do that... is there anything here you'd take? Because I don't want to do all of that and lug everything back and you're just not interested." She very curtly said, "I don't know, I didn't really look." No smile, no "thanks for coming in." (Her associate who was working there was nice.) The whole time, she was just very curt and abrasive with me. And even though I was there to try to sell clothes, if she had treated me like that if I had walked in there to buy clothes, I would have NEVER bought anything from her. I definitely would have felt unwelcome and walked out. My negative review is not based on her decision not to buy my clothes. That's totally her decision - I was disappointed, but that's fine. My negative review is based on how she treated me. I felt she was very rude to me the whole time. I will not try to sell anything there anymore, nor will I go in to buy anything either. (The owner will probably do a reply on this review, and that's fine. I believe that my review is objective of what happened, and readers can make their own decision.)

My mom had driven by this place months ago and insisted to me, repeatedly, that when I came home to…read morevisit we just HAD to stop by. It's across the street from our all-time favorite ice cream shop, Crema, so it's not as if she had to twist my arm. However! It took us several tries, due to their 6pm closing time, before we finally got in. I geeked out big time, I'll admit it. Minneapolis is the best, I repeat, the BEST city for vintage clothing (affordable, and otherwise) and June is a great addition to my usual rotation of secondhand stores. The owner, Daune, is really sweet, and the dressing rooms have two very important elements: red velvet curtains and flattering light. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE SHOE RACK OH MAH GOD IT IS AMAZING. Seriously. For serious. Seriously. No, I'm really serious about this: Manolo Blahnik, D&G, Marc Jacobs, Ferragamo, Christian Louboutin, Te Casan...most run for less than $100 and are presented beautifully on high, white shelves in the back room. Great purses and wallets (Vivienne Westwood...oooooooooh), though those will cost you a pretty penny. The clothing racks are full of great finds, albeit some questionable ones (what is a Guess? denim miniskirt doing next to Oscar de la Renta?), but there's no way you'll leave here empty-handed. I bought: Marc Jacobs Black Nubuck Mary Janes ($45) Anna Sui Black Lace Goth-Style Dress ($55) Gold Sunburst Cocktail Ring with Blue Stone ($20) Do...you...have...ANY...idea...how much these items would cost in a New York high-end vintage shop? Hot damn. You lucky, lucky folks. It's places like these that keep me coming back for more...
