I was visiting my sister in Roanoke and she told me about these amazing boutiques. I was excited to…read morestop in Bittersweet. They had cute clothes but I did not like how I was being treated. For starters they were watching me like a hawk when I was trying dresses on. Once I was done, I decided to be helpful and put the clothes back. After I did that, one of the workers asked me where I put the clothes. I told her I put them back, and then she proceeded to check all the pieces that I tried on. Then as I was leaving, they called me back in asking where I put the one dress because they could not find it. I walked right in and found it in 30 seconds and I felt like I knew the store better than the employee. I understand that they have a job to do and have to make sure people do not steal but I felt judged the moment I walked in. I felt like I was accused of stealing and if they are so worried about people stealing then put sensors on their clothes. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 star is because they had cute clothes.

It carries eclectic, one-of-a-kind bohemian, classic, and casual clothing for men and women from around the world, including handmade frames, candle holders, leather shoes and boots, and handmade jewelry.

The clothing is comfortable and stylish, and I love the styles.This business that has been around for almost 30 years has a fantastic selection of unique items that you won't find anywhere else. I went to visit and was very impressed with the boutique's decor from the entrance area outside the main door to the interior design and distribution of their merchandise.

We learned about the store from the visitors center and it was definitely a good suggestion. The owner is a former flight attendant and she has jewelry, purses, scarfs, clothes and a number of other things from all over the world. On top of that she does an amazing job providing money back to the local community. There is one section of the store that is filled with star jewelry. Part of the sale of this jewelry goes the local community to help local homeless youth and their families get affordable housing. The owner is truly passionate about the cause and helping the community where she works and lives. This connection just makes you feel even better about buying from this store. The jewelry is super cute too! If you are in the area this is a must stop!!!

And one day, for one reason or another, one desides to stop and go inside. This precisely is what happened to me with Artsy June. One day I was walking along the sidewalk of Market Street in Downtown Roanoke. I saw this interesting little store front. Read this verse that was written on a standing blackboard: "People will throw stones at you. Don't throw them back. Collect them all and build an empire." After reading this my curiosity kicked in and I proceeded to enter the store. The first thing I saw was a restored and renovated jukebox playing songs in the background. Then after looking around I deduced that this was a very special Gift Shop, that sold all kinds of artistic and very creative gifts, as well as Second Hand Vintage Clothing and Items at very reasonable prices. Among the items they had for sale, they had original miniature watercolor paintings signed by the local artist, small signs with inspirational sayings, some original and very creative pottery, souvenirs of Roanoke, an antique typewriter, nice wooden objects such as Chest boards, coffee mugs with saying on them, glass items, home decoration items, cushsions, some furniture, umbrellas, and second hand vintage clothes and items. What also was interesting about the store was that the dressing room was made in the inside of what once was a refrigerator room. A young lady employee greeted and welcomed me and explained all about the shop to me. She was also the artist of the miniature watercolor paintings. What a great little local shop. Just browsing all the items there was a delight. I would highly recommend those reading this review accompanied by my photographs to definitely go visit. And those artistic inclined individuals who might have they would like to sell to take them for the owner to see. Maybe she could include them among the store stock. Who knows, this could be the beginning of your artistic career!

From the day I looked into the display window of the store I was attracted by the uniqueness of their merchandise and the relaxed beauty of its style and free form. Located on Market Street, in the heart of downtown Roanoke shopping district, this downtown Roanoke boutique has a warm, inviting, and unique atmosphere, with very friendly and helpful staff and owners. As a matter of fact when I came in the store for the first time I was able to observe how well the owner and staff of the store were treating a couple of customers who were enthusiastically looking over the store's merchandise. Any of the items in the store would make a woman look gorgeous and bring out the best of her and her vibrant personality. When I introduced myself to one of the ladies working in the store, I was able to discover her artistic talent as well, since many of the jewelry items that I admired as gifts were handmade by her. Besides the beauty of each item there, what also stood out was how reasonably they were priced, immediately bringing value to your purchase. This confirming that things need not be extremely expensive to be beautiful and bring joy to your life. In conclusion, I encourage you to view all of my photographs accompanying my review of this boutique, and highly recommend that you go visit the store. I assure you that you will definitely find a beautiful item that you will fall in love with, either for yourself or as a gift. And that in the process you will be treated like friendly royalty, making you feel relaxed and cared for during the shopping experience.

I'm not a much of a mall shopper and found this little store occupied my attention for an hour!! It's not easy to find interesting and fun pieces even in much bigger cities. My mom and nieces bought some earrings and I got a fun coat to go with my OGs. They had this year's trendy long fingerless gloves in brightly colored sock knit. Their prices are not low but not outrageous like some reviewers indicate. This is a small business not a chain. They probably buy small quantities of many brands / selections. We found the staff rather helpful and friendly!

I have walked past this store a few times in the couple of years that I have lived in Roanoke. I…read morehad always wanted to go in but was afraid that I would be snubed since I am not that great of a dresser. Last Wednesday I decided to give it a try. I was really hoping that someone who worked there could help me pull together a wardrobe. I was prepared to spend quite a bit of money. I wasn't dressed that bad when I went in, nice jeans, clean blouse, and loafers. I was looked at by a couple of people who were working there but no one ever asked me if I needed help. I stayed in the store for 5 or 10 minutes, I looked at everything, even looked twice at the shoes. I was very interested in a pair of Dansko's but still no one would help me. It was like they were looking right through me. I have to say that their windows are wonderful, the outfits are just lovely. But, for someone like myself who is not good at fashion the inside of the store is actually a bit overwhelming. It seems like there is a lot of stuff everywhere. I am very disappointed in La De Da.

You ask her a question and she huffs and puffs like it's too much trouble to answer. The prices are really high compared to buying a new items on sale at high-end stores. A lot of of the items need to be thrown away. Lots of the clothes are stained or have rips in them or they kind of smell, but they don't seem to care and they don't seem to want to be bothered about it. You definitely have to check out things in boxes. I looked at a couple games and it was missing 98% of the items but their attitudes really just suck about it.
