No trip to Hood River is complete without visiting Plenty to see what new and fabulous clothing and…read moreaccessories Glacier, the owner, has found! While this boutique is located in downtown Hood River, the exquisite collection of thoughtfully curated goods would fit in any cosmopolitan city boutique. I wish this shop was located in Portland, not that Portland is cosmopolitan, but it's where I live! The lushious handbags, many from designers in LA or NY, get me every single time. My preference is always for nice leather bags with a simple but very unique design, without designer names and logos distracting from the quality design and material. At Plenty, there are plenty that fit this description. Sorry, couldn't resist the pun! On my recent visit I saw, and immediately purchased, a python clutch in an ombré design of orange, black, mustard and turquoise. Trust me, it's way more beautiful than it sounds! It's a standout piece that goes with and elevates any outfit. The clothing is made from high quality fabrics and very well-made. Mostly in solid shades of neutrals that work in everyone's wardrobe, with patterns and pops of seasonal color mixed in. Jeans, sweaters, jackets, shawls, capes, blouses, dresses - yes, yes, yes and yes. Casual or evening. Lunch with the girls or date night. Something for every occasion. There is always a unique collection of jewelry, shoes, and a selection of beauty products near the back. The staff is very friendly and attentive. If you are the type that needs a sales person's help to pull together an outfit, then this is your place. My preference is to browse on my own and seek assistance when I have questions and they seem to be able to discern the different needs. The items are high quality so the prices reflect that. But since there is such a variety of items, there truly is something for most anyone.

Each of the staff truly cares about how you look and makes it a personal mission to make you look and feel gorgeous.

Rudy Duck is a local classic for shopping. Whenever I treat myself to a shopping date at "The Duck"…read moreI try to buy an outfit. The owner, Cecily, and all of her wonderful employees are great at bringing your items to a fitting room so you can keep shopping without having a ton of stuff in your hands! Once trying on clothes they check in to see if you would like different sizes or if you want them to hand pick some items out. They have a great spread of clothing for all ages and body types. I personally prefer tighter, shape forming clothes, and I can always find stuff that fits me well. I love all of their cute accessories. from jewelry to head bands to tights, they have it all. They have modern patterns; it seems as though they are always ahead of what's trendy! Their prices are a little bit lower than you would expect seeing as they are down town Hood River. Typically, I can get a jacket or sweater, a pair of jeans, and 2 accessories for approximately $150. If these guys ever did a "stitch-fix" style clothing box subscription, I would definitely sign up!

I am not sure why I had The Ruddy Duck bookmarked in my "to try" list. It might have been because…read morein the Yelp category men's clothing is also listed but upon arrival here after looking around dow stairs and upstairs this is definitely a women's clothing store. Perhaps they had men's clothes at one point in time and they phased it out. Some stores do that. Or sometimes I bookmark businesses and the reason why I did that gets forgotten. But aside from that the merchandise is very nice and good shop situated in downtown Hood River. The clothing has kind of western style spin to it but in a classy, socializing way as opposed to western wear that is also work wear. Everyone that worked here was very nice and they had some very nice blankets that they had here for sale so that is also something to consider while out and about downtown.

Plus, lots of neutral basics great for layering. Even a small sampling of gifts, clothing, handbags, and other fashion accessories. On my recent visit, I fell in love with their Valentine's Day loungewear, pun intended, which featured a two-piece set in a creamy tan with neutral hearts. Not the over the top pink & red that usually appears this time of the year. This is exactly why I love this store! They carefully select and curate items that are unique, beautiful, and comfortable and can be worn by anyone all year long. The owner and staff are helpful without being intrusive. Their window displays are great, and definitely do what is intended, which is lure me into this charming little boutique!

I am so happy I found Enchanted! For years I shopped at The Enchanted Alpaca that was located on Oak Street in Hood River. Enchanted is a much smaller version of that store and is now located across the bridge in White Salmon. The boutique is on E Jewett, right next to Windmere, and hours are by appointment only so make sure to plan your visit and call ahead of time. The owner, Carol, is delightful, and when you visit Enchanted, it's like shopping with your girlfriend, the one you trust to be honest about how pieces look and fit. Never any pressure to buy, Carol truly wants you to have fun trying on various items. When the right item finds you, there is no way you can leave without purchasing it! Trust me, you will know. On a recent Friday I set up an appointment at 1pm. Immediately upon walking up the steps, an oatmeal colored alpaca jacket with big oversized furry pockets caught my attention. It was stunning! So unique and as Carole said, "the pockets are a party!" Not thinking it would work with my shape, I took a picture of the jacket for a friend. If I couldn't have it, someone I knew had to own it! The jacket was such a statement piece while simultaneously being understated, one you could wear when dressed up or casual, when out and about in jeans or leggings. Reluctantly, I passed the jacket with furry pockets and made my way to another jacket that caught my attention. The minute I put it on, it felt like the jacket was designed specifically for me. A duster length denim that was super fitted in the waist then expanded out to flow over my hips, it was love at first fit! I continued to try on the jacket in various lengths and colors and every one of them looked great. When you find a designer who works for your shape, everything in their line typically fits. After what had to be 30 minutes, I had to pull myself away from this section! There were so many other tops, sweaters, jackets and coats to explore! Plus scarves, hats, gloves, warm socks and even some jewelry. Still having fun, I tried on a gorgeous red alpaca coat that was incredibly beautiful and flattering. Several long cotton duster sweaters in colors (berry and fuschia) and big patterns that I typically avoid. Again, they looked fantastic, so flattering and fun. I decided to buy the duster length denim jacket - a no brainer - and also bought another one in a rich cowboy brown leather color, in a shorter hip length. I was so happy with my purchases that I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat! As I was leaving, I decided to try on the Alpaca coat with the furry pockets just for fun. My intent was to snap a pic to text my friend, knowing it would be perfect for her. But as soon as I put the jacket on, it was a Cinderella moment! The jacket was surprisingly perfect in every way - the fit, the color, the style - that it was impossible for me to leave without it! Yesterday I wore the jacket while on a girls weekend wine tasting. Literally at every single winery we entered, the hostess said, "wow, that jacket is incredible, those pockets!" Yep, they're a party! At one winery where I had visited the night before, the server seemed shocked that it was me. She kept telling me how beautiful I looked, saying over and over how she didn't recognize me. I wasn't really sure how to take that, other than to say, I clean up well! If you like high quality clothing made from natural fibers that wear well and last a lifetime, set up an appointment to visit Enchanted. Tell Carol I sent you and that I love my furry pocket coat! They are a party!

We were a bit hesitant to call, but so glad we did. All three of us found beautiful pieces. Carol was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, does not pressure at all, and went out of her way to find a size my friend needed that was off site, and to put in a special order for another piece. If you like beautiful women's clothing, do yourself a favor and call when you're going to the Gorge!

The bags, backpacks, wallets, messenger bags, pouches and caps come in fun, bright, unique color combinations. Orange & aqua; brown & fuchsia; yellow and turquoise; just to name a few. Also patterns that add interest to a solid background. I especially liked the pouches that are great on their own or can be used to contain items in a larger bag. Lots of sun hats in different materials, both solid and open weaved styles. And of course lots of caps! Many with sun protection. The hats are on the wall, on the tables, with lots of bright light and space so you can easily see them and access them to try on. When it's cool I like to wear a scarf when I'm out on my walks and they have lots in really pretty, modern patterns. Many infinity, some with fringe and tassels. Stripes, floral, geometric - something for everyone's style. The owners live right in Hood River where Pistil was founded in 2003. They have a website with a lot more inventory but it's wonderful that they have opened a brick & mortar so you can see, touch and feel the fabrics, gauge the size of the bags, inspect the compartments and try on the hats. A definite must for me since I often have to wear children's hats so they fit! Opening during the Pandemic has added challenges. Now that we can shop freely, without masks, do s shop right on Oak Street in the heart of Hood River.

Compared to the other…read moreboutiques on Oak Street, the prices here are far more reasonable and the clothes are mid range, not the current fashions and trends. And sometimes that's a good thing! They seem to cater more to an older crowd, at least that's the impression I got by the types of clothing they carried. Casual polyester print dresses, loose tops, slacks. Oversized t-shirts and tunics. Some denim. Big, chunky necklaces. Lots of bling. Not necessarily my style but I won't ding them for that. Was on the hunt for mother-of-pearl earrings for a friend. My friend had just purchased a beautiful mother-of-pearl necklace and since its her birthday this month, my goal was to find complimentary earrings. After going into all of the higher end boutiques - Twiggs, The Ruddy Duck, Chemistry Jewelry, Plenty - I decided to wander into Dream Street Boutique. Right on the counter were 2 displays of earrings and a beautiful pair with mother-of-pearl stones dangling over a silver teardrop. At $28, that was beyond reasonable and they are perfect! The right stone, a little dangle and classic silver. Sold! Was so happy to find exactly what I set out to get and can not wait to give them to my friend. While I was there another shopper came in and told the owner that one of the tunics she bought had pilled during the first wash. She mentioned that she shops there frequently and never had that issue with other similar tops. Without hesitation, the owner went over to the rack, picked a new tunic top, and handed it to the women without even going through the whole, "let me see your receipt and ring up an exchange" routine. She accepted the return in good faith and without any hesitation. Now that is customer service! So while the style of clothing doesn't match my personal taste, I still give 5 stars for the customer service, the reasonable pricing and the fact that there are women for whom this style does match, and they can have a great shopping experience here knowing the clothes are backed with a guarantee.
