Love this swimwear shop! Shopping for quality swimwear online can be difficult and frustrating…read moretrying to find the right fit. Unfortunately many of the "good" swimwear shops in Newport/Middletown have went out of business! As a larger busted gal, being able to shop for quality swimwear in person is the only way! I purchased my first sunset tankini at California East 2 years ago and its my favorite. It has lasted me so long, but it was time to purchase my second for some variety. I went directly back to California East. The owner is so friendly, patient, and helpful. She gave me a number of suits to try on based on my preference. Showed me online additional color options and was able to order my suit as it wasn't in stock. The price can be scary, but it's worth it for a good fitting long lasting quality suit! Stop in and chat and look around! She's great! Thank You California East!

This place is a GEM! They sell items straight from the company warehouse at a discount. They carry…read moreAmerican Eagle/Aerie, brands from Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters, and some other brands. Women's clothing in the front and men's in the back. The store was really organized and it was easy to find what I was looking for. I snagged some super soft AE jeggings for $16 and they were at least $40 retail. There were Anthropologie jeans going for $28. I also checked out some cute bralettes and sports bras, but they didn't fit right unfortunately. Other things they carried: sportswear (leggings, tops), sweaters, swimsuits, dresses, shorts, jewelry-- basically anything you'd find in a regular clothing store, but at a discount! There were also some cute Newport longsleeves/hoodies in the back. Selection is limited, but that's just the nature of the store-- it depends on what they get from the warehouse. It feels like a treasure hunt. I love this place already and can't wait to see what I find next!

I've shopped here sporadically over the last twenty years and there's always something that catches my eye. I would say that the selection is eclectic and moderate luxe without the super high price tags. Beautiful fabrics with interesting pieces to add to your wardrobe. Jackets, dresses, shirts, pants, scarves and accessories. They also have a small section of shoes and boots, with names like Dansko. They have a cute section that had small gifts for a special someone as well as some really cool jewelry pieces that won't break the bank. The staff is kind and eager to help. The store is organized and neat- with a great sale rack in back. I bought a pair of Dansko boots on my last visit. They had my size but they were more than willing to check their other store, if needed. Thank you Green Ink for delivering on great service and great product.

I love this brand because you can layer your pendants on the same chain, which makes for a cool and personalized look. Have so many types of designs, something for everyone.

Their signature square knot style bracelets are a perfect blend of ocean, sailing, beach, local (yet diverse with the multiple location inspired lines), and fun. Each stylish piece of jewelry has a cool anchor-like hook in either gold or silver. I am in love with my new bracelets, but especially the Watch Hill (one of my favorite beach areas anyway) design, which looks like an open anchor bangle bracelet. The uniqueness of this piece is that it is light, versatile, casual, yet dressy, and stays open. I have never seen a design like this (most clasp or go all the way around), but this design has such a special flair to it. I am very impressed with this local company. The store itself is an experience! Walking along Thames, you are bound to encounter various shops featuring local and interesting products. But this store has a unique and fun story (just read their history/about section and anyone familiar with Newport summers will understand the Dark and Stormy reference!), paired with a beautifully designed and nautically inspired store itself. Their seating area and couches are so very welcoming and the employees are attentive and sociable. They also stand by their products 100%. I can't say enough wonderful things about Lemon & Line. A little tip: pair the Watch Hill bangle-like bracelet with any of the signature rope bracelets for a unique and beautiful look. They also have a beautiful and fun nautical bag. The straps are what make this bag so unique - keeping in theme with the rope bracelets. A warm summery day ahead beckons a visit to Lemon & Line on your next stroll in beautiful Newport. It also neighbors some tasty ice cream shops and restaurants - perfect location and products all around.

After a multitude of rude experiences I have finally had enough and decided to write a review…read more My first time visiting I bought some yarn and upon checkout I made a comment about how I did not know what I was going to do with it but that I loved the color and had to buy it. A lady who headed into the back room said as she was passing "Yeah I know all knitters are hoarders".....makes you want to buy yarn right? no. so my next visit was with my husband and then newborn. My husband was pretty disgusted by the group of women who sat knitting talking about how hot some police officer in Little Compton was. I guess gossiping woman meet here. my next visit I went with my baby and again there was a group of older women knitting. you know what would have been nice? If one offered to watch my baby for all of 5 minutes so I could shop. No instead they pretty much ignored me. which leads me to my visit today. I went with my 2.5 yr old son. Not an easy task to try to shop and watch your son. I told him he could touch the bell on the way out or else he would sit on timeout, so being a toddler he touched the bell (on the door). So I put him on timeout where he said "Hi" at least a dozen of times to the 3 women knitting. Not 1 of them said hi back or anything. Maybe these women don't have grandchildren. In any case they were rude. Ignoring a 2.5 yr old is really nice. I had over $50 of yarn in my hand that I put back because I could not stand being in a store that had women who could not stop and say hi to my son for all of 5 seconds. I will also add that they have never asked if I needed help finding yarn, needles, or anything. They have never told me about their knitting group that meets ( I heard from some other lady that shops there). It is too bad that the customer service and clientele are so rude. I give them 1 star on friendliness and helpfulness and 1 star because they had buttons I wanted to buy today. I will never ever shop at this store again. i will buy my yarn and buttons online.

The…read moreowner is very knowledgeable and always willing to help someone find yarn that will work for their project and to offer hints and steps that can make your project easier and improve the finished product. I love the selection of yarns and there's always something new to see. I have to take issue with the review by Sarah G. Her complaint about women talking about a police officer they considered to be hot has zero to do with the store. If she's offended by women talking about a good looking man I suspect she's often offended, since lots of women do that. As for expecting the knitters to babysit or entertain her child, she needs to get a grip! I go there to knit and relax not to care for someone else's child. It's a place of business not a day care center. I know the group of knitters to which she refers. They are a close knit (no pun intended) group of friends who've known each other for years. They know me but ignore me, too. Who cares!? I don't expect other customers to cater to my personality or quirks. The store staff has always been helpful, not just to me, but to every person I've seen come through the door.
