It is filled with expensive name brand ladies beachwear and resort wear clothing and had some fitting rooms in the back. Accessories and shoes and belts and some coastal decor was also available. The other side had some nice men's clothing as well. The clothing in here is pricey - like Tori Burch and other brands - think between $150-300 per item you select. There is a small sale rack in the back of the store near the fitting rooms. Staff weren't especially friendly but they were busy - so no biggie.

The owner was friendly and helpful and had so many items that were not in the other stores. I purchased a nice purse and later saw the same brand in several other stores.

My daughter and I walked in earlier today and two clerks, who were 'folding' shirts, treated us like we were scum of the earth! They shifted in their heels and acted 'busy', trying to not breathe the same air as us, much less speak - OH! The horror!! Eye contact? Ewe. Twice we passed them --- and it was so obvious they did not think we had the 'money' to spend there. Guess WHAT - I would rather Google your brands and order from a stranger across the country then bless them. I HOPE they work on commission! My packages will arrive first of the week :)

This LBD had major star power and made me do the unthinkable, "Excuse me. Where'd you get your dress? It's super cute." She unreservedly replies and points, "Oh, across the street at James like a few hours ago." I was taken aback that quite possibly the cutest little sequined number I'd ever seen hails from across the street. "Really!? Hrm...." Flash-forward four months to Easter weekend with some time to kill, I stop at James on a lazy, Saturday afternoon. I was immediately greeted by the 70% off rack and a chic but simple L. Space burnt orange bikini for $20! Score! As I browsed some more, the sticker shock set in as even on the 70% off rack I began seeing dresses for $60 or more. Whoa, I thought we were just casually browsing here... James specializes in high-end contemporary fashion with great, contemporary designers (and mostly American) like Black Halo, Hudson, Tart, and Ella Moss. Speaking of Black Halo, they had an ultra chic, sharply tailored Rouland Mouret-esque dress that was calling my name, except for the $340 price tag. I thought James is an incredible find, especially in Morehead City - all the fashions were unique and stylish, however just a bit overpriced. I know that's their typical price point (elsewhere) and there were several pieces I wanted but just wasn't prepared to drop $129 on a blouse or $200+ on a trendy one shouldered or drapey summery dress; maybe for a few key sought after wardrobe staples, but James isn't that kind of store in my opinion.
