Ellicott City, what a charming and wonderful place. A friend recommended that we check out this…read moreplace in our road tripping journey and this place did not disappoint. As I was packing for our East Coast adventure, I was thinking fall weather clothing: boots, beanies, light jackets.....oh but on our last two days, mother nature said NOPE, I am bringing the heat! It was hot and we were slightly dying, as we passed Sweet Elizabeth Jane, not only was their storefront display soooo cute, but we could feel the AC blasting when we passed by. Seriously, this was the reason why we went in. Not knowing what to expect, I was surprised. The store was two floors, but not only did it have the cute souvenirs and Christmas decor that was visible as we passed by, but it had cute clothes and accessories. What a gem of a store....it was boutique plus, plus!!! This store has my heart. It was hard to narrow down my shopping since I had to be mindful that I had a carry on and personal item to travel back home. I couldn't resist and decided to purchase items and just ship them to myself back home. I bought a shawl/jacket in the most wonderful Olive Green color that is perfect for walking and driving in. I also got the softest scarf. Customer service was top notch. I saw this scarf on display on a mannequin and I asked if it came in different colors and they went to go look since I am not a big fan of the browns in my attire choices. I got a gray/black combo scarf. Since we had cooled down significantly as we were shopping, we got hungry and asked if we could place the items on hold since we didn't want to carry our purchases until the end of our exploration and headed back to the car. I gave them my name, they placed the items on hold and we went to eat. When we came back, the store associate remembered my name and that our items were on hold. She also told me that they have a website with many items for sale from their actual sales floor that could be shipped and proceeded to tell me how the store got started. She wrapped the items with care and off we were. Prices are completely reasonable for a store of this caliber. This store could easily fit into the vibe of Stanford Shopping Center, Santana Row, downtown Carmel, etc.....but I KNOW that this place will blow any rivals strictly due to their fair pricing, storefront size and their unique items. Thank you, thank you for existing!! ::hearts::

My favorite was a tiny Christmas tree ornament that looked like a garden fountain with tiny birds perched on it. So fun and one of my favorite shops in town.

Listen, this store is horrible! I ran into Madrag to grab a tank top for my trip, but really wished…read moreI had gone somewhere else. I couldn't get out of the store fast enough. The store is really poorly kept. The floors are worn and dirty, the racks are too close together and the back of the store is basically an empty shell. I am not sure what has happened to this store, as it was not in such poor condition when it first opened. There were four people working on the Wednesday when I went. Two were friendly while the other two stood in the middle of the store gossiping about customers, standing right in the way of the one rack that I came to the store from. When I tried to navigate around them, they acted as if I was inconveniencing them! One customer was on the phone screaming at her daughter. Another customer had her toddler son in the store who was also screaming. Needless to say, I got the tank top that I was searching for and exited the store immediately.

I stopped by Octavia Boutique today, and I was so impressed that I felt compelled to write a few…read morelines about it. The store is fairly large and sits in the Village of Cross Keys in Baltimore, an upscale open‑air shopping destination near the golf course. I've been a customer there for quite some time, but lately it feels as though they've shifted gears -- in the best possible way. What stands out most is the balance in their selection. They offer an appealing mix of evening wear, casual everyday pieces, and beautifully tailored clothing in rich, flattering colors. The pants are consistently good, the jackets are glorious, and the sweaters are the kind you want to touch. Everything is thoughtfully curated and priced sensibly, which is dangerous for me because I can always find something I won't be able to resist. Their jewelry selection has also taken a noticeable leap forward. They still carry small, affordable, easy pieces, but they've also added more distinctive designer items​ lately -- bold colors, contemporary shapes, and intriguing materials. I spotted exquisite Lucite pieces, leather designs in unexpected hues, and some very fashion‑forward clip earrings from Paris that are both chic and unbelievably comfortable. ​Visiting Octavia Boutique always feels like stepping into a space where style is taken seriously without ever feeling intimidating. What makes it truly exceptional, though, is how rare it is to find a fashion boutique that excels equally in clothing and jewelry. Their recent evolution has only sharpened that distinction. The apparel is beautifully curated, but the jewelry collection is nothing short of breathtaking -- a level of creativity and quality you almost never see under the same roof. If you enjoy thoughtful fashion, distinctive accessories, and a store that consistently surprises in the best way, Octavia is well worth the stop. Just be warned: resisting temptation there is nearly impossible.

Upon arriving, they had a nice selection of clothing items for women, plus size, and young girls in addition to accessories, shoes, jewelry, makeup, and toiletries.

All in all, a great store to peruse and shop for ladies/young girls items at affordable prices.

This Rainbow does not have a fitting room, which is unfortunate because of their 7-day return policy. You do need the original receipt and intact tags in order to get a refund or store credit. If it has been more than 7-days, then you can only get store credit. I feel like Rainbow really has to change their return policy and give customers more time to return merchandise. On the left side of the store is women attire and towards the front kids. On the left side, the selection of clothing is plus size and shoes towards the front. The value is cheap- usually less than $20. When I went to collect my bag, it took the woman some time to actually respond to me while she was fixing clothes on the hangers. Another employee realized she was taking too long and offered to get my bag for me. I thought that was a bit disrespectful to make me wait to just get my bag, but in the future, I will just leave my bags in the car.
