Such interesting pieces can be found as an origami-structured suits or basic knitwear with unexpected details. Lingo has pieces that allow anyone to show a little personality edge without standing too far out in the crowd. With brands such as Prairie Underground (great organic sweat shirts), Butter dresses, Nature vs. Nurture, Kelly Lane, and Filly, you are sure to find something quirky and unique. The owner Shin Yee Man knows how to choose clothes that are accessible enough for everyone, but have a one-of-a-kind, handmade quality that makes them more personal. A favorite is Cinderloop's grey draped tunic with uncommon red string that tucks and pulls to create a unique shape ($148). Most dresses range from $100-$180 and tops from $30-$100. Some collections are by local designers and organic and handmade pieces can easily be found. The accessories are just as unique as the clothes, with purses, belts, hats, wallets, clutches, earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces found throughout the store. Eccentric bright jewelry are made of beads, feathers, string, precious stones, and silver and range from $20-$150, with the most unique rings made from Horn and Seed Pod for $20-$90.

(That's a hashtag used by another boutique in the nabe, but it fits Love Only as well.) I've gotten a couple of amazingly great dresses there--one a vintage Saks dress, the other a short denim jumper with a ruffle. They also sell handmade jewelry, and I met the jeweler--and bought a pendant, of course. I'm on this block a lot; they have little knickknacks in addition to the clothing, and gifts and cards I've sent to friends.

FIRE OR RETRAIN YOUR SECURITY GUARD…read more My boyfriend and I stopped by this store with one goal in mind: buy a couple of tshirts that only this store has. We ring the doorbell, as the sign says, and out comes the security guard who says the store is at capacity. My boyfriend looks over his shoulder and says there's only 5 people inside. To which the security guard replies "do you understand how shopping works?" ....... Um yes we do.... That's why we are trying to visit this store to buy a shirt....from a clothing store? He finally lets us in after someone leaves. The store now has 6 people total. We enter and immediately my boyfriend sees the shirts that he planned to buy. The shirts are in a plastic sleeve and he is only touching the fabric. He's not taking the shirt outside. The security guard comes over and tells him if he needs help. To which my boyfriend responses "no, I just wanted to know how the shirt felt". The security guard then says he can't take the shirt out of the packaging and my boyfriend responds "yeah I'm not." The security guard then calls a staff member to help my boyfriend out. Remember, this is a SECURITY GUARD. He's occupation and attention should be on managing the front door. We then speak with the staff and my boyfriend's asks for a size L and they say they only have a size M but he can try it on. And then proceeds to walk us to the back of the store and tell us to stand in line. My boyfriend and I are midway through the store and we are contemplating if we should wait in line. I'm not exaggerating when I say the security guard leaves his station and comes straight to boyfriend and then proceeds to tell him he can't be at the back of the store because they are at capacity. There's 4 people in the back! My boyfriend explains the staff brought us here and said to stand in line for the fitting room. The security guard then speaks over my boyfriends, says we can't be here and belittles him. Another staff member gets involved trying to deescalate the situation and says he's sorry. The security guard should have informed the staff if there was a policy in place. I sincerely ask him if this is a normal experience to be followed and harassed by a security guard? My boyfriend tells the security guard that he made shopping here very unpleasant. I cannot express enough to not come here. If you are looking to browse, or with any intention of buying, go somewhere else.

I had a bunch of older sneakers that I no longer wear and were too small-- so I opted to bring a bunch here. I only accepted the offer for two of them, which was probably less than the taxes I paid for them but I figured I'd get lunch with the money. They claim to give you 25% of the selling price but I know that's inaccurate. As I've seen they charge very high amounts for sneakers and clothing that weren't in the greatest of condition. Nonetheless, if you're looking to sell your items, they may accept them, but do not think that you're going to get much money for them.

There is a few security guards around which was nice to see. We walked around and shopped. There were so many great items, vintage like and new to today's fashion. There are so many great sneakers. Pricing is high for some items, but I do understand the cost. Some of those are rare finds. It is pretty organized, but like any thrift store you need to take time and sift through the items. There is a fitting room as well so that is nice. It is pretty large and has a great location.

Some notable things I've purchased that I love: red Marni elastic waist slacks; Theory cropped top; all saints 100% cashmere cardigan. Some duds: jeans Some days I have good days where everything is a great price point and looks good on me and other days I don't.
