The Five Points neighborhood is dotted with a ton of local boutiques and a few vintage shops too…read more Of all of them (and yes, I visited ALL of them in one day), this was the friendliest. I actually found myself wandering in after noticing their huge selection of vintage Dooney & Burke bags from the 1980s, including the same exact style that I had strapped to my body that day. The shopkeepers had eyes like hawks, coming over and asking me all about my bag, which was a gift from my sister and is in super amazing condition. And then this older gent that was shopping chimed in and was like, "What's the deal with these bags? My daughter asked for one for Christmas and I have no idea what I'm doing. Tell me everything." So we did. I browsed a little bit. The merchandise is generally high quality vintage (plenty of recognizable brand names) so the prices vary from medium to high. Most of my time there was spent chatting with what I assume is the owner about all sorts of things though: Dooney & Burkes, other awesome vintage bags, Minneapolis, the 70+ degree weather.

I went in to sell some clothes, and I asked the man there if it was a consignment store. He told me…read more"no". I was confused, and when I looked it up, it does say consignment. He sent me to a buy/sell/trade establishment, and but they gave me $10 for several silk ties bought at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and still in the wrapping as well as some amazing clothing that my mother had before she died (from Jones of New York and Talbotts, almost never worn). I felt like he thought I wouldn't have anything because of the way I was dressed. (I don't dress up to show my status in the world, and clothes are not that important to me.) I really despise what feels like prejudice, and I cannot believe that he lied straight to my face and didn't even tell me of the other consignment store on the street.

Stopped by while in town with my mom. It's in the heart of 5 Points. Found two really cute jackets…read more Loved them both but my luggage was too full of both. The blue is my favorite shade but am kicking myself that I just didn't buy them both and figure out how to wear two coats home. I tried to reach out to the store via their contact email but no response. There were three staff working the day we were there, not overly welcoming. The selection was pretty good. Nicely organized.

Cute, this boutique is…read more (Why am I talking like Yoda?) On my epic day of shopping in Columbia, Wish was one of my stops. The jewelry selection included a ton of colorful statement necklaces ($30-40), which were highlights for me, along with a couple of sparkly dresses and sheer tops. The price points were varied enough that it was easy to find something affordable or something a little bit splurge-worthy. It's not as upscale as Bohemian down the street, so as cute as it is, unfortunately the quality of the clothing is hit or miss. That was really the only downside and it's something that plagues mid-priced boutiques all over the world. Make sure to hit up the Wish outlet that's pretty much right next door too. They have deep discounts and some of the jewelry was just as cute (necklaces only $8 there!).

It's affordable and trendy. Always has a variety of dresses and sizes to choose from. Their sale rack is amazing. The staff could be just a tad more helpful and friendly which is why I didn't rate it a 5 star. But I just really enjoy shopping here because I just know they will have something I will love.
