Lou Lou's is a hidden gem along Bellevue Avenue's exclusive shopping thoroughfare, and you'd be in remiss not to check it out if you find yourself here for the afternoon. It reminds me of a shop that the women of the Gilded Age or Ryan Murphy's Feud would peruse on a leisurely stroll, dressed in their designer finest and browsing for new decor for their summer cottages.
Lou Lou's has everything that a fine home could want for furnishings - whimsical needlepoint pillows, gorgeous dishware (I loved the black and white checkered collection), and even trendy mahjongg sets. The items here make excellent hostess gifts, and everything seems to be hand selected and highly curated.
Amy, the young woman working when I visited, was delightful as well. I can see she has a bright future in interior design and was welcoming and calm, adding to the lovely experience of stumbling upon this truly special Bellevue boutique. read more
