This store is STILL a Gainesville gem! I've been shopping with dear Lilly (owner) and sweet Nova…read morefor yearssss! Every visit is wonderful, they're both so personable and attentive, and the unique finds are phenomenal. Each visit is at least a 1.5 to 2- hour ordeal as I gab away and meticulously go through each rack (and most times double back). Madewell, J Crew, Urban Outfitters-- oh my! ...and in Gainesville, FL?! I stan. No matter when I visit, there's always something (basically everything) rare and wonderful in this store, and also I run across an amazing shoe or two. Weddings, events, and whatever-- I know I can always find some fabulous piece at Urban. The time and attention put into buying and restocking is clear and evident. The prices are great, and the sales are even better. I have run into some store hour issues post-Covid, but I am also and regrettably aware of a few health issues that make it so. I truly hope to always have this store to visit when I'm in the area. It's become a must-stop, and amazing treat that I look forward to when I'm in town. Thank you Lilly for your years of customer service, for heightening the style game, and for bringing apex brands to Gainesville in one shop. For me, you've truly made your mark!

The sales clerks are quick to set up a room in the cozy dressing area for customers and will begin bringing things back for you to try on if you are interested. I have a hard time picking flattering styles out for myself and I quickly found that Sheila, my salesgirl, has a good eye and was able to put together numerous outfits for me that look and feel great on. The clothing is quite pricy but I think you get your money's worth. Drapes beautifully, feels good, looks elegant and sophisticated. I am still in love with these clothes 2 months later! Compliments galore and I will definitely make it a regular splurge now that I have found this delightful little niche boutique.

They then proceeded to gossip about the interaction after she'd departed, loud enough for me to hear, which I'd have preferred to not hear. The first interaction was a woman tapping on her watch as she approached, not to say welcome, but to tell me they're closing soon. I was aware of their hours, but figured I could run in and find enough new pieces to cover my week-long business trip. This acrid interaction was enough for me to simply put the clothing back and leave. Immediately after exiting the shop, the open signs were pulled in...15mins early. TL:DR: Excellent selection of clothing, ranging from casual chic to nice flowey formal pieces. The staff are, ironically, not down to Earth and not very pleasant or attentive.

Lilly likes to design in pastels that have prints or patterns and can seem a bit flamboyant. Their fit is usually perfect. I love them because with just a couple of pieces you and mix and match into several outfits. This location the sales personnel are a bit too laid back. I had wished they'd shown me around and made suggestions but I was on my own.

I like Cato. They're not cutting-edge or uber-hip--most people don't even seem to realize that…read morethey exist. They don't sell designer clothes. They're trendy ... sorta. What they lack in fashion progression, though, they make up by having solid separates that can really pull an outfit together. Take, for example, one of my Christmas presents, exhibit A that fradulently calls itself a "jegging" but is really just denim-colored stretch pants with a rubber waistband that will simultaneously give me a circular rash and Mom Butt. I needed longer tops to cover up in the back. The stores in the mall let me down. I wasn't sure I'd be able to wear the pants in public, but voila, Cato to the rescue with a long, cowl-neck top, and a gorgeous gray sweater coverall! $42 for the pair, which is less than single items I saw elsewhere. The biggest complaint I have about this store is that the items can be pretty inconsistent--you can go from stuff that's fairly on trend one season to very odd selections in the next--and that the items on the mannequins are all severely clamped to give them an "hourglass" appearance. This can be pretty aggravating when you latch onto a dress that seemingly looks perfect, only to find that it's cut more like a postal mailing carton than a silhouette.
