I'm addicted and there should be a 12 step program for this store. I live in CA and visit my BFF often who lives on 103rd. She told me about Shishi and since then I always visit. Yael has an amazing selection of affordable yet unique and chic apparel. It's a small but impactful boutique. When I go through the racks, it's usually a hard no, or a "I have to have this" reaction. That's because she seems to be able to choose clothes that you won't find elsewhere for less than $300-500 but each piece is perfect for a certain type of person. And so affordable - usually around $100-140 for a beautiful jumpsuit, dress, jacket, pair of great jeans, etc. That's why it's so dangerous to come here. The clothes are beautiful, unique and most pieces can go from office to an evening event easily. And many have pockets, which is a bonus. Come here and you'll see why it has close to 5 stars! read more

This store is fantastic in every sense. The interior, the prices, the service...I cannot say enough good things. My look is a lot Debbie Phelps meets a hint of Shauna Sand, it's very confusing and very 2008. I often look in the mirror thinking I'm like 70% there if someone could just bippity boppity boo me...Enter Shishi. I am not a shopper; I walk into most stores, become overwhelmed by display or price, and bounce quick. I walked in to Shishi on a Tuesday evening after seeing this store online carrying a selection of cool stylish clothes AND concert tees??? I felt so seen! This vibe continued in person. I will always shop here for new stuff and continue to compliment my new wardrobe I purchased last night. The staff was exceptional and honest with me. They didn't make me feel silly or old or out of my element. Thank you so much. I'm so excited I found this store!!! read more

Forget huge stores, lines, crowds, insane prices, shop local and find unique, beautiful pieces that you can drive in peace. This store has an amazing selection, beautiful salespeople, incredible jewelry all hand made and great quality and so much to discover. Stop by for a minute and leave with things that will complement your style and enhance your wardrobe. Need sweaters, scarves, gloves? It's all here and soo well priced, great quality, you can get multiple colors and mix and match to lift up your mood on dark, cold, dreary winter days. There're beautiful sparkles to get the holiday season started and so many things you can buy as presents for your friends, you will need to bring a list. They will wrap things for your beautifully and for free. They will advise you on how to pair a bulky sweater for a silk skirt or pants for a comfy but still dressy look. They will help you elevate your style and you will come back again and again because this shopping experience is pleasant and fun, the opposite of stress and crows in large department stores. read more

Stumbled across the store the first when I still lived on the UWS & came back a) bc of the nice things they have & b) bc of the personnel- super nice customer service & great prices! read more

You may have to hunt a bit for what you want, but the store is friendly, small, and has good prices. Some of the things are really nice.

Visiting a friend recently, I packed like a schmuck (for the weather and comfort). Needed some new digs for my NYC visit. We stumbled into Shishi. It was fabulous. Usually, I detest hyper-involved (aggressive?) sales people... But there was a lovely, passionate, knowledgeable petite blonde with a charming accent (may be the owner... she is featured on the website)... She was truly gifted. I tried on a dress that didn't quite work; she rushed me with a belt and a nip and tuck... it was adorable. I tried on another dress that didn't quite work; she rushed me and told me to go in the dressing room and put it on backwards (for reals... it's a "fix" for "busty girls")... and hot damn... It was adorable. I ended up leaving there in love with everything I bought, in love with her and her store... and when I got home... hubby loved my new purchases so much he encouraged me to shop there online. Everything was unique (but not weird) and flattering (my body is an hourglass on steroids... it can be hard to find things that fit well... my buddy who was with me has the opposite figure but shared in my positive experience)... I love this place. You will too. Can't wait to go back. Not cheap but not crazy expensive either. read more

I absolutely love this store, I live in Brooklyn and I'm not on the upper west side that often, but I make a point to go to this store every time I'm in the area. I love that they have stylists that can help you put pieces together and outfits. everything is quality, And I feel most of their items are very fairly priced. I love it here, one of my favorite boutiques in New York. Planning to bring my mom here specifically next time she visits. read more

I came to the store looking for some cute clothes, and I found a sweatshirt with skulls on the sleeves. It was adorable. I ended up purchasing the much smaller size than I normally would as it made for a really cute crop top sweater. I was told that they normally sold those in a kids size but only adults have shown interest in it for the crop top look. The employees were kind, and I can't wait to wear the sweater. Although the store is pretty pricy, the style, the unique items, and the quality make everything worth it. I hope to take a look at their pants in the near future. read more

Just a reply to the comment by Orly; the sales lady who sold the pantyhose, Comando, represented that they are rip resistant. When I mentioned that to Ariel, she said, " I spoke to the girls. I apologize if that's the impression you got." I have also learned that they were so upset with my review that they are trying to bury it by asking friends to write good reviews. Sort of in the manner in which Ariel begs for votes on instagram. read more

Shishi has such a diverse collection of styles and clothing that have been expertly curated by the owner Yael! If you need to get styled PROPERLY Shishi is the place to go. Styling is made fun and accessible and there is such a great sense of family and friendship . I used to buy crappy jeans and clothes but everything at Shishi is elevated and I still feel like myself but in a more fashionable way read more

Shi Shi has been my go to NYC boutique for years. The styles are really well curated, and the team there is wonderful. They really understand clothes and fit, and can put you in something you wouldn't have picked for yourself but you are so glad they suggested it because it works. They always go above and beyond and are so helpful. Also, the prices are great and the clothes are well made. Anytime I have friends visiting from out of town, they always make a point to shop at Shi Shi. read more

I love Shishi! I've moved away from NY, but every time I'm in town, I make the trek uptown to shop at Shishi. I love their selection. I've found several things there I adore, including the perfect work dress, the perfect beach dress, and, most recently, a magical sluggily-stylish jumpsuit. I also love that everything they have is unique; you won't end up accidentally twinning with someone. The experience is also amazing. It feels like shopping with your friends. Helen is my favorite--she always tells me if something looks horrible on me, and also finds stuff that I would've have tried on. Highly recommended. read more

This is for a fashionista the single best place to shop for top fashion pieces a reasonable price. The owners r beyond helpful, honest, and informative. The ambiance is divine, and I have met so many new friends there. The stylists r absolutely incredible especially the owner who seems to have a doctorate in tucking. Meaning that one outfit can change immensely with a simple tucking in. One can learn a lot from her. It's also dog friendly and baby friendly. If u want to spend some wonderful time, shopping and conversing, GO TO SHISHI! You won't be disappointed! read more

Went to this wonderful boutique today to pick up a dress as it has unseasonably warm this visit to NYC. I was amazed! This is truly a gem! Beautiful clothes, affordable, super helpful owner! I will be back! read more

I recently moved 44 blocks uptown, and after discovering stores like Pookie and Sebastian and Wink had shuttered, I went on Yelp to see what offerings close to my home were available. Shishi is an amazing discovery. Cathy, the owner, and Meridith the Girl Friday are just wonderful, kind, empathetic, funny, and stylish women! The clothing section is current, adorable, and affordable spanning from coats by BB Dakota, vests by Lovestitch, dresses by Veronica M to Alternative organic cotton tops and Junkfood band tees. The jewellery-- with designers like Malry Morletti-- often spotted at pricier stores like Free People, is gorgeous and sporting a lower price tag. They even carry footwear, including on-trend Seychelles 'Lucky Penny' and 'Sanctuary' boots, not to mention buttery but budget-friendly bags by Liebskind and belts by Ada Collection. The best thing about this store are definitely the women running it. Both are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, never-ever pushy, and honest about sizing, stock availability, and how their items look on you. I cannot recommend this boutique enough! read more

I was walking by after getting my nails done and saw these cute shoes in the window. I walked in and immediately fell in love with this boutique. The Ambiance is chic and very charming. Elle (Sales lady) suggested a dress that looked so cute on me. She was very helpful without being to pushy. I love that! This is my new go to store in my hood. I walked out with a dress, shoes, jewelry and did not break the bank in doing so. Price is right, great selection and amazing help. read more

The five foota in there knows her fashion. Going to Shi Shi is truly like having your own stylist to bring out the beauty you already possess but given a little Shi Shi touch and you look like a rock star! the boutique may seem deceivingly small but the five foota has impeccable taste for any body type. Her enthusiasm and knowledge for will whisk you away and make you feel like you are modeling for NYC Fall Fashion Week. I also love that she commissions local jewelry artists and sells their wares. read more

Awesome boutique, awesome prices and very kind and helpful sales associate Develyn! Come to Fiorentini-Baker soon! Ciao read more

A little hidden gem in the Upper West side! Love the style, and the unique clothes and accessories they have. Coming from France, I'm very picky with the quality of my clothes and the style but I finally found the perfect store for me! read more

I love ShiShi it's one of the few great little boutiques left in the Upper West Side. The service is always personalized and they truly have your best interest in mind, Yael and her staff are passionate about what they do and are incredibly talented. I put on weight during the pandemic and could not fit into anything I owned, it was so nice to actually feel pretty and sexy after being styled there. I often get compliments when I wear items for there. I have taken many friends there and they always walk out feeling good themselves and their purchases. There is also never any pressure to buy, this place has been my saving grace during the pandemic. A true neighborhood gem! read more

One of the best shops in NYC, the owner curates an amazing selection and everyone at shishi really goes the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and having fun! what a great shopping experience! read more

Let me start by saying I hate shopping, and I never write reviews. I was in dire need of a new outfit . Ive heard about this store from all my friends, but always preferred ordering clothes online from department stores. I decided to go. What an experience. The owner was so friendly and kind. Above and beyond service. Found 3 amazing unique outfits and she showed me how to dress each up or down. I'm going back here! read more

Whatever you are looking for, for any every occasion, Shishi has it. If you are the kind of person who just goes into stores for inspiration, be ware, it's nearly impossible to leave without buying at least one item. The clothing is always the latest, but there are so many classic staple pieces to keep in your wardrobe for years to come. The prices are fair and the energy in the store is amazing. Like visiting your best friend's living room. The staff makes you feel at home and never pushes you to buy anything. They will suggest you try styles beyond your usual choices not to push anything on you, but to show you styles that will look great on you that you wouldn't ever try... Great for gifts, accessories, and amazing jewelry (with fair prices) that you can't find anywhere else in New York and the states. I love it! And you will too!! read more

Yes! This place is super cute. At first when I walked in, I didn't think I would see anything. I was greeted by two lovely women, one of them being the owner. She has a brilliant and bright personality. I found a dress that I wanted to try - this beautiful long sleeved turquoise maxi-dress. She suggested I try a jumpsuit as well, which did look fabulous. I bought the dress, and will maybe go back and get the jumpsuit. This store was hopping - that's because you can tell the owner cares about her store and she has an eye for what looks good on a person. You can tell she genuinely enjoys it! read more

Was looking for 1-2 dresses for a weekend event, did research and found Shishi. Minutes after walking in, Kathy had an armful of options for me to try on - some things I would have never chosen....yet everything looked great! It is a good problem to have when there are too many good choices! I left the store with 3 dresses, a jacket and a belt. "You've been Shishi-ed!", Kathy says. She got that right too. This store does a fantastic job of curating unique and fashionable styles, but the service is what makes it a new go-to boutique for me. read more

A little outside of my price point but here you'll get timeless pieces that you can wear over and over again. I got this really nice pink dress that was my staple daytime wedding, church and event look. The staff are so helpful and apparently they get new stock two times a week so you're bound to find something that you like. read more

Fantastic shop!! I went in for a last minute Valentine's Day dress and came out with 2, a pair of shoes, and some great gold jewelry to boot! Elle (shop owner I believe) was terrifically helpful and stylish. She helped me pick things that compliment my figure and was tremendously low pressure when it came to purchasing. Very affordable items for such a gorgeous boutique! I know I will be shopping here again and again :-). read more

Cute little boutique on the UWS. Good selection of dresses and workwear (blouses, sweaters, etc). They also have great jewelry made by not NYC locals but there is one Brazilian designer and another one who is from Israel. They make grey pieces! Staff is friendly and attentive as well! read more

Best boutique shopping experience EVER. Love the staff, styles, and attitude of the entire place - had been looking for a dress to a cocktail party for weeks with no success; tried Shishi and found something perfect in 1 minute. And the staff are sooo helpful, friendly, and amazing with advice - it's no wonder they have regulars who won't shop anywhere else. Not to mention that the price point is perfect! A true gem, especially for the UWS! read more

I randomly walked into Shishi & found a very charming, boutique shop. what caught my eye was a teal-blue, convertible, wrap dress in their window arrangement. I didn't walk out of the store with any items, but I will say, their service is incredibly sweet. I've never seen a store owner drop what they were doing (looked like inventory) to come over and say hello and answer questions I have about an item. I am still doing my homework on those wrap dresses, but I love love love, this cute little storefront. read more

Amaaazing dress selection!!! A little pricier than I'm used to, but I'm always guaranteed to find a handful of dresses that I love. The employees are super helpful (shout out to Devlin and the lady with the curly blonde hair)-- they'll make recommendations and give you feedback. Got a ton of compliments on the dress I purchased there for graduation. A mix of casual and a little more formal dresses. Will be back when I get paid! read more

If you don't want to go to Bllomindales, Sacks, etc I suggest you get your behind to Shishi. I found great brands for great prices and my wife couldn't be happier with their selection. Highly recommended! read more

fantastic jewelry, great clothing brands, and staff with a fantastic instinct for shape, color and what looks good on me? I'll be back, frequently and bringing friends :) read more

I went in last weekend in a panic because I was looking very last minute outfit for an important event. Stacey and Elle were incredibly helpful, and I had so much FUN trying on clothes with them. Would literally get drinks with these ladies. They knew what would look good on my body type and made me feel confident, and I left feeling very excited about my purchase. I will 100% come back again! read more

I went to shishi with a $150 budget for a dress to wear at my cousin's wedding. They found me exactly what I was looking for, and I'm sure I'll wear the cool red number again and again. There was a slight flaw in the dress, and they let me exchange it (and even reordered it for me!). Any time I want to treat myself with a nice addition to my wardrobe, I know where I'll head. read more

I came here a couple of weeks ago and found a bunch of really cute/comfortable clothing that fit really well and super hip :) I'll definitely make my way back again very soon! read more

Shishi is my favorite boutique in all of New York City!!! Always full of cute clothes, best customer service and great prices. I come all the way from Brooklyn (the only reason I even go to Upper West Side) because it is worth it every time. read more

My new favorite store on the upper west side. Recently had a baby and went shopping for clothing to wear to a wedding in Cabo. Kathy had me outfitted for every single day of my trip in about 45 minutes with dresses that I love and will wear again. Such a nice place, they charged my phone while I was in the dressing room. I have been back again and the second time they babysat my child while I tried on more clothing. Great clothing for the price point. Love it here. read more

This store is an Upper West Side GEM! Backstory - I had twins about 14 months ago and it has been hard for me to find clothes that fit right post-delivery. The ladies at Shishi always find flattering things for me to try on and they tell me the TRUTH. They don't just try and sell me any thing or put pressure on me to buy. I love going in there and the price point is fair. I've gotten some great tops that range in price from $40-$80. I got a super cute black jumpsuit that can be worn year round for $120. They always have gorgeous, unique jewelry that you will not find at other chain shops. Please go support this fantastic store! read more

A store that's so right it's wrong. The staff are super knowledgeable, friendly and they have a great selection of merchandise. Despite the fact that it seems small they always have what you need for every occasion. I can't stop going in their and my wallet can't take it anymore!!! read more
