In the ashes of Hemline, a new Em & Lee has sprung up. Hemline is still about, it's just moved…read more I really like Em & Lee. If you're looking for a last minute dress, top, shoes, or scarf for your night out, avoid University Drive and just head here. The clothes are affordable, but aren't genera-hip (ie bland) like some other, cheaper shops a block over. You're not really going to run into someone else with the exact same dress. And you're not going to be wearing much polyester. The cotton to poly-fiber ratio is about 5:5 here which is saying something, especially since the clothes are relatively inexpensive and relatively well-made. Again, this sounds mildly negative, but last minute is last minute and I wouldn't want you to waste your time either paying too much or getting a sub par outfit somewhere else. In fact, the last time I was here, I almost got a really cute, yet edgy strapless dress. Creamy white with a graphic silver, gold, and bronze pattern, and a fullish, layered skirt. Super cute, but I'm not certain how chilly or blazing hot New Years is going to be. Hmm. There are now five Em & Lee shops in town. Of the ones I've been to, including West Grey, I like this one the best. It's the warm wood interior. I'm not certain if that's left over from Hemline, but well, it's more inviting. Also, there were no sixteen year old River Oaks prima donna wannabes flitting about.

A girl's gotta maintain her image and her checkbook. Em & Lee was a great solution for cute cocktail dresses at a reasonable price. I came here upon the recommendation of Allie N. and I'm glad I listened! I had previously spent a bit of time browsing the sales racks of various stores (both department and independent retail shops) and couldn't find anything under $100 and wasn't skankified. I purchased a pale pink/nude-toned dress that was a poly-chiffon. It had a rouched top with a pleated skirt. It was $76 (regular price!) and an appropriate length. They also have a variety of cute tops and casual dresses. It's trendy but not too much. Although, the sizing is more like junior sizing so you may find yourself in between sizes. I appreciate the coupons they have on their website and facebook page. I got $10 off of my purchase because of that.

I am so ashamed that I haven't set foot inside this store before. The things I have been missing!…read more Diane Von Furstenberg pieces nestle cozily with Free People, Nicole Miller, and, one of my personal faves, Matty M in this Rice Village shop. Bags, shoes, more shoes, and tempting jewels are tucked into corners, waiting to help you complete the perfect look. Eveningwear on one side, casual/business on the other. Heaven! The pieces in this store definitely effect a more elegant/stylish/sophisticated vibe than a trendy one. You know, cutting-edge in a good way, in a way that means you might even get a few seasons out of your purchase. Prices seemed to range from $40ish to $200 on most of the casual-ish things, but I didn't venture into the fancier stuff for fear that I'd soon find myself in the dressing room. Hemline also stocks the things that you need to make your clothes behave, like fashion tape and...well, ladies, you know. I almost had to stock up! I will definitely be back here once my budget caves in to my heart's longings.

The boutique was smelling so nice inside, many of the oil fragrances were there throughout the store. Most of the stuff here was different and unique but was way pricier compared to other boutiques.

Staff were very friendly and were smiling and ready to help.
