I went to the opening of The Bee and Thistle and was so happy. Men's clothing was so great (my boyfriend who isn't super trendy found 3 things). It is a great selection of both men's and women's clothing that doesn't look like everything else you see. The jewelry is fun and funky. I bought a beautiful necklace from a local designer. They even told me the name of the piece. It is a fun, funky place where you can find something for anyone. It isn't crowded or overwhelming. I love it.
Pros: affordable fun clothes and great jewelry

I have been a regular customer at this AWESOME boutique for several years now. It is a great place to go for decent quality, trendy clothes without spending a lot of money. They also have great jewelry and purses/handbags that are reasonably priced to help you complete your look. With clothing going out-of-style so quickly these days, this is a great way to stay in fashion without spending your entire paycheck on an outfit! This boutique appeals to women ages 13 to 50 (well, a youthful 50), who enjoy making a hip, urban fashion statement.

I have been in here twice and was warmly greeted by the staff, I told them what I wanted and they pointed to things that would fit, items they owned and popular things. They were friendly in a very non-plastic way. It was fairly busy (Sunday afternoon) and they were checking in and helping all their customers. The girl at the regsiter was chit-chatty and made me feel comfortable and at home. The selction is nice, varied and the prices are very resonable (esp. for the area, dresses $45! full-price) Eventhough they are owned by Sole (reviewed as well) they seem to have a much better staff with a great outlook!!!
Pros: location, selection and great staff
Cons: none

This is my all time favorite shop! Whenever I make my way down to 23rd Street, I have to stop here. They have the cutest clothes, shoes, purses, belts, hats, jewelry, etc. They have great prices on tops, and sometimes they run in multiple colors! The service is great, and the ladies who work there are extremely nice. I would really recommend stopping by to see what they have.
Pros: A variety of clothes, Great accesories, Customer service
Cons: Parking

This is THE place to find cool, unique gifts at great prices! If you like the jewelry you see at Twist, but their prices are too steep, check out The Bee & Thistle - just across the street next to Urban Outfitters. GREAT jewelry in every price range, hip gifts for kids and really cool stuff for home - plus some great cocktail items, candles,funny cards, coasters, soaps, etc.,- and they gift wrap! They also have a boutique-style collection of fabulous shoes. I always find the perfect gift at this shop! GREAT customer service, too.
