Kaylee

Name; Kaylee

Age; 20

Career; Student

Where She Likes To Shop; Macy's and Nordstrom

Why I Chose Her; Kaylee had on a pair of dark skinny jeans, black boots, a dark scarf and a super cute cream shirt. I loved the way she looked so casual but also trendy with the skinny jeans and boots.

Julia

Name; Julia

Age; 20

Career; Student

Where She Shops; Von Maur

Why I Chose Her; I chose Julia because I loved her boots. I think knee high boots will always be in style for every fall season. I also really liked her top, which had a slight see through quality to it, but also had a really cute button down feature on the front. 

Hannah

Name; Hannah

Age; 20

Career; Student

Where She Likes To Shop; Forever 21, Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe

Why I Chose Her; I chose Hannah because I love the crop top look, and the shredded look at the bottom just gives it a rock and roll kind of feel to the look. Also pairing the shirt with white jeans makes her stand out. 

Jordyn

Name; Jordyn

Age; 19

Career; Student

Where She Likes To Shop; Francesca's 

Why I Chose Her; I loved how she paired a white jean with a dark navy shirt. Even though the rule is to "never wear white after labor day" she wore her winter white jeans and pulled it off completely.

Andrea

Name; Andrea

Age; 20

Career; Student

Where She Likes To Shop; Express and American Eagle

Why I Chose Her; I chose Andrea  because she had an effortless style, but looked absolutely stunning. Colored jean leggings are a big deal this season and she pulled them off effortlessly and with a lot of confidence. 

Stephanie D.

Name; Stephanie D.

Age; 18

Career; Student

Favorite Places To Shop; Charlotte Russe

Why I Chose Her; I chose Stephanie because I really liked the blue banding on her dress. It make a simple little black dress even better. I also really like the way she added tights to her outfit along with an ankle boot to make her dress even more trendy.

Rachel

Name; Rachel

Age; 19

Career; Student

Where She Likes To Shop; Forever 21 and Wet Seal

Why I Chose Her; I loved her blue and black dress the minute I saw it. I've been seeing lots of blue come into trend recently and I thought the way she paired the dress with the boots she was wearing was a great way to make it a winter look and also be able to wear the dress in the spring too. 

6 PM

http://www.6pm.com/

6PM is a website committed to mainly shoes, everything is discounted. Women's, men's and children's. 

There are name brand shoes up to 75% off retail price. You can easily select what style, color, size and brand that you want. 6pm also features a small amount of shoes and handbags, but their main focus is shoes. I really like how easy the site is to navigate and how even the latest styles are on sale. The purchasing process is very easy and you can also send back the shoes for a refund if they end up not working for you once you get them delivered to your house.

Inspire; By Tiffany

Inspire is located in Olathe, Kansas.

By far it is one of the smallest boutiques I have been in, but they have really cute and original things. 

One of my favorite things about Inspire is that unlike most small boutiques, you can also go online to look at items. So if I was looking for anything specific I could go online first and see what they have in store, before driving out there to go look. Inspire only carries women's clothing and a little amount of accessories and shoes.

Amaze

Amaze is a really neat boutique located in Overland Park on 135th and Quivera. It only sells women's and little girls clothing. They have fun little accessories, and knick knacks for things around the front. The store is very well organized, mainly by style of clothing. The associates and managers at the store are always very helpful and are interested in what you are looking for.

Trendz

Trendz is located in Leawood, Kansas right off of 151st and Nall. 

They have over 50 individual boutiques right in the one store. Each separate "boutique" is signed and has a different feel to each area. However, it helps that they put each boutique in the same room that has similar items. So all of the children's clothes are in one area, women's in another, etc. One thing I really like about Trendz is the jean selection. They have lots of different fits, washes and prices. However they all look somewhat like Miss Me's, so if you are not looking for something along the Miss Me line, I would not recommend looking for jeans there.

At first the store is somewhat hard to navigate, but after awhile its easy to figure out how it is organized. One thing that I did not like about Trendz is that the staff there was not very helpful to me or interested in helping me find what I was looking for. I have also heard that the first Thursday of every month they have a 'Girls Night Out' and show what is new in the store to customers and have some snacks and drinks.

 

Francesca's Online

http://www.francescascollections.com/

Not only does Franchesca's have boutiques in 33 different states, but they have a really great online shopping experience. The site is easy to navigate, even easier than shopping in store. They have a new arrival, featured item of the week that is 20% off. The site features everything you could find in store, and then some. Franchesca's Online sells apparel, bags, shoes, jewelry, accessories, and also different gifts. The gifts department sells different trinket like items such as;

 

                                                 Ice Cube Trays                      USB Ports

I love shopping online at Franchesca's because it is easy to find what you are looking for, you dont feel overwhelmed by clothes and products everywhere. Returns are easy, if the product you ordered is not what you thought it would be, you can easily take it into the nearest store and return/exchange it or send it back via mail. The clothes are always very on trend, comfortable and easy to take care of also.

Frankie & Jules

Frankie & Jules storefront 

Frankie & Jules is an unique, small boutique located in Overland Park, Kansas. 

When I first moved to Kansas this is one of the first boutiques recommend to me. Once you step foot in the door you understand why it is just a hidden gem of a store. Frankie & Julies employees make sure that they help you in every way possible. They give their complete honest opinions on what you are trying on, and if they do not like that certain product on you, they will find something similar for you. Frankie & Jules has unique products that I have not seen in any other stores in the Kansas City area. 

The target market for Frankie & Jules is early 20s- early 40s women who are interested in keeping up with the latest fashion trends. Not only does Frankie & Jules sell clothing, but accessories and shoes.
