A little bit whimsy, a little bit downtown, Lee & Birch has an upscale, contemporary vibe that fits in perfectly with the neighborhood. Located in what was once a funky little auto repair shop, the store offers women’s clothing and accessories comparable in price and style to say, Anthropologie, or White House/Black Market. The selection is a small but curated to provide seasonal styles and meet local tastes. I can tell that the staff knows their pieces and their customers well. On my most recent trip the friendly staff member even greeted a few people by first name — you don’t see that at mall stores! The only downside I have encountered(other than I can’t buy one of everything when I visit) is that parking is haphazard. The boutique is located on a busy corner so getting in and out can be tricky during rush hour. Still, it’s worth the visit. I have no doubt something will grab your eye.
