Ivy Hill Boutique

This location is closing and has marked down everything 75% off. I bought a $ 100 BB Dakota dress, an earring display case, a tank and a couple of other items for $ 55. They’ll only be open for another week, and their other location in Ladue will be their only location.

This store is one of the best shopping places in the west end. Although it seems like it may be so expensive, it is surprisingly reasonable! There are a few expensive items, but they are beautifully made and unique. The sales girls are so friendly and helpful! Melanie is my favorite. She has helped me design necklaces, and she is a master at planning an outfit. They have everything from little plastic rose rings and twist bands to intricate lace dresses. Ivy hill sells major brands like Free People and also small designers. Every day is a different store, and their sale items are such a great bargain! Make a day if it in the central west end with lunch and shopping. This is a saint Louis treasure!

Ivy Hill is my go to in the CWE for a date night outfit, a birthday gift for a girlfriend, some funky accessories and just about everything in between. Ivy Hill carries some unique brands that cross all price points and they truly have great options for all occasions. I also love that they carry some local STL designers… how awesome! Icy Hill also has some great seasonal sales, I always walk out with more than I planned during their sales! Their staff is just the best, they are so helpful and offer honest opinions on how somethings looks when I can’t decide. Plus the store is absolutely adorable, I love the set up and it’s organized very well.

Okay, I’m NOT traditional trendy boutique shopper (comfort style, jeans, great shoes, vintage, etc)…however, when I’m in the area, I like to stop here to look at accessories.
Their jewelry is FAB. I am in love with Nicole Richie’s line of jewelry, House of Harlow, which they carry here at prices that are reflective of internet store. If you like mid-​century, modern, retro pieces, stop in here to check out this line. It’s not cheap for what it is (base metals, costume), but its very cool.
This shop has other fun jewelry at all price points… some of them rather cheap.
If you dig the clothing, they always have a rack that is deeply discounted.
The location is sandwiched in between Culpepper’s & SubZero on Euclid. Check it out… you won’t leave empty handed.

This place is my #1 splurge spot in Saint Louis. Anytime this poor grad student lands on some extra cash, I make an Ivy Hill run. I recently took my two best friends here while they were visiting and we ravaged through all the accessories. I left with a necklace with a gold fleur de lys charm and my birthstone. My friends snagged Big Buddha bags on sale that I had bought full price at Nordstrom a few months back. They also got their friends and sisters necklaces and earrings as Saint Louis souvenirs. Beats a shot glass!
Besides having awesome accessories, this place has no shortage of gorgeous clothing. You can tell that each piece was chosen with careful thought. No rummaging through racks here, you just pick up and love! Sure, most of it is super expensive but this isn’t H&M quality clothing.

I’ve been in here a couple of times during my years at SLU and I usually walk out with one or two small items. I never really found any clothing I liked enough to drop $ 200 on (poor student here) but I did find two amazing things:
— Rose Earrings. They are just too cute! I want them in every color.
— Bag tags. I got one shaped like a big ice cream cone. It’s metallic pink and it really brightens up my generic all-​black roller luggage and makes my bag easier to spot on the conveyor at the baggage claim. I am amazed at how well it has held up over the years.
I debated buying the Groupon for Ivy Hill because I figured $ 25 for $ 50 worth of stuff is a pretty good deal BUT when I looked at their website, they didn’t have any clothing for under $ 50, just bags and necklaces and stuff. I guess maybe I might have to go to the store and see if there’s anything I’d want on the sale rack that I could use the discount for. It kind of sucks being a poor college kid.
Anyway I guess I kind of rambled there, lol, but anyway. w.r.t. customer service, I’ve always been greeted by a very friendly lady (or two) behind the counter and they always seem like they’re in a good mood and willing to help you find something – even when I roll in with 3 – 4 noisy girlfriends in tow. ;)
BTW if you are a fashionista/​brand-​lover, you’d probably like this place. If you are a poor college kid, you might still like this place, just not able to afford much of the designer brands. If that’s the case, college kids, I’d recommend you check out the boutique on Boyle because the most I’ve ever paid for clothing there was $ 45something for a dress. But that being said, I like the accessories at Ivy Hill a lot better than other nearby places.

Ok, I promise this is my last Ivy Hill update as I’m sure everyone is getting sick of hearing about my saga. BUT, I have to upgrade them after getting a charming email from Ivy Hill owner, Hillary. I really blasted them in my previous two reviews because of the lack of verbal acknowledgement about their store credit only returns and all sale items are final sales policies.
Hillary apologized for all the confusion and explained their policies in detail. She also let me return the top I bought on sale for store credit. So my very bitter feelings have turned into warm and fuzzies thanks to one simple email. If only all small business owners were so involved…

The woman at the counter was really nice. There are tons of cute little finds in this shop! Loved the variety. Something felt a little off though. Not sure what.
I love that they showcase local designers here!

Ivy Hill is an upscale clothing boutique with an adorable and unique selection of clothing and items in a small, friendly, and accessible setting. They make upscale shopping accessible for the average person. Although I don’t earn enough money to shop there regularly, I like to stop in for gifts and to see what unique items they have to offer. The staff is classy yet down-to-earth…everything the average shopper wants in a boutique that offers quality items and extra-​special pieces to aspire to!

Any woman in her right shopping mind can’t resist stopping in Ivy Hill — it’s a fact! They carry some of the most adorable coats, dresses and handbags. I recently purchased a pair of earrings here for a good friend of mine. They looked expensive and cost less than $ 30.
If I was able to manage my money better, I would be a «regular» here. Now that I don’t have to buy «work clothes» anymore, I hope to be able to purchase some cute clothes from Ivy Hill!

Just what this corner in the CWE needed. Ivy Hill boasts a charming, well-​edited selection of clothing, jewelry, and accessories (though, alas, no shoes). I came here on the recommendation of a friend and found the store to be refreshingly attitude-​free. There was a small sale rack, and, though I would have preferred the dressing rooms to have doors (as they were facing the entrance) it was an overall stress-​free, pleasant, shopping experience. Among stalwart labels Orla Kiely, French Connection and 525 there were also a few unknowns at reasonable price points.
