J’adore! If you visit the link posted for the Ooh La La website up there, you’ll get a nice view of the interior of this place! It is located across the street from KAUNE’s on historic Old Santa Fe Trail very easy to find.(BONUS! ~ a generous amount of parking space awaits the shopper!) Upon entering this sweet little boutique, swing music greets you — enhancing the upbeat, positive vibes of the shop. I dunno about you, but hearing those dance tunes from days-gone-by just makes me want to put on a new dress and step out on the town! Well, there are plenty of pretty things here for a woman in need of just such attire! Prada? Chanel? Trina Turk? Yes please! This is a consignment store for those of us looking for a little sumthin’ sumthin’ and who are, perhaps, weary at times of the«thrill of the hunt» that comes with the chances of happening upon such designer rarities at Goodwill or Salvation Army(although I’ll be the first to admit that, hey, it happens!) My personal best-major-find here at Ooh-la-la so far has been a genuine vintage Emilio Pucci cotton batwing top in shades of blue and turquoise — classic Pucci print! — for $ 65. I cannot WAIT ’til summer so I can wear it with my swimsuit and a pair of obnoxiously huge shades(I’ll be attending a festival). Everything in this consistently well-stocked shop is impeccably clean and seasonally relevant. Styles range from casual(Michael Stars T-shirts) to high-end formal(full-length Prada gowns) and I will say ALL are priced reasonably for the quality, newness, and relative rarity of the garment. It is not uncommon to find items on the rack with the original tags still in place, apparently never worn. This little bon-bon of a boutique stocks shoes,(and you’d swear many of them hadn’t been worn) coats and outerwear, pajamas, handbags, intimates(I saw some La Perla bras once!) and accessories — all top quality and at prices you can justify treating yourself for. Everything is nicely-arranged by size and color, making it a breeze to find whatever you want. In closing, I’ll say that what really won my heart about this place, after stopping in a few times and sighing wistfully over the wares, was that I was finally able to purchase a pair of perfectly-fitting bluejeans after making-do for several months with an unflattering pair of saggy-@ss GAP jeans I’d been clinging to since a pretty sizable weight-loss. NOMORE, I decided, and whipped a few pair off the rack to try on… Seven for All Mankind were the pair that followed me home, and I felt pretty sassy about it. After a lifetime of LEVI’s, this was my first pair of «movie-star» jeans, like models can afford ~ neat-o. They fit like a dream. However, I will also emphasize that Ooh-la-la stocks a wide variety of sizes in high-end designer wear, so, you do NOT have to be a stick-figure to shop here! If you are a curvy girl, COMEONIN! You’ll be greeted warmly and find a ton of cool things to try on. I have only been on the purchasing end of the consignment cycle, but there are guidelines right there at the front counter for those wishing to strike a deal for last season’s wardrobe pieces, garments bought but never worn, and other wardrobe castaways. If you’re into the fashion game, and you’re betting to win, get over to this place and score some sweet rockin’ style! They might recognize the label, but trust, they will ~ never ~ know what you paid for it! sssshhhh!
