Wish

I went in because I needed some new sterling silver earring clip/​clasps and live really close so rather than drive to a specialty shop I thought Id just buy a whole pair of earrings and take off the clip/​clasp part. She totally could have sold me a pair or earrings and made an easy sale but instead she directed me to fusion beads on stone way to save me money which was super nice of her. That said, will probably come back and buy a pair of earri gs anyway, there were some cute ones and great selection!

A great selection of unique, distinctive clothing at surprisingly reasonable prices. Madalyn is cheerful, friendly, and gives great advice on what looks good on you and what looks less than ideal. I love how frequently their stock changes — it means I can stop in regularly and find something new each time.

I’ve been a Wish fan for a long time, but was in the Wallingford location the other day and was so impressed I had to write about it. I took off my «fitbit» bracelet in the dressing room and left it there. She was nice enough to remember where I said I worked and called and tracked me down at my office. SO thoughtful. And I bought the most amazing dress.

This is one of the only clothing boutiques in Wallingford, so I frequently stop by to browse. I have bought a few items of clothing and some jewelry as well as a couple of gifts. The store is cute, but I’m usually underwhelmed by the actual clothes. I have found one or two things I’ve loved, but only one or two in almost two years of going to this store.
The main reason I am docking stars for this review is that the shopping experience is always really, really annoying. I guess they train their employees to talk your ear off the entire time you’re there about anything and everything. I understand a greeting and asking if I need help, but seriously every time I pick up an item, the person working (ALL of them that I’ve experienced) rush over to tell you how cute it is, how awesome it is, how many of it they have at home, what they wear it with, and yes, even WHAT IT IS. Okaaaaay… thanks; I know it’s an infinity scarf. I feel like I can’t touch or pick up a single item without inspiring a barrage of worthless information and observations by Miss Obvious.
Since there are so few other places nearby to look for clothes on a whim, I keep going here; but seriously, I have developed a cringe reaction every time I open the door anticipating the over-​the-​top customer engagement… And I’m from the South and I like friendly! This is just phony and annoying. Please just let me shop and I will be more likely to buy.

The owners of this place are so nice. Good selection, I only wish they would have a few options for men. I like fashion too!

The prices and selection are awesome! I absolutely love the taste of the buyers and designers with Wish — I walk in and right away can identify 50 things I feel the immediate need to put on my body.
Everything is adorable. And I love how often the stock changes! I go in nearly every week and find something new each time. I have to be careful though, so that I don’t end up spending my entire paycheck here…
It *is* small, but I adore that it’s a boutique, the items are unique and yet they still have a great sale rack and plenty of selection. I hope they are successful here in Wallingford because I’d love to make this a regular spot for much time to come!

Great little shop with a good selection of locally-​designed shirts and dresses. Jewelry, scarves, and hats are also propped around the shop to help you mix and match them with the clothes. Salesperson was extremely helpful and able to offer several suggestions. Sizes run true, so if you’re usually a large, don’t try on the medium!

I don’t normally give negative reviews on places but this place deserves it. I bought a dress, yes it was on sale, and when i went to wear it that night the tie broke off. I didn’t really care I just took it back and tried to exchange it because I really liked it. She wouldn’t do an exchange on it even though it was literally falling apart at the seams. I realize it was on sale but when its bad construction they should at least allow me to exchange it. I am a big boutique shopper, specifically because they are usually easier to work with if anything happens and you feel like you are dealing with a person who actually cares. I do appreciate that she sewed the tie back on but she shouldve just exchanged it.

I wish Wish was bigger! It’s a tiny location, however it’s packed with treasures. I don’t exactly think it’s the cheapest little boutique, but you probably won’t run into anyone else wearing the same clothes as you. Super cute store, so why four stars?
1. Well, it’s tiny.
2. None of the cute sundresses people keep raving about were in the $-$$ mark.
Maybe I’m just unlucky? In any case, I like to pop in here anytime I’m on Roosevelt.

Absolutely fabulous store! The prices are great and the clothes are exciting and affordable.

This is a great little store that probably has what you’re looking for. They manage to fit an impressive array of pretty, cute, eccentric clothes, lamps, jewelry, and other miscellany into this little space. Rather than seeming crowded or cluttered, though, I’ve always found it to be fun and homey inside. Plus, the owner (whose name I unfortunately don’t know, but is often working behind the counter) is super friendly and helpful. It is always a joy to shop here!

(3.5 stars, as my heart belongs to Les Amis…)
Tiny, cute boutique with a whimsical twist.
The things are cute, and there’s a bit of a delightful magical quality in the place.
Definitely a fun place to check out!

Funky fun shop, I was just checking out Phinny and found this. Has jewelery and fun little items… and then the dresses! the clothes are fun and just a little Seattle edgy. Anything beyond jeans and fleece is pushing it for seattlites. I found a cute charcoal dress that you could dress up or down. And most of the dresses were around $ 50! they said they get in new items every week. Can’t wait to get some of my friends there.

Very cute little store. I wasn’t overly impressed with the clothes — but if they are your style, you’ll be happy as they are affordable! I almost bought an *adorable* dress for $ 48 — I looooved it, but the darn thing was a mustard color, and I don’t think I have the skin color to pull it off. :-(There are tons more than just clothes: all sorts of odds and ends, fancy soap, tiny boxes, adorable (and light!) compact mirrors for $ 3.95, scarves for $ 16, peruvian glass earrings for $ 17, pretty handbags for around $ 35… lots of jewelry. All prices were reasonable. And the store lady was very helpful. Recommended, and I’ll be going back!

I used to live directly across the street from Wish and, let me tell you, it is an awesome neighborhood store. You’re not going to find your quart of milk or Sunday Times here. You are going to find an amazing array of baubles, and bangles, and beads. Everything is attractively displayed making it so much fun to wander around searching for treasures. It is clear the very friendly folks who run the place put a lot of care into selecting items that are high quality and interesting. Prices are quite reasonable for a shop of this sort. More than once, I found myself walking out with a trinket or two that a half hour earlier I did not know I had to have.
Every time I go back to Greenwood, I am happy to see Wish is still going strong. It is so hard for small stores like this to succeed; they are obviously doing something right. I’m hoping they stick around for years to come.

This is a great little boutique. It definitely reminds you of the cardinal rule of clothes shopping: TRY IT ON.
My friend and I both found really cute little sumer dresses after many misses each. We are two totally different sizes with completely different needs when it comes to dresses. We probably tried on 4 – 7 dresses each and we both found something we couldn’t live without. There are lots of other cute things in the store also.
I scored the cutest purple ¾ sleeve turtleneck from the clearance rack outside the store. Once again, lots of misses, but when it’s right, it is SO right.
I also loved the little handmade cards. I got a beautiful one to send to a friend.
Prices run anyhere from $ 26 – 70 for a dress depending on the fabric and style of each one.
Love it and will return.

So I should start out by saying I am sitting here typing this out dressed in a dress from Wish! I have only been there once and $ 300 something dollars later I left with 6 dresses, 1 candle, and a blazer. If you are doing the math on that one right now, yes they have AMAZING prices. The sales girl was sweet, helpful and everything she told me to try on was a perfect suggestion and I ended up buying every single one. They also have these amazing lamps and chandeliers hanging that were calling out to me but I saved for a future purchase! They also had an enjoyable amount of knick knacks to entertain me and my wallet. Wish has a certain style: bohemian meets girly girl meets sexy so you are either going to love everything or hate everything I would imagine. Lucky for me I loved every single thing and honestly would have bought one of everything.
PROS: cute shop, cute sales girl, adorable merchandise, FANTASTIC PRICES as the dresses are all under $ 50!!! EVEN BETTER SALES PRICES!!! (Do NOT miss the sales rack outside I got the deals of century, I had to pinch myself to make sure, I thought you could only get prices like that in overcrowded, disorganized Forever 21 stores!)
CONS: the store is pretty small in size, only one dressing room, the dresses run small so don’t have a heart attack if you go up in size and if you are a plus size I would just not even try anything on (my girlfriend did and had major weight issues all day from it), THEY DO NOT DO RETURNS only exchanges and store credit, so it is not the place to go crazy in shopping and expect to return it after admiring it for a week (don’t lie we all have done it once in our life)
Overall it’s a great shop that will be getting lots of return business from me! I find it endearing that places like this exist where I wouldn’t mind owning one of everything! Plus I feel like the owner and I would get along great seeing how I would love to own one of everything she personally picked out!

Looking for a messenger bag made out of Target and Fred Meyer bags? Or maybe some expensive ear muffs? Wish may be your place. The shop is stocked with a lot of quirky items along with some cute items of clothing and unique jewelry. There’s hardly enough space to turn around in and the prices seem pretty expensive, but it is worth a stop once in a while.

Wish is a cool little store in Phinney Ridge with funky lights, clothes with panache, and a smattering of other neat things. Check out the cool soft lighting they have, like the shaped, cloth-​covered wire-​formed lights and the beautiful star cutout hanging ones… always a favorite of mine!
If you drive there from the South, you’ll know you’re there when you see the fairytale mural on the wall above it.
Somewhat $$ but there is always a sale rack outside too. Great place for gifts or if you just hate to wear what everyone else is wearing.

This little boutique set up shop on Greenwood and provides a colorful vibe amongst barber shops and antique stores. The random selection is small but the prices are great. Little candle chandeliers line the ceiling and clothing and gifts decorate the walls. Tanks by unknown designers are about $ 25 and you can get a beautiful card for about $ 3. best find: a birthday party in a box
