London Vanessa R

I have to say that I just adore Vanessa's style and panache, it really speaks in her collections. I have bought a few pieces including a couple of dresses and suits. The pieces never fail to derive a compliment and the question, ""where did you buy that?"" Pros: Unique & Gorgeous Cons: when Vanessa is not in the store :( more

Truly great clothing pricy but worth it! For accessories I like this unique site Yours Elegantly they have elegant pashmina cashmere shawls wraps and scarves. Pros: Unique and elegant couture more

So it says write as if telling a friend - so here goes: All I know is that since leaving England I miss the high street on a Saturday. Now I have found somewhere I like to go. Its kind of a cross between a mad house and the most fabulous boutique you have ever been in! I bought two really tight fitting shirts with big cuffs which I absolutely love - and a crazy leather and wool skirt. Vanessa was in there when I first went in and was so loud and funny - it made it more fun, she even had a dog with her. They were busy throwing things in a big box for some skinny celebrity, and I have to admit I guess that added to my buying frenzy. She gave me a super cool belt thrown in - so needless to say I'll be back. Pros: huge selection -& carried a size 12 even in the super cool stuff I wanted Cons: parking & getting out of the parking lot! more

I went to dinner at Grotto last week, and I saw some great outfits in the window at Vanessa Riley next door, so I decided to come back the next day. I couldn't believe how fabulous her things were! The store is filled with amazing blouses, dresses and other things that I couldn't wait to try on. Vanessa was there and told me she had just brought in some new fall items she had just finished, so I was excited to be the first one to see them. I ended up purchasing 2 outfits, and I was amazed at what a great value they were! I expected to pay a lot more for what I got, and I will definitely go back to see what's new. I wish I would have discovered her sooner! I will definitely bring my firends to her shop. Pros: Great location, fabulous variety of fashion items Cons: Parking lot is full when Grotto is busy more
