There are so many things I love about DragonLily. Of course the clothes, designed by boutique designers rather than big names and many local. This shop's selection feels creative, sophisticated and flirty. There are comfy chairs and interesting reading material to check out if you finish shopping before your friend. The people who work there and own the place look pretty funky/elegant and are easy going about letting me just look without sales pressure. The ideal customer would be a size 8 or under and be body confident; if you don't fit that description you still will find some things to try on. If you don't fit the ideal, go anyway because they have wonderful jewelry and the clothes are just worth looking at and you might surprise yourself. I have a friend from Manhattan who wants to visit DragonLily every time she visits, it's that good.
Pros: Staff, clothing, jewelry
Cons: parking (on street, easy to pass by on lower Hawthorne)
