I have worked in retail and the fashion industry for years, and therefore hate the typical retail experience...I know what they are saying, why, and that its a sales pitch. Mas boutique is walking distance from my house, and I wandered in a few weeks after its opening after eating across the street at Millie's, expecting to be accosted by overzealous sales associates. I ended up spending at least an hour hanging out, talking, sipping on an afternoon glass of pinot grigio with the owner, Shannon. It was by far the most refreshing experience I have ever had in a store. Nothing but genuine love and intuition of clothing and people - and zero pressure. She and her partner will treat you like a friend, not a bag of money. Thanks ladies.
Pros: Rare finds, especially when you have a last minute event and don't have time or energy to drive to the west side.
Cons: I want to stay and hang out all day but have to leave at some point
