La Chic Boutique

The owner Mary Anne was so welcoming & helpful… I am not a good shopper & she made me feel so comfortable. They have a great selection of really high-​end clothes for not high-​end prices. I’ll definitely be back!

The staff at La Chic Boutique are amazing and very helpful and even offered me wine as I shopped around the store. I items in this store is high quality and they will help you look good. I bought a Naturalizer boot, Calvin Klein leather jacket, Nordstorm jacket, a beautiful aqua marine dress, a beautiful black/​oilve dress, and 3 pairs of earrings. This store needs to have a branch in Los Angeles, California which I told the owner this, she is so sweet and her dog is so cute. I plan to make many many more visits to this boutique, it is truly a one of a kind find in Baltimore!!!

I had a little trouble finding this place only because I didn’t realize it was connected to the spa and hair salon. There were a lot of quality things here and all the staff were very friendly and sweet. The only reason I’m not giving it more stars is because since it’s more of an attachment I didn’t really think of it as being an actually consignment store. If you happen to be in the area though it’s worth a peek.

I cant say enough about La Chic Boutique! What a find. I found this little gem of a store after eating in Mt. Washington. This store has major inventory! Tons of designers from Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Tori Burch, Michael Kors, you name it! I walked out with a purse, a pair of shoes, and 5 outfits, all in perfect condition. I did not see one thing that looked used, worn or old. The store smells heavenly, and there were tons of little gifts behind the register, that were affordable. I will definitely be back to shop. Love this store.

Best finds. Back in December I managed to scoop platform Prada loafers! Mary Ann is a sweet riot with a great eye for high fashion but totally reasonable! This place is dangerous for a girl like me!

A pretty good consignment shop, you can find some great stuff. Some old fashioned brands — anyone remember Kenar. Place is a bit cluttered so you have to hunt around. Great dress selection. Nice owner,. Also has newer gift items like jewelry and pot pouriri. furs and prom dresses abound.

Great Consignment store. I love how the merchandise is displayed — so easy to find what you are looking for. I went right to the black rack and found some great things to try on — in the charming dressing room. I love what I bought and the owner and her daughter were so helpful. I can’t wait to go back and see what else they have.

I’m new to consignment. Never tried it before, actually ended up in Mt. Washington with the hopes of finding another consignment shop, but when I walked into this store oh my goodness gracious! The women were SUPER nice, and it made me remember why I love Mt. Washington as much as I do. Kind and courteous, really genuine, and super duper nice. Took quite a few dresses, and made me feel like they could sell as soon as tomorrow! Worth the trip because not only do they consign clothes, they sell new ones too!
SUPER DUPER cute, super duper nice, and so worth the trip.

La Chic Boutique made it so my poop won’t stink. I just LOVE saying that — especially since it’s true!
I stopped in on the fly just to check out the new store (it just opened this past October). It’s quaint and eclectic and oozing with girly goodness. You almost expect a pixie or two to pop up when you are not expecting it. Not quite… but then again, there is Mary Anne — the shop owner. With pretty, strawberry blond hair and bright eyes, she happily showed me the jewelry in the display case. I explained to her that I was getting married and wanted to buy bracelets for my mother and mother-​in-​law instead of traditional corsages since I knew they wouldn’t want to pin them on and wearing them on their wrists seemed sooooo junior prom. She showed me a lovely bracelet made by Indian designer Amrita Singh, whose jewelry can be found on on the wrists, necks, and ears of the rich and famous including celebrity Jennifers like Simpson, Lopez, and Aniston. I didn’t know all that when I asked to see it though. I just knew it was puuuurrrrtttty and within my budget ($ 62). I loved the detail and how the persimmon stones sat in the gold-​plated setting. GORGEOUS. The problem was that I needed two. In true fairy-​godmother fashion, Mary Anne floated to the back and came out with another. «Something told me to order two,» she smiled, handing me the second identical bracelet for me to inspect. Of course, it too was gorgeous. She offered to gift wrap them for free since I was giving them as presents and asked me if I would take a picture of my mom and new mom-​to-​be wearing them on my special day so she could display them in her store. How sweet was that?! Of course, I told her I would.
As she took her time wrapping each box, I decided to browse the store more since I got blinded by the jewelry on the way in. Even though it’s small, there’s a lot to choose from. There are other consignment stores in the Mt. Washington area and at least one other one on Smith Avenue itself, but this one was definitely geared toward a younger, trendy clientele as opposed to the other shops with a more classic, mature base. As I shopped, Mary Anne called over to me, explaining that she does a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ split with costumers who bring in their clothes and other items for consignment (SWEET! Most shops are ⁶⁰⁄₄₀ at best now) and that she is actively looking for more merchandise (she allows potential sellers to bring in five items at a time). «Anything BRIGHT and COLORFUL or FUNKY, and I’m a fan,» she sang, tying a bit more tooling to the bracelet boxes (a project that had now become a very elaborate gift-​wrapping production).
In addition to women’s clothing and shoes and even baby clothes, La Chic Boutique carries cool, artsy wooden plaques with sayings painted on them, scented oils for room freshening, and a fabulous line of body products called «Bodywhip» that smelled like heaven in a jar! YUM!
Mary Anne’s voice broke me from the spell the Bodywhip was casting over my senses, so I went back to the counter to collect the bracelets she had so carefully and intricately wrapped to perfection. I told her ‘thank you’ and again promised to bring back pictures of my moms and their bracelets. I was just about to leave when she asked her young god-​daughter (who was also behind the counter helping her) to fetch a sample from one of the fragrance corners of the boutique as a gift for me. I assumed it would be some Bodywhip, but it turned out to be even better… something called «Poo-​pourri.» The packaging explained how to use it: «Spitz the bowl before you go and no one else will ever know!» Hahaha! Hi-​larious! Shopping at La Chic Boutique took all of about 20 minutes, but it totally made my day in a very unexpected way. Because of Mary Ann, my moms will look gorgeous on my wedding day and I, the bride, will smell like roses at all times… no matter what I eat! LOL!
