Francesca’s Collections

I absolutely ADORE francesca’s! Their clothing and shoes are unique, and of very good quality. You may have people say that this is an over priced forever 21, but you have to also look at the quality. This is not forever 21 quality AT ALL– it is Better. They can improve with the accessory quality, though. Every piece that I have purchased from here only lasts for one wear, which SUCKS because it is a tad pricey. I also purchased a cute bag from here, and the chain is now a copper, instead of gold. So my tips would be the following:
1) Do not buy accessories here (they do not last)
2) Unique pieces, so try them on before you purchase (goes for shoes as well)
3) Be aware of their refund policy
I am still loyal to Francesca’s, but just backed away from purchasing accessories here.

High priced forever21

This is my favorite Francesca’s location! It’s a little bit bigger than others nearby, and the sales associates are always awesome. I don’t think I’ve ever walked out of here with nothing! Great selection of cool tops and jewelry, some kitschy home and gift items, gorgeous, well-​curated dresses and handbags, and my favorite — the jeans! They are the hidden gem of Francesca’s, inexpensive, they fit well, and keep their shape through lots of washing and drying. Don’t forget to sign up for their mailing list to make sure you know when they’re having sales!
Not to mention, Highland Village is a great location. Great stores nearby and plentiful parking (even though you might have to hunt for it).

Super cute clothes and accessories! Also very affordable. Very friendly and accommodating staff! I will be back for sure.

Cute, can be pricey, but worth it

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve sat in this store while my wife tries on their dresses. She loves their dresses, and judging by the number of ladies who walk through their door — she isn’t the only one.

Located in a nice strip mall. This cute boutique is small but they are packed with trendy items to add to any girly girl’s wardrobe. I can always find a piece or two to add to my collection. The girls here are great about taking your items and putting it in a fitting room for you while you shop some more. I’m a petite girl and I usually wear a small but I cannot fit in all the smalls here. They’re usually too loose. I guess it depends on the brand. That frustrates me a little because the clothes here are so cute!

GIRLY GIFT CENTRAL
I LOVE this little boutique! It’s got women’s apparel, jewelery, bags, and various knick-​knacks and specialty items. For example, some of the quirky stuff I saw last time I was shopping — a miniature smiley faced ice pack, floral hammer, an ice cube tray that makes shot glasses, cutesy/​funny kitchen tools, funny books, take-​out menu binder, pink peacock umbrella, etc. These gifts are great for birthdays, girls night, or just a funny pick-​me-​up! All the merchandise is trendy, super cute, and up-​to-​date.
This particular Francesca’s is located in an upscale Highland Village strip center. When I shop here, my day has usually played out like this — lunch at RA sushi, then walk to Z Gallerie, Banana Republic, Victoria’s Secret and then (drumroll) Francesca’s! Yay!
Take your girlFRANS to Francesca’s!

Francesca’s is a well-​edited version of the current trendy gifts and styles– you will find a great selection of cute Fred’s doodads, cheap jewelry, and great add-​ins to make your birthday/​bachelorette gift extra fun.
The clothes are okay, kind of run-​of-​the-​mill boutique clothing (read: lower quality but cute and on trend). When I take the time to dig through the racks I usually find a piece or two to add to my wardrobe, but you do dig through a lot of «eh» pieces first. On the other hand I got an adorable dress with a tiny kitty print for 40 dollars. Make sure to remind the salesgirl about the posted discounts, I have had them forget multiple times when checking out.
Clothes are hit or miss, but this is a perfect last-​minute gift destination.

I really like Francescas. they have great items, scarves, dresses, shoes, handbags, accessories. Their prices are pretty good too– you can find great sales frequently. The staff at Highland Village is very friendly and helpfull– I also visit the Woodway Village location. I was just there today and purchased some suede looking flats on sale 30% off– i paid about 23.00, a set of 4 bracelettes for 5.00 and a tags for my luggag at .68 cents!

Francesca’s combines the best of both worlds: the affordability and selection of Harwin-​area stores and the ambiance and customer service of a more upscale boutique.
One of the things I enjoy most about Francesca’s is that if I’m at a total loss for a birthday, graduation, Christmas, etc. present, I know I can walk into Francesca’s and be inspired. They carry a wide range of jewelry, purses, accessories, clothing, candles and various household tchotchkes, ranging from the trendiest young tops to necklaces your mom would love.
Make sure you take a special look at the clothing — it’s different every time, and always sublime. They don’t always carry larger sizes, unfortunately, which is one reason I can’t give them five stars. And occasionally, a necklace you’ve only worn a few times will break, but I suppose that’s the price you pay for bargain jewelry. With that in mind, don’t forget to check out the 2 for $ 20 table in the back, for excellent deals on necklaces, earrings and bracelets.

My sister turned me onto Francesca’s while I was visiting for the holidays. What a cute boutique! They have all sorts of trendy cute tops, dresses and sweaters, plus tons of accessories for incredibly reasonable prices. The salespeople are nice and very accommodating.
I visited Highland Village first, where I fell in love with a dress, but they did not have my size; no worries, a ring up the street to Uptown secured my outfit. The Uptown location is smaller and less busy, and I noticed they had a larger selection of scarves. This store reminds me of a certain overblown, hyped up San Francisco boutique (Ambiance) but with a more edited and reasonably priced selection.
