Remember my post about the newest addition to West Village? California-based
clothing boutique, y&i, celebrated their grand opening last Thursday June 7th.
If a line of eager customers waiting out the door were any indication of
success, then I would say owners Robyn and Robin (hence the y and the i…) have
good reason to celebrate! The Dallas high school besties and college roommates
have combined their love of fashion to create a boutique that is fun,
fashionable, and best of all- affordable. The store is full of flowy dresses, colorful
tops, and bright accessories that allow customers to mix brands and create a stylish
look for a reasonable price. A 100+
crowd turned up last Thursday night to kick off the store’s arrival to West
Village and of course, shop!
From the minute the doors opened, anxious customers poured
in and the first 50 attendees scored some pretty sweet swag bags. Needless to
say, the bags went fast! But those that arrived fashionably late did get a
chance to win some free goodies in a raffle. (I'm talking legit shoes, jewelry and gift cards!) Every fifteen minutes a ticket was
drawn and the number called out won a prize.
Sadly, my number was never called (I had my hopes on winning a pair of
snakeskin flats) but my purchases were quickly justified when I learned all
merchandise was 20% OFF! After obsessing over the assortment of clothes and
jewelry, I had worked up an appetite. The stylish soiree, hosted by Dallas Tidbits, featured complimentary Mediterranean bites from Baboush and Pinkberry,
as well as sips from No. 3 Dry Gin from Anchor Distilling Company.
