Shop Review: Luxe Apothetique/Blue Elephant

This weekend, I went and checked out Luxe Apothetique, a boutique located at the Domain. The store is really big and spacious, and has such a big variety of merchandise. The concept is boutique crossed with an apothecary, hence the name. So about half the store is beauty products and gift items, like hair products from Bumble & Bumble and Phyto, skin products from Mario Badescu and makeup by Bare Minerals and Paula Dorf. They had a huge selection of fragrances from Bond No. 9, and gift items like Tocca candles. And they have a really great collection of young, fresh fun clothes, including designers Marc by Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, and Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent. I fell in love with this cute shirt from Marc by Marc Jacobs for $158.



But the best part about Luxe Apothetique is its outstanding collection of premium denim. They have every designer you could possibly want, including Citizens of Humanity, 7 For All Mankind, Joe's Jeans, and True Religion. They have a great selection of styles. I really love these cross-stitch A-pocket Sevens. They had a huge rack of denim on sale as well.



The sales people were super helpful, and very knowledgeable about the merchandise.


Luxe Apothetique is owned by the same owner as Blue Elephant, although the two stores have different buyers. Basically, Blue Elephant has the same sort of merchandise as Luxe Apothetique, but they tend to carry different styles from the same basic line-up of designers. Blue Elephant is located at 4001 North Lamar Suite #510 , in the Central Market Shopping Center.
