Classy, Sophisticated, and Tory Burch. Three words that best describe one of Wilmington’s most upscale and elite boutiques; Monkee’s. This boutique was chosen not only for their extensive and bountiful collection of premier designers, but also for their overall shopping experience and wonderful customer interaction. As soon as you step foot in Monkee’s, you re immediately immersed into a feeling of luxury and assurance; that is, the assurance of knowing you are going to find way too many cute clothes. The boutique radiates elegance and grace from their jackie-o garden party cocktail dresses, right down to their numerous chandeliers and french wall sconces. All the girls at Monkees are very knowledgable about their inventory and designers, and have such talent at pulling the right pieces and sizes to style any woman. However, the service isnt the only bragworthy aspect about Monkees, the exquisite collection of fashionable clothing and top shelf accessories also back up the well known reputation that Monkee’s has aquired. Some of the staple labels found year round at Monkees include: Trina Turk, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, BCBG, Milly, Shoshanna, and Tibi. Monkee’s houses the most chic cocktail dresses and classy resort wear. The girls at Monkees are anxiously awaiting the cute spring clothes they ordered for you months ago. Spring lines for Shoshanna and Milly have already been spotted on the display windows at Monkees, as well as a brand new line called “Robbi and Nikki”. Jennings Lathan, an employee of monkees, is most excited about the Robbi and Nikki line because they include fun bright tops that can be paired with your favorite jeans. As if you needed an excuse to come into Monkees, I will go ahead and give you one: ladies, spring break is in less than 4 weeks. The Tory Burch flip flops are on display, along with countless “to-die-for” spring tops, resort dresses, pastel shorts, and colorful jewelry. Its never to early to start buying spring clothes, especially for us Wilmington girls who know how early in the year the warm weather starts back up. Spring clothing is not the only new thing to Monkees this season, they are getting in numerious new perfume fragrances, Kate Spade clothing, and Tibi Shoes. If you havent already started packing for your spring vacation somewhere warm, why not start at Monkees? Monkees is located in the Lumina Station shopping center off of Eastwood Avenue. Stop by and check out Monkees, I promise youll go “bananas”.
