SHOP LOCAL: UPTOWN BOUTIQUE


Located at Liberty Street and Maple Avenue in the new Independence Square, this boutique is truly a hidden gem on the Kansas City fashion scene. They carry designers like Diane von Furstenberg, Alice + Olivia, Milly, Vince and even Spanx. Uptown offers great apparel and accessories at a variety of prices so there's something for everyone. This a great place to go for women who want something different than what's at the local mall and who also don't want to travel downtown for the newest trends. You can also shop online at http://www.shoptheub.com/.  

 Anytime I've shopped there, the employees were always so nice and helpful; they didn't make me feel as though I was a burden, I've felt comfortable and relaxed. I think it helps that the store is somewhat smaller and employees are easy to find. There's nothing worse that trying to find an associate to help you or see that they are also juggling a number of other clients. 

A majority of their clothes are geared toward young women but they also have clothes that could cater to the mother's of these young women, in hopes that they could appeal to both mother and daughter at the same time. The location has a great small town feel and is within walking distance from other restaurants and local shops.
