and it’s not at Nordstroms. Still standing strong in downtown Bellevue is a humble boutique, La Ree located off of main street near the Bellevue Park.
It is refreshing to see a hidden gem with pieces that will brighten any woman’s wardrobe. With labels like Helmut Lang, Hanii Y, Elizabeth & James, M by Missoni, Alexander Wang and beautiful jewelry, there are great investment items that can be worn season after season.
The Owner, Rachael has a great eye and her choices are tasteful for her clients’ liking. With pieces that fly out the door, making frequent visits to the boutique is highly recommended!
There is no ‘I’ll get it next time,’ because there is no next time. Time and time again, pieces that I were eyeing were no longer available the following visit.

Not only is the staff friendly, but they are quite product knowledgable. It impressed me to see how detailed the staff knew about each garment to collection.

Q&A:
How long has La Ree been around? It has been 2 years in March, so approximately 2 years and 3 months.
And they’re doing remarkably.
How would you describe your clientele? The client is in the 35-65 age group and is looking for something unique and wearable. Their lifestyle is primarily the educated women that had worked at some time and is now raising children. Whether it is day or evening, the product fits their lifestyle.
Where do they reside? Primarily in the eastside and some are from Mercer Island.
What would be the current trends in the eastside by observation? scarves, layering pieces, summer dresses, dresses!, maxi dresses, the boyfriend jeans, and the oversized look.

They are open 7 days a week, so the next time you’re visiting downtown Bellevue, make sure to check out La Ree Boutique to find your summer styles.

looks super cute :] they’re aren’t that many good boutiques in bellevue… the only one that people go to is derek andrew. ng.
Derek Andrew is good for basics, like LnA or Michael Stars.
very true. Derek Andrews had a lot of good basics if that’s what you’re shopping for.
Faith I agree with you.. I frequent Derek Andrews.. love that place.. never been to La Ree though.. I’ll have to check it out.
I really need to check out La Ree today. I LOVE the decor through the pics and I know I’ll have a fabulous experience there. Truthfully, if the eastside wants to become the next rodeo, we desperately NEED chic boutiques. I’m so tired of going to Nordstroms or David Lawrence to pick out a few clothes… I really like to variety that boutiques have. :)
They only carry women’s clothes, but you should check out their scarves!
like thats going to stop me? hahaha.
I been to La Ree couple times and I do like them alot. There is a coffee shop right next to it called T Latte. I ruv to grab some ice coffee after shopping <3
Yea, it’s a bit ajuma style. :)
I went to T’Latte for the first time yesterday and their green tea lemonade something was nasty. haha I think it’s still in my car.
LOL, try their ice latte next time honey..
