[SPOTLIGHT] Cicy's Boutique in Berkeley

Amidst the many restaurants, hair salons, and other typical shops that line University Avenue in downtown Berkeley, you'll find a wonderful, refreshing lil' clothing & shoe store called Cicy's Boutique!



Once you enter the store, your heart will be melted by all the cute clothes and shoes on display/for sale! Free People, Seychelles, Irregular Choice, are just a few of the many and plenty of brands available in this great boutique. Cicy also gives love and appreciation to the local independent designers around! Everytime I go in there are always adorable pieces by the indie designers! Oh and if you're lucky, sometimes you may embark on fabulous designer deals, including Marc Jacobs, Custo Barcelona, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Miu Miu (just to name a few).



I first met Cicy during spring of last year at her original location in Oakland Chinatown. Her store back then was just as tasteful as it is now! The only noticable difference is that her new store in Berkeley is about twice the size!




So, make sure you give Cicy some props and a sincere smile next time you're in the Downtown Berkeley area! ♥d

shop small at the big, shop big at the small!! :)

I'm starting to think that the best shopping (at least in the states) is all in SF. Cicy's boutique looks really cool-- I wish she would put more things on sale on her website though! I would so order some shoes.
