4U Urban Fashion Boutique

4U Urban Fashion Boutique

First, let me say this: it is downright odd to walk into any store in the Gateway Quarter and not be warmly greeted right away. I think it is more of a testament to the Quarter that I feel this way, than a demerit against 4U Urban Fashion Boutique that I was not immediately chatted up.

4U Fashion Boutique is the clothing shop that occupies what was once Outside. Not gonna lie: I miss Outside quite a bit, and it was hard even walking into that building again. But once you're inside, it's hard to imagine that there were ever bird feeders, terraria and grills strewn about-- it is completely transformed into a very chic little outfitter.

I'll admit to being a bit of a clothing cheapskate, but the prices at 4U were much lower than I'd expected. The items were all very unique, hip, well-made, and desirable; while the store does seem to be catering to the stick-figure body type, I still found quite a few items that I wouldn't mind introducing to my closet. They also manage a much larger men's selection than you typically find... well, just about anywhere.

High Street, Shepard Fairey mural

Dan and I have driven past High Street a hundred thousand times and never stopped in. This time was different-- they'd just had a Shepard Fairey mural installed, and we were curious to stop by and see it. And since we're suddenly in the market for awesome furniture anyway, might as well pop in before they close, yes?


I was warmly greeted as soon as I stepped inside. I was offered tea and we talked about the new mural. The salespeople were so kind and so helpful and so not in my way. I can't stress this enough... they were there when I wanted someone, and when I didn't they were nowhere in sight.


The store... is incredible. Everything I love, under one roof. Exquisite design, unique and so totally how I want our condo to look! (Some day, perhaps...)


One hangup: this chair is clearly supposed to be mine, so where does High Street get off stealing it from me?
