Spotlight: April 19, 2010 – Lolly’s Fashion Lounge

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

There’s a fabulously chic boutique in downtown Chilliwack – have you been?  It’s called Lolly’s Fashion Lounge and we absolutely love it!  Kersh, Miss Me, D.E.P.T, Press – these brands and many more are all found at this charming Chilliwack clothing shop.  The store is bright, the selection is fantastic and it’s here in the Fraser Valley!  Ladies – it’s one to put on your list, for sure.

Owner Lois has a strong background is in all areas of retail.  For years she dreamed of opening her own clothing store and in 2000 she opened Lolly’s on Vedder Road in Chilliwack.  Originally Lolly’s exclusively sold maternity wear.  As time went on, they added some non-maternity styles and in 2005 made the change completely to a hip and trendy ladies fashion boutique. Why the change?  Lois admitted that she loved the maternity wear and chatting with the expectant Moms, but once they were finished having babies, she didn’t get to see them anymore!  Building relationships and socializing with her customers is her favourite part of Lolly’s, so the change was the right move.

In July 2009, Lolly’s Fashion Lounge moved to historic downtown Chilliwack.  Lois says it was a fantastic move and they are loving being involved in the downtown Chilliwack community.  Their new space is more than triple the size of the old location; it’s a gorgeous bright space right on Wellington Avenue.  Although the space is much larger, the cozy inviting feeling of Lolly’s has remained.  The staff are super helpful, the selection is vast and the store’s decor is just… happy!

Lolly’s carries a great selection of clothing, accessories and jewelry.  Mina UK, Cookie Johnson, Miss Me, Mexx, Jag, D.E.P.T, Kersh – you’ll find all these brands and more.  Until the past few years, these designer names, let alone a chic and trendy boutique, are not what we’ve been used to finding in the Fraser Valley.  This darling Chilliwack boutique would not be out of place in Yaletown (minus the city price tags).  But we’d like to keep it here in the Fraser Valley – don’t go getting any ideas, Lois!   :-P  Hee hee!

You’ll have to visit Lolly’s Fashion Lounge sometime soon to check out the fabulous Spring and Summer fashions.  Lois and long-time employee Les (who Lois refers to as ‘the best thing about Lolly’s’ – awww) are an absolute riot and they will be happy to help you find something stylish and comfortable.  They helped Brianna find some funky Spring dresses last month; what fun that was!

So who’s already planning a visit to Lolly’s?  Would you like a little extra motivation?  Lolly’s has generously donated a $150 gift certificate to one lucky FVP reader!  A $150 shopping spree at a fabulous Fraser Valley boutique = FUN!! Please leave a comment below to be entered to win. Winner will be chosen May 10, 2010.  Good luck!

  30. sheila says:

    I would love a $150.00 gift cetificate. I just turned the big 40 a week ago, I decided that this was the year to get me feeling better about myself. I’ve started to lose weight through a local program that I have joined and quit many times in the pass. I have made a promise to myself,to live the 40′s better then my 30′s. I still have another 75 pounds to lose and maybe a few after that to be at my goal. So if I was to receive a gift cert. what a good way to end my journey of weight loss, with some new clothes from a fabulous looking store. It’s been 8-9 years since I wore reg. size clothes,and I definately want to find my style again instead of wearing things just because they fit not because you really like it. This is my year to be the real me. Thanks FVP , I love reading your great finds.

  31. alexis says:

    it’s nice to have boutiques closer to home rather than having to go all the way downtown. this boutique looks big too instead of the tiny little ones that make you feel pressured and uncomfortable. can’t wait to finally go! :)

  32. Pam says:

    Time to shop till we drop ladies…..there’s a new fashion lounge in town!

  33. Wendy says:

    Lolly’s Fashion Lounge’s funky pieces look like a great mix of class, and fun! By the way, I love the ‘Kersh’ line.
