Located at 2434 Rice Blvd, Raspberry Rose has been a Rice Village mainstay since 1983.  Owner Carrie Schwartzenburg grew up in the chic retail boutique learning the retail industry from her mom.  Opening as a resale store at its original location in 1976, Raspberry Rose has evolved into a hip and cool “go to” shop for casual to work attire.  Raspberry Rose clothing lines cater to ladies in their twenties to sixties (I’m sure a few hip “mature” ladies we know shop there too!).

The store is nicely arranged to easily find favorites and must have pieces.

You’ll find the latest and greatest styles from designers Michael Stars, Ella Moss, Bailey 44, XCVI and more.  One favorite this season is the Johnny Was embroidered shirt.  It looks great layered, belted or just worn with a comfy pair of jeans.

Another favorite is the LillaP Origami Wrap (seen below).  This top is one clothing item with infinite possibilities.  It can be worn as a halter, tunic, long sleeve wrap, and more.  It looks great worn alone or layered with a tank or under a jacket.  Raspberry Rose has the long sleeve Origami Wrap in many colors for your fall wardrobe.

Check out this chocolate colored leather jacket and scarf.  It is hard to imagine "cold weather", as we are in the midst of this heat, but what better way to look cool in the cold?

Raspberry Rose’s large selection of belts and scarves can finish your look over clothes, but undergarments are also important!  Plenty of tanks and shape wear line the back walls.  When an outfit can’t “support” a regular bra, NuBra is your answer.  These self-adhesive bra cups stay put all day, can be washed and re-used.  Hanky Panky panties are also a fun, colorful and lacey way to complete your outfit.

Alongside fabulous clothing lines are displays of jewelry.  You can create your own necklace with chains and drops from local designer Monica Haff.  The San Benito charm necklace from Virgin Saints and Angels is a best seller.  Necklaces designed with precious and semi-precious stones and metals from another local designer, Rebecca Lankford Designs can be layered or worn alone to compliment any outfit.

Next time you’re shopping in the Rice Village stop by Raspberry Rose.  You’ll find Carrie there or across the street at Loop.  Loop is Carrie’s newest venture and will be opening soon!  There you will find fashionable AND affordable shoes and accessories.   So check out all the latest fashions on either side of Rice Blvd.  And don’t forget, to come see all the best Raspberry Rose has to offer at our Girls Night Out October 17th!
