I love Illume. Susan was such a delightful person & helped me to find to outfits that were really me. She took the time to get to know me with a friendly phone consultation when I made my appointment. Then when I arrived she promptly thanked me for arriving on time & again asked me questions about myself to familiarize herself with the Real Me!!! This really helped her to find Magical Magnolia Pearl pieces that really made me feel special, from her VAST Collection!!! Plus it was so fun to peruse her wonderful shop!!!! She styled me in clothing that was delightfully “me” and I have loved wearing these pieces several times since I bought them days ago. They inter-change wonderfully with each other and my other clothing because they “are me”! Thanks so much Susan! I can’t wait to come back to visit you in Bellair!!!

Love this store. I recently puchased a straw hat there. It was hand made by local weavers in Ecuador. It's unique and people comment on its design and quality.

Today I had the pleasure of shopping at Illume and adding to my favorite clothing line. Susan suggested a top that I passed over thinking it was a similar color to one at home. It was not at all!!She showed me ways to wear it, and suggested bottoms to go with.I occasionally call her for advice about if something goes together. Her best remark was “No, turn it inside out.” Have been wearing it that way ever since.I almost airways ask her to ‘make this an outfit.’She does, with one-of-a-kind vintage jewelry, silk and beaded tie on collars worn as jewelry, a beautiful purse, a layering garment or a flowing kimono, even cute socks.So fun shopping, exploring, chatting and seeing new ways to style a basic piece.Thank you Susan for always finding my perfect cute ‘whatever I’m looking for.’

ILLUME APPAREL is my favorite clothing boutique. The fact that every item in the store is created with amazing fabrics, and attention to detail, as well as sustainably sourced, adds much to the value. I like collecting clothing that is out of the ordinary. The proprietor, Susan is incredibly knowledgeable about fashion and styles outfits for me in ways I couldn’t think of! She’s a gem. Make an appointment to shop! There is much to be seen in this cute boutique ♥️ ‘JJ’

Strip mall multiple shops. Have been to and purchased from this store several times before Covid. Went there today the door was open, no visible sign stating that appointments were necessary ( because the door was open and the sign was on the front of the door) walked in and was told by the proprietor , I assume, that she had an appointment and I was not welcome to shop and she suggested I make an appointment. Felt like I was kicked out. Lock your door if you don’t want shoppers, you haven’t required appointments in the past so if you do now don’t hide the sign and leave your door open. One can purchase what you have on line from the designers as well as other retailers too bad I thought you had a nice selection won’t be back nor recommend .

Absolutely adore the store! Susan is incredible and so helpful! The jewelry collection is insane with unique handmade pieces that only you have one of! The clothes are so fun and extremely comfortable! Eco friendly and so many fun and funky clothes and brands you’ll be obsessed with really quick! Im a out of town shopper but she makes shopping through her instagram to find new arrivals and pieces easy to pick and buy! Can’t wait to go back
