Illume Apparel

"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!!!"

"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’"

"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.’"

"Absolutely delightful!!! Illume is a wonderland of special women's clothing, shoes and jewelry! Susan styles her clients masterfully...she has changed my taste and given me a new look that is both comfortable and fun. I adore her and her charming store. I look forward to each and every appointment we schedule together, always learning from her vast knowledge and expertise. I am transformed....never to go back to boring!!"

"This is positively the best shop around!! I love that she sources responsible organic fabrics and everything looks and feels divine. Susan the shop owner is a gem as well. She truly cares about her clients and builds relationships with them. I leave there looking and feeling great!"
