Review from Lai-Yee B.

5/3/2010 1 Check-in Here
I thought Truly Rhe was a very nice store. I recently stopped in expecting a pricey boutique and was pleasantly surprised with their prices.
I'd liken it to a more affordable Bebe and Cache with better quality clothing. They have a wide range of clothes that run from lounge wear to professional. Prices varied, but I found some cute dresses that were around $62, and cardigans around $30.
Adrienne mentioned a sizing issue here, it seems like it has changed in the past 2 years. I noticed a pretty decent amount of size/style selection when I was browsing, but didn't try anything on.
They had some sale items in the back, and lots of accessories along the side.
Overall, I'd go back here if I needed a dress (professional or casual - they had a bunch to choose from) or professional wear. The staff were also spot-on and very helpful. -

Blanche and I stumbled across this place this today after lunch at the Illium (stay tuned for a future review).
It is a place that upon entering smells like your grandmother, if your grandmother was a glamour-girl-hipster that lived in Newport Beach, CA for her whole life and took on lovers like Telly Savalas, like mine, but this is a story better best told over a drink. Onward with the review...
Rhe's tagline is "A Unique Boutique" and I will agree, largely because it is not your same old boutique cr*p. It is beautifully done with a large variety of especially nice/hip clothing at very reasonable prices for women. I would say that most of it, 95%, is new and there is also a good vintage selection in the back. I can't pick a subcategory for this place because they have such a wide variety of upscale items and accessories.
There is a lot of new/eclectic and vintage jewelry, all of which is very, very nice and I found several pairs of truly antique earrings, some for as low as $5.
I also found a selection of very hip luggage/bags that you would like to be seen in the airport with or slinking back to your car parked somewhere off of Lark St. with the morning after... I digress.
You get the idea, a great place to stop by and spend your dough on yourself or for your girl.
It is lacking that elusive 5th star because from what I can see, you have to be a size 6 or below to fit into most anything there, less the accessory clothing. I am willing to be corrected on this if applicable.
Or perhaps I should bump up those 3 miles a day to 6 and decline the free candy and brownies they have at this cool place. ;) -

This store gets some serious brownie points from me for its recent "shopping spree" in which it donated 10% of its sale proceeds to the Rensselaer County Sexual Assault & Crime Assistance Program. I am 30 years old and I have to agree with another reviewer, that the clothing are a bit on the mature side (more geared towards 50-60 year olds), but the accessories are fantastic. I have purchased several pairs of earrings, scarves, hats, and other little gift items here and have been happy with the unique selection, friendly service, and reasonable prices.
