Lily Rain

Cute clothes, nice skincare line, great gifts and accessories. Staff could be friendlier.

Super cute store, but this: My friend and I had each brought a few items into the fitting rooms, and then nobody bothered to check on us. Friend needed a dress in another size, and I needed CH jeans in a different cut. We waited for five minutes, but the associates never came. In the end, I put back on all my clothes to get some more jeans and the dress for my friend, and at that point, an associate walked over to me, seemingly disgruntled that I was fishing through the jean pile.

I love love love this boutique. They have the cutest clothes and its not terrible quality. Most boutiques in the village have crap clothes that will disintegrate after day but not lily rain. Keep in mind good quality clothing comes at a price but it is well worth it. They also have home décor and accessories that are also very stylish and fashionable. Plus very nice stationary.
It’s always super clean inside and they have huge windows so theres plenty of natural light giving the place a glow. I am always greeted when I walk in and asked if I need assistance. My last visit a girl named Aileen was super helpful and helped me pick out a gift for my friends birthday. The fitting rooms are always clean and they also have sale racks there too. Great place to shop!

Love Lily Rain! People keep referring to it as a boutique, but it’s a pretty large storefront with beauty products, clothing, books, knick knacks, and jewelry. For buying gifts, this is a great one stop shop to find something undeniably adorable and to be appreciated.
They sell great high quality brands but because it’s such a hidden secret, you can find hidden gems on sale. Recently the sale rack was an additional 50% off, so I got a knee length work skirt for $ 14.90!
I feel like the store is usually understaffed on the weekend, but it’s so organized that I never notice it and appreciate the chance to shop in peace. Sales attendants have great options that I trust when I’m shopping alone.

Love this little shop! Tons of new cute gift ideas. Not the best spot when looking for something specific but never fails my ‘wish list’ will grow within 5 minutes of this spot!

I stumbled across this adorable boutique the other day in rice and was so surprised/​excited. How have I been missing this place all these months!
They have a good mix of clothing and unique little gifts. I have yet to find a place like it in Houston. If you need a good gift for a friend come take a look here. Just one star off for being a little pricey (but then again thats probably what makes me like it).

Cute boutique with tons of cute things at reasonable price!!! Whether you want some cute things for home or shopping for gifts to friends, there is the right place. LOVE their collection, so many great picks.
Staff are nice too. I was wearing my Vans with cat print that day, and one of the staff noticed my shoes and showed me some socks with matching cat print:)

I popped in here today to check out the store and to pick up a swag bag they were offering through Tidbits (for Front Row members only, sorry). The employees greeted me immediately and explained the different brand Lily Rain carries (including their own house brand) as well as the overall concept of the store. They sell clothing, shoes, jewelry, accessories and gifts. For clothes, they sell high-​end brands like Paige denim, French Connection and Trina Turk. I noticed Dogeared jewelry as well as Jonathan Adler picture frames and mugs.
The store design was really cute, and it looked like a fun place to browse if I had more time (and money). I did see some really beautiful items during my quick loop around the store, but the majority of the jewelry appeared cheaply made and not worth the boutique price tag. However, I was able to find my über-​conservative friend a very affordable «Disappearing Bill of Rights» mug, the text of which vanishes upon the addition of hot liquid. He got a kick out of it, so that was money well spent. Selling gender-​neutral products like these may be a good way of enticing men into the store, too.
In general, the store reminded me of a cross between Anthropologie and Francesca’s, leaning toward Anthropologie’s clothing style (and price tag) and more towards Francesca’s when it comes to gifts, jewelry and accessories. Other than marketing themselves as a small local business, I”m not sure how they plan to differentiate from the other two major players as well as other stores in the Rice Village area with the same concept, but I hope for their sake they stay in business. Next time I shop here it probably won’t be for the clothing, but with hopes of finding a cool unique gift. Also, their gift packaging is really pretty!

Super nice staff! Always a perk! Like an anthropology but better prices. Unique boutique selection of jewelry and trendy shirts/​dresses/​purses/​sandals even has Kate Spade stationary, plus lotion, and diffusers.
Green company that gives the reusable bags for their shopping bags :)
Next paycheck and I will probably pay another visit.

Awesome new boutique in Rice Village! Not only does it offer a large variety of clothing, but it also has a great denim selection.
While the clothing section is a great place to start, the store offers other quirky, fun gifts and a considerable selection of beauty products. The beauty selection is unique as I have not seen many of the products in other Houston stores. However, they provide bowls of samples next to a few of these products (which I definitely took advantage of) and some information on a few of the brands.
If you’re walking around Rice Village, it is definitely worth stopping by and taking a look around!

I love the store and the merchandise is absolutely flawless. However, the people that work there kind of give you attitude and are always following you around. There is quite a lot of merchandise to browse but if you take your time its like they assume your stealing.

New boutique in the village, only about a month open at the time of this review.
First, they validate for that ridiculously expensive parking garage that it’s attached to!
Mostly women’s clothing and accessories with a small space reserved for home goods and gifts in the back.
Prices range from $ 20 tees to $ 200+ garments.
Belinda was the associate working — very helpful, friendly, and relaxed!
Definitely recommend and will be bringing my girl friends when they visit Houston.

Great new boutique! LOVE the jewelry and dresses are super cute. If you want something unique and fun, go here!

Lilyrain is a cute little boutique in Rice Village, in between bed bath and beyond and express men. They have a wide variety of clothing, accessories, home goods, and beauty products, both from popular designers (Kate Spade, Jonathan Adler, French Connection, Butter, etc.) and of their own brand, lilyrain.
The store has a nice boutique feel, with a wide variety of accessories to choose from but only one of each a style available, and a supply of casual and ‘dressy casual’ clothing (nothing you would wear to work). I did not see any plus-​sized or even many large clothes, so if you’re a bit bigger you might have a hard time finding clothing that fits, but the accessories and other items are well worth a visit.
The staff was friendly and the store was clean. I loved the feel of the store– very open and light, and the place is filled with natural light during the day.
Prices ranged from cheap to moderate to pricey, so if you have a budget you can still find a nice accessory for a good price.
